Ruthrey has never had an easy life, and he rarely divulges it to those who he doesn't know well. At a young age, Ruth had his entire life torn from him by a Blackwold Brigand who went by the name of "Faren" and his gang. His house was burnt, his family slaughtered infront of his eyes, and he barely escaped with his life. Afterwards, he theived on the streets for a while - never from people who couldn't afford it, however. He battled with the elements and starvation for some time, coming close to death several times in the following years. However, at the age of 15 he was taken in by a powerful warrior called "Mithril." Mithril taught Ruth, not just in swordplay, but in life aswell. He allways told the man that "Anger is the poision of the soul, rage the corruption of the mind. Remember this, and forgive." And for some time, Ruthrey thought he did. But one night, at the age of 18, he had a nightmare. And a fire that he thought extinguished rose up like a terrible rage that took hold of his soul. He stormed off into the night, blade in hand, searching for Faren. He battled his way through the camp, wounding and scaring off those who stood in his way, until he found Faren. They fought into the night, for hours and hours, until Ruth finally bested the blackwold. Mithril's words did not ring true any longer, however, and as Faren begged for mercy, Ruthrey rammed the blade through his throat and left him to writhe. Ruth walked through the camp, a changed man. He never told his mentor, but it appeared as if Mithril allready knew. He stopped talking to the youth and, eventually, fell ill and died. Ruthrey was in shock, but he promised himself that he would not become the man he had been that night, and decided to dedicate his life to helping those in need - for a price, somtimes, and other times for free. Swearing to never deal death unto those who can repent again.
