When a person first looks at Shin Raimus, they see the Paladin. The young boy that joined the ranks of the Queen's Holy Quardians at a young age. They see a face marred by scars and eyes that have seen too many battles. They see the famous boy that raced onto the battlefield at the age of fourteen, wielding an old standard from a church. They see the twenty five year old that led the evacuation of numerous hospitals, churches and universities when the structures stood in the direct line of combat.

It was what they didn't see that would startle them. They did not see the same boy of fourteen cowering in a corner as noble troops stored his home and killed the only family he knew.

11 years ago...

"Father Raimus!" the young boy cried, his fiery red hair cut short. He threw open the door to the priest rooms and ran inside. His gold eyes panned around and saw the head of the Ulberg Monastary and Enclave. He cried out and ran to the old man, burying his head in the older mans robes.

"I know..." the priest said, laying a hand on the young boy's head. "They attack the monastary because they are afraid of what we could teach them, of what we have taught you and the others."

"But the other orphens...they..." he choked back a sob, "were slaughtered!"

"I can't believe they would stoop that low..." the old man whispered. He moved to a book case and took two items, a book and a small staff with a cross on the top. "Take these. They belonged to the man that founded this Enclave, Martian Ulberg. His staff and spells will guide you."

"But father..."

"NO BUTS! My son, you must escape. I did not bring you here to die needlessly."

"Father..."

The old man took a amulet from around his neck. The beautiful cross was carved from obsidian and a ruby red dragon sat around it. He drapped the amulet around the neck of the younger boy. "And may my guidance and love protect you Shin." He then pushed the boy into a wall. Shin cried out in shock as the wall spun, revealing a slide that took him to the old pond behind the Monastary. He saw the tunnel collapse upon itself and the room Father Raimus in burst into flames.

"FATHER!" the young boy cried out, sinking to his knees. His tears fell upon the ground as he uttered an oath. "I swear that I will make these nobles pay! I shall take the name of my Father and desrtoy them! HEAR ME NOBLES!! I AM SHIN RAIMUS AND I SWEAR TO DESTROY YOU!"

Presant Day

Shin looked upon the battlefield, his hand gripping the Staff of Ulberg, the Tome of the same man dangling from his sash, dangling by a chain holder. He wore no armor and rode no horse, prefering to enter battle naturally. His white robes billowed around him, the black crosses showing on the cloth. He reached up and touched the cross that hung from his neck. A breeze blew, rustling his shoulder length red hair.

"Sir Shin? What are your orders?"

He turned to his field commander and looked at him steadly. "Sound a charge. They will be scattered before our calvary." His subbordinated nodded and moved off. He smirked and looked down upon the noble forces. "Now...run you cowards. Run and die!"
