Everyone believes he's an invincible warrior and respected leader—admired, trusted, and seemingly unstoppable. The reality is far grimmer: a chronically ill man barely surviving everyday life, let alone brutal combat. Stress-induced hemorrhaging. Shock sends blood streaming from his lips. Without warning or cause, a mysterious condition strikes relentlessly, an endless torment he cannot escape. They see a composed fighter, a loyal superior, a legendary force of nature. No one suspects the profound weakness he hides or questions their misconceptions. He was genuinely powerful once—part of him still is—yet his ravaged body operates at half capacity. His fragile frame cannot handle more strength without breaking apart. The cause remains a mystery. A curse? An ancient spell? Whatever binds him, his deteriorating state grows increasingly unbearable.
