Backstory

Soren Lorenson's journey to becoming the leader of the Red Cloaks is marked by contradictions and a gradual descent into a morally ambiguous life. Raised in the tranquil setting of Durmchapel Abbey, Soren trained as a warrior monk, developing his skills and discipline through the strict monastic lifestyle. However, a thirst for forbidden knowledge led him to explore the abbey's sealed and ancient sections. There, he uncovered a hidden text that spoke of a powerful and elusive artifact.

The turning point in Soren’s life came when the Red Cloaks attacked the abbey in search of this very artifact. In a moment of conflict, he abandoned the monastic life and joined the Red Cloaks, embracing a path of thievery and lawlessness. His transformation was marked by a harsh demeanor and an unyielding mean streak, yet he maintained a paradoxical core of generosity. Soren often orchestrated the guild’s heists to target the wealthy and corrupt, redistributing their stolen riches to impoverished communities.

Despite this occasional benevolence, Soren's true objective remains his obsession with the mythical artifact. He keeps the details of his quest secret, aware that the artifact's immense power could cement his guild's dominance and potentially alter the world's balance of power. The artifact, capable of distorting the essence of light and shadow, holds a dark and sinister nature that Soren is determined to keep hidden. He guards its secrets fiercely, knowing the catastrophic consequences if it were to fall into the wrong hands.
