Laudius Keel
Laudius Keel (a.k.a. Red)
Laudius Keel or "Red" as most people know him as is the charming bastard man you really want to have on your team, just because he can talk himself out of every situation - or at lest he thinks he can. Laudius does prefer smiles and conversation over violence, but will not hold back if anyone is threatening his plans (or his group). With more money than he could ever need to his name, he is not doing any of this because of a need, it is more a want. A want to do something other than the usual. A want to experience the highest highs and the lowest lows.

Personal history
He was born in Icolas , the second biggest city in Iruvia. The southern country, rich and powerful with deserts as far as the eye can see. A diverse land with several cultures and people. In this world Laudius was born into the Keel house, a rich noblehouse working with trading and mining of valuable rocks and gems. After his great-great grandmother discovered a diamond-oare in the Shimmering Hills the family grew rich and powerful, soon being one of the most influenceable families in Iruvia.
When Laudius was born he didn’t really have a path outlined. As the fourth child in a family of eight, with four older siblings and three younger. The boy neither had the heir to the business or the lands, so he was free to do whatever he wanted. After a random pick from an application sheet he ended up at Icoras college of justice, studying the laws of the country. Soon after he graduated he was hired of a corrupted businessman not wanting a sentence for slavetrading outside the regulations. Laudius not really interested in the moral side of his profession did not have anything against protecting this «evil» man. This became his first victory in an endless line of victories for the young advocate. He soon established his own practice «Keel Trustworthy» He became known as «the devils man» and earned himself a good amount of coin because of it. With loose morals and a liking for the finer things he lived a kings life in his birth city.
But then one day something life-changing happened. The man who hadn’t lost a case since he graduated met a terrible loss in one of the most simple and easiest cases he had been against. Laudius knew what had happened, he had lost against corruption, someone had taken his own ways and used them against himself. There was only one thing he could do after this tragic loss; he gave up. He gathered his stuff, packed his bags and left the city before the victors had left the courtroom. He did not care about all the people begging him to stay, all the cases he was asked to take or all the people pleading for his help. He just left.
His family not really caring what he did or where he was, as long as he didn’t make a fuss, sent an obscure amount of money with him and told him «good luck, write us a letter sometime». And off he went. Headed to see if there was any good work to find in the most corrupted city of the world, or maybe he could simply conquer the city itself? Time would show.
In Doskvol he met Nyryx, a girl working for the Matron at The Red Lamp. A young woman who somehow changed from being his usual girl to being his friend. And after only a few months he never enjoyed her in other ways than conversation, not wanting to spoil his new informant. He also met one of the most interesting people he had ever known when he came to Doskvol, Weaver. A man with a purpose and goal. Why not just follow his goals instead of pretending to be interested in something else?
As an advocate he did not really care about who he fought against, it could be whoever. But faith made it so that he sent the same man: Vond Keen (known as Harker) to prison several times. Which ended in Harker resenting Laudius and simply following him when he left to Doskvol.
