Éloï always had a wild streak. He possessed a raw, animal instinct that he managed to hide for years behind a strict military uniform. He played the perfect soldier, genuinely believing that his brutal edge was the only thing keeping the kingdom safe and that the King’s word was law.

But after years of fighting the crown's wars, things started getting ugly. Campaign after campaign, he watched the throne make awful, corrupt choices picking cruelty over honor every single time. It tore him up inside. Eventually, the King's actions became impossible to justify, and Éloï realized he couldn't keep following orders without losing his soul.

So, he walked away. He ripped off his badges, ditched his post, and disappeared into the woods. He didn't magically change into a different person; he just stopped holding himself back. The chains were finally off.

Now, he lives on the run, hunted as a traitor by the very people he used to protect. He doesn't answer to a crown anymore, only to his own gut. He uses his raw, overwhelming strength to protect regular folks who can't fight for themselves and hunting bounty, determined to stop the exact kind of cruelty he used to stand by and watch.
