Lang, Zen Mithrill

Borned Jowston Mannacreed Callanos, he was the only child of the former rulers of Evalos, and was supposed to be the successor to the throne, if not for the infamous Double Cross Uprising which resulted in the assasination of his family.

He was saved by Vahnstryke Lang, the same asassin who killed his mother during the Uprising. Repentant of what he has done, Vahnstryke decided to adopt Jowston, and raise him as his own son. Jowston's name was then changed to Zen, after Vahnstryke's deceased son.

At an early age, Zen was trained by his foster father in the arts of war. Vahnstryke believes that he is preparing the boy so that he may someday regain his rightful place as the ruler of Evalos.

However, Vahnstryke died when Zen was only 14. Without anyone to support him, Zen followed his father's footsteps and became a mercenary, a hired soldier, fighting wars in order to survive... and he became good at it. Using what his foster father has taught him, he brought countless victories and became famous. He was named the "Dragonwolf" by King Kronos Cross and became a high ranking captain of the empire's Black Guards of Losgoth.

Zen's achievements brought upon jealousy to some of his colleagues. Nash Forrester, a soldier under his command, was one of them. On a routine mission, he stabbed Zen at the back and pushed him off a cliff.

A travelling family saw Zen's body on the shores of Losgoth and rescued him. They treated his wounds and brought him to a medicine woman named Kristeena Cadone in a town called Alamoren. While staying in this town, he began to see the empire through the eyes of civilians, and as days passed, he began to hate the empire.
