Loris Raknian

Appearance

Loris Raknian is a burly man in his early fifties, with powerful sinewy muscles earned through years in the arena. His heavy lantern jaw gives him a commanding presence, and a scar runs from his hairline above his left brow, across his left eye and cheek, to his jawline. Though the scar hints at past battles, Raknian carries himself with pride, showing no sign of being burdened by his injuries.

Personality

Raknian is known throughout Tymon as a confident and determined leader, admired for his bravery and unshakeable will. His years in the arena shaped him into a man with a sharp mind and a knack for strategy. He is pragmatic, always focused on achieving his goals, and ensures that his actions are seen as law-abiding in the eyes of the public. His reputation as a respectable businessman has made him a trusted figure in Tymon, though some say his ambition leaves little room for sentimentality.

Relationships

Raknian once shared a passionate relationship with Lahaka, a famed entertainer. They were together for two years, during which Raknian found solace in her company. However, their relationship ended when Lahaka became infatuated with Vixus, a rising star among the gladiators. Despite his feelings for her, Raknian accepted her departure, though it left a deep mark on him. Since then, Raknian has chosen to keep his personal life private, devoting his energy to the Champion’s Games and the success of the arena.

History

Twelve years ago, Loris Raknian retired from his career as one of the most celebrated gladiators in the Arena of Aroden in Tymon. His retirement marked the end of a brilliant career, during which he gained fame and fortune by winning countless battles. Following his departure from the arena, Raknian invested in the city’s development, using his influence to gain control of the arena and manage rising gladiators. His business acumen quickly made him one of the most successful figures in the region.
Raknian’s proudest achievement is the Champion’s Games, a yearly event that draws fighters and spectators from across the River Kingdoms. Now celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Games, Raknian has promised that this year’s event will be the grandest yet, drawing the attention of kings and gods alike. He has earned the love of Tymon’s citizens for both his contributions to the city's economy and his ability to entertain.
Although his success is unquestioned, Raknian remains deeply reflective about the passage of time. He often speaks wistfully about his days in the arena and admits that adjusting to life outside the ring has been challenging. Some say his occasional melancholy is rooted in his struggle to adapt to aging, but Raknian dismisses these concerns with good humor. Publicly, he encourages younger gladiators to seize their moments of glory, though his eyes seem to linger a little longer on the arena floor as each year's games come to a close.
