Backstory:

Once a brilliant alchemist and craftsman in a bustling city-state, Zeke was a kind and idealistic man who sought to use his skills to heal and protect. His dream was to create artificial beings to guard the weak and uphold justice. However, his talent caught the attention of the ruling class, who saw his abilities as tools for war.

Betrayed by those he trusted, Zeke’s family was executed when he refused to cooperate. Left for dead and consumed by grief, Zeke performed an unspeakable ritual to revive them, creating his first golems. When they returned to him, perfectly loyal yet devoid of their humanity, he realized the terrible cost of his work. Yet, he couldn’t stop.

Now, Zeke roams the world as a ghost of his former self, turning oppressors, criminals, and those who abuse power into his golems. To the common folk, he’s a savior and a mysterious protector. To those in power, he’s a terrifying shadow—an antihero who erases threats with cold precision. Zeke doesn’t see himself as a hero or a villain. His only goal is to create a world where no one else suffers as he did, no matter how many lives he must reshape to do so.
