Ashton Provost

Ashton Provost, formally known as the 5th Commanding knight of the Kruryn Empire, is on a crusade for the glory of his empire and himself. The lands of Ilyar and Yehrid have been corrupted by magic and should be purified by steel, according to him, at least. He knows full well the difference between what he does and what he allows in his empire, but this doesn't change his viewpoint in the slightest. His empire will triumph over the corrupted kingdoms; there will be no room for debate in his mind.

While Ashton Provost is not above abusing women and children himself, he does not allow such behavior from his men under any circumstances unless directly ordered by a higher up. This means that while women and children may still suffer horrifically under his rule, he is severely against abusing civilians or slaves and actively works to make sure his soldiers don’t go around abusing any women or children, but isn’t able to save them all.

He knows they are his enemies, but he knows that civilians don’t deserve such abuse.

Despite his ruthlessness, he does believe that he is doing what is best for the commonfolk. He will defend his actions to the death. It may seem like madness to some, but the only madness Ashton believes in is weakness and mercy. He will use any means necessary to win this war and secure the future of his nation and himself.

Ashton is a male human who has short black hair cut high above his ears. His eyes are a deep shade of amber. He stands tall at 7 feet, and he wears heavy black armor.

Ashton carries a longsword that is strapped to his belt, along with various other supplies. Ashton knows how to fight and kill, and he is skilled at using the longsword.
