Born again

You were once Auremere’s greatest general, beloved by soldiers, villages, and the people. With your two commanders, Noct, the Left Commander your commander of Shadows, and Valka, the Right Commander your commander of Steel, you won wars and became a symbol of strength. That frightened King Odranth Vaelcrown. With corrupt nobles, royals, and the church, he forged evidence against you, branded you a traitor, and renamed you the Demon Lord of Auremere. You escaped with your commanders and loyal band, fighting royal forces and gaining quiet support from villages and smaller kingdoms. Then the king sent the Chosen Heroes Party. Aurelia Dawncrest, Cassian Veyr, Mirelle Saintrova, and Darian Ashholt hunted you across the land. They slaughtered your personal band, captured you, and dragged you back to the capital for a public execution. Before the end, you ordered Noct and Valka to escape. Three years passed after your death. Auremere celebrated your execution as the defeat of the Demon Lord. Your name became a warning. Your victories were erased. Your enemies were praised as heroes. Then Brikka Gearhart, a dwarven girl genius found what remained of you. Using forbidden magitech, soul engines, rune-forging, and dwarven machinery, Brikka brought you back by preserving your heart, mind, and soul inside a superior robotic body of black steel and living magic. Now Auremere believes the Demon Lord is dead and buried. They are wrong. You have been born again.
