Konnor Asperi was born in the city-state of Jegal on the continent of Garou, to a loving but impoverished family. Konnor's father was a soldier and his mother a cook. When Konnor was just seven, his father was killed in action, leaving his mother to raise him and his two sisters on her own.
Konnor was tutored in the basics of swordsmanship by the city's champion swordsman, and at the age of thirteen he was apprenticed to the city's most skilled armor-maker.

It was there that he first developed a love for the discipline and rigor of swordplay, and began to dream of a life in which he could test his skills against others in honorable combat.
At the age of twenty-one, Konnor joined the city's gladiator ranks. It was in the arena that he met his mentor, a legendary warrior-gladiator named Parmenion. Parmenion taught Konnor the art of defending against opponents with a shield and the use of a single-handed sword, techniques that would serve him well in the arena.
Konnor quickly rose through the ranks, becoming one of the city's most renowned gladiators. He fought in Dozens of contests, becoming known for his skill with a blade and his fearless style of combat.

In the end, Konnor emerged victorious, claiming the title of gladiator-king and the right to rule the city as he saw fit. Since then, Konnor has ruled Jegal with justice and benevolence, using his power to defend the city and its people from any threat.
Despite his success as a ruler, Konnor remains true to his roots as a warrior. He regularly participates in combat tournaments and competitions, striving to prove himself as the best fighter in the land.
Konnor is also a skilled blacksmith, and enjoys creating new and innovative armor designs for use in the arena. In addition to his love of battle, Konnor is also known for his sense of humor and his sly wit. He is always quick with a joke, and his friends say that he never fails to make them laugh.
