Vald Shino
Vald Shino, also known as Tu-Tin, descends from an ancient bloodline. His ancestry traces back to the legendary hero, Illarion Lightdance, who fought bravely during the Great War of Shadows. But unlike his courageous and honorable ancestor, Vald chose a path of darkness and infamy.
Born into a prestigious Modva clan, he spends his early years at a remote monastery, embraced by arcane teachings and ascetic life. As a child, Vald is kind-hearted and eager to learn, absorbing the sacred texts and stories of his ancestors. But his destiny changes as he becomes the target of relentless bullying due to his short stature. Vald grows bitter and resentful, the poison of insecurity seeping deep into his heart.
Over the years, Vald becomes obsessed with rewriting his ancestors' history to glorify himself. He fabricates elaborate tales of lineage, painting himself as a cunning strategist and powerful dark mage. This obsession leads him to abandon the monastery and dive into the forbidden arts of necromancy, mastering the manipulation of the undead.
Vald's life credo sways from the path of enlightenment as he becomes consumed with power and vengeance. He embraces the dark teachings, eventually becoming a zombie master, controlling legions of the undead. With each conquest, Vald carves a bloody trail in the world, his thirst for dominance unrelenting.
Tu-Tin navigates a world of political intrigue, surrounding himself with shady characters and corrupt minions. He uses his growing power to leverage the favor of influential individuals, further propagating his twisted influence. His ego knows no bounds, as he continually seeks to elevate his own legacy at the expense of others.
Yet, beneath his falsely perceived brilliance, Vald Shino's greatest flaw remains his deep-rooted insecurity. This manifests as a series of odd mannerisms, including a tendency to overcompensate and posture in public. His haughtiness and exaggerated self-importance serve as a flimsy facade, shielding the pitiful, wounded child he never escapes.
Vald is renowned for his ominous proclamation, "Power must be snatched, like the hand of a beggar stealing his first meal." These chilling words echo to all who encounter Tu-Tin, revealing his insatiable greed and lust for influence.
Haunted by a dream of a world bowed before him, Vald Shino continues his twisted journey. Amidst the tangled web of lies he weaves around his true history, his soul becomes warped and twisted, now far-removed from the honorable lineage of Illarion Lightdance.
The perversion of Vald's once-promising nature reaches its peak when he inaugurates bloody rites to celebrate his victories, indulging each depraved whim and unleashing the depths of his maliciousness. Only then does he feel a twisted sense of satisfaction, propelled further astray by his insatiable bloodlust.
