History:

Kriss was born to a former knight turned farmer and a simple barmaid. After a few years, the farmer helped defeat a giant menacing the local village, achieving fame to the family and was offered a castle. Kriss enlisted in the knight hood, pledging his birthright to serve the knight hood...that was when he was 18...5 years later

a year into his service, war broke out between the knighthood and several warlords that banded together in order to conquer the land. After the war, Kriss was exposed to the corruption and cause of the war. It turns out the knighthood had provoked the attack that killed thousands of innocent lives. He descided to leave the knighthood for good.

Seeing the corruption found in the knightly order, Kriss turned over his birthright vowing to never return to the knighthood. Kriss traveled to the east, receiveing special single blade training from a mysterious order of desert knights. This swordsman style allows for swift well placed strikes against an opponent, as well as training in hand crossbows, these crossbows possess the power to pierce most armors, but not all. A snake poison is applied to each tip before being fired(he does contain antidotes, u knever know! ) to ensure a kill no matter where the strike.

during the years between this and his return to the west, Kriss banded with a band of thieves bent on aiding nearby villages by raiding the local warlord's bases and camps. During this time, Kriss learned the way of a thief and became rather clever. The warlord caught the band of thieves off guard, slaying a majority of its members. The remaining few(including Kriss) struck back and dethroned the warlord, returning control of the villages to themselves, the band carried Kriss back to one of the villages, he was injured from several blows. During his recovery, he heard of a rebellion in the west, he made plans...

Returning to the west, Ren discovered the knights, just like evil, had turned upon itself and split up into warlord states all over the country. Evil knights sack poor peasant villages and murder for fun. Kriss vowed to balance the evil with good.
