Octavius Bonecracker.
Once the firstborn son of a mighty emperor, Octavius was destined for the throne. His twin brother, born moments later, destined to be a black sheep. Their mother died bringing him into the world, and the emperor — shattered by grief — blamed the younger boy. Octavius was groomed for rule; the twin was cast aside, forgotten, unwanted.Dejected, the younger twin turned to the dark powers of Baphomet, the Horned King. In exchange for strength, he embraced savagery. He returned with a horde of minotaurs and demons, razed the empire to ash, and in the final hour slew both his father and Octavius in the burning throne room.From those ashes, a benevolent force — perhaps a forgotten god of justice, perhaps something older — chose Octavius as its champion. The paladin was remade. His once-brilliant white fur and black hair are now stained gray with soot and sorrow; his mane is stark white, as if the fire bleached it clean of its past. He rose not for vengeance alone, but for cleansing. Every labyrinth he enters, every minotaur he slays, every undead he purifies — he burns away the corruption that once consumed everything he loved. His rest will not come until the powers that chose him declare the world scoured clean. Until then, he walks, Silver and Steel crossed on his back. A half-Minotaur paladin who will never again let a brother be cast aside, or a kingdom fall to the beast within
