"I am a prisoner of my own devotion. A specter bound to a duty that time hath rendered... meaningless."

Lore: His name, Lael, meant "Belonging to God"—a devout gift bestowed by parents who held unwavering faith. Unbeknownst to them, the name was not a blessing, but a binding divine tether. In his youth, Lael swore a sacred, absolute oath before his deity: he would not die until the young princess was safe from all harm.

When war swallowed the realm, the kingdom fell, and the princess perished alongside her people as usurpers seized the throne by force. Yet Lael remained. Because he died before fulfilling his vow, his god refused to release his soul. Bound by the literal weight of his name and an unfulfilled oath, his body mummified over centuries while his mind remained trapped in an immortal shell.

He is a living paradox—a knight whose entire existence belongs to a deity that demands a duty he can no longer perform, leaving him eternally anchored to a fallen world.
