Nemesis, Scion of Vigilantes
Nemesis is the Scion of Vigilantes. Named for the terror that his visage evoked amongst the criminal underclass even during his living days, Nemesis was a vengeance
As a child, Nemesis' parents were taken by the mysterious Diet of Ravens and executed under an executioner named Madame Vongaer. The orphaned boy was raised at Heaven's Smile Orphanage and forced into work sewing clothes. In his adolescences he endeared himself to the leader of a group of bandits who had been wronged by the manipulations of the Diety of Ravens. It was there that Nemesis was trained in both honorable behavior and combat until the bandits' leader was captured and subsequently executed by the same Madame Vongaer who had killed his parents.
Nemesis recovered his leader's crimson mask from his discarded remains, then proceeded to go on a murderous rampage against the corrupt members of the Diet of Ravens who had ordered the execution. The tales of a killer in crimson garb leaving behind bodies to be picked over by ravens inspired his vigilante epithet - the Blood Eagle.
Over the years he expanded his vengeful bloodshed to include not only the corrupt elite, but also the criminals of Moncacuse. He was captured and marked for execution no less than a dozen times, though always seemed to escape unscathed.
For nearly thirty years Nemesis wandered Aressea commiting daring, high-profile thefts against the wealthy that helped his image as a hero of the downtrodden common people, while simultaneously terrorizing the criminal syndicates that thrived in the underbellies of Aressea's cities.
Inevitably, Nemesis' crusade of vengeance came to an end. He was unmasked and executed before the Diet of Ravens in central Moncacuse bringing much relief to Aressea's crimal forces. Notably, his tale has continued to inspire a thriving subculture of vigilantism in the Jewel of Oolene and lands beyond.
