Personal history
Prince Sieghardt, a tyrant of immense power and cruelty, ruled over The Empire of Man with an iron fist. As an immortal being, his subjects, mere Mortals, lived in fear of his wrath, knowing that any challenge to his authority would result in certain death. However, amidst his reign of terror, there existed a glimmer of hope in the form of the legendary hammer Ghal Maraz, a relic of immense power wielded by his father, Sieghardt the God-Emperor. This weapon held the potential to challenge Prince Sieghardt's dominance, yet he guarded it with unwavering vigilance, fully aware of its potency against him.
In a bid to free themselves from Prince Sieghardt's oppressive rule, Klaus, along with other courageous souls, devised a daring plan. Exploiting the tyrant's insatiable lust and ego, they spread rumors of a beautiful elven traveler, enticing Prince Sieghardt's desire to conquer yet another race. With the promise of fulfilling his darkest desires, they lured him into the depths of a magical forest, known for its deceptive illusions.
Prince Sieghardt, wielding Ghal Maraz with arrogance and pride, eagerly pursued the elusive elven maiden, oblivious to the treachery that awaited him. As he ventured deeper into the forest, he found himself ambushed by a horde of monstrous creatures—illusions crafted by the forest. Engulfed in a frenzied battle, Prince Sieghardt fought with savage intensity, unaware that amidst the chaos, Ghal Maraz had slipped from his grasp.
When the tumult subsided, Prince Sieghardt found himself bereft of his prized weapon, his once invincible aura shattered by the cunning of his adversaries. Disoriented and defeated, he returned empty-handed, only to face the consequences of his folly. The loss of Ghal Maraz proved to be his undoing, marking the beginning of his downfall and the eventual rise of Klaus as the savior of the empire.
