Lu was born into a long standing clan of demi dragons, once sworn protectors of the region, now fallen into obscurity by the powers that be in the throne. Despite their pride, they followed without any objections of the crown because of the close ties the old clan leader Iramur Elam Dowle shared with the first king.
Lu himself grew up in a normal, if secluded, way looking from afar at the different regions around their clan settlement with child-like wonder. But like everyone in the clan he soon was picked to become one of the royal family’s henchmen.
His child-like innocence remained, though he developed a sharp wit and skills that made great contrast. He quickly proved to be very loyal, and quite a natural with a revolver on top of his draconian strength and heritage.
Before long he was set being deployed, tasked with a number of assignments alongside another demi dragon that grew to be his closest partner in the field, a younger dragon girl named Giret who managed to not only keep up but to outshine Lu himself on a couple of occasions, despite Lu’s prideful nature, the both of them hit it off and became more than just partners.
This would change later as they received their new orders with dread for the first time. The first order that involved killing their target should certain conditions be met, with heavy hearts, they set out to do the crown’s bidding.
Their target turned out to be the scion of a sorcerer who had become a thorn on the kingdom’s side. The radical way of thinking the man professed seemed to destabilize the country bit by bit. They infiltrated the man’s household, slowly gaining the sorcerer’s thrust and without realizing, the affection of the child. A rift started to appear between Giret, who wanted to drop the mission, and Sommarkatze, who couldn’t ever think of betraying the crown.
As they feared, the sorcerer overstepped the invisible boundary that had been set, and shortly thereafter arrived the confirmation of their orders: The child needed to die…
The mission ended in success, though at a cost only Lu couldn’t withstand without pain. Giret tried to save the kid, attacking Sommarkatze as he was readying himself to perform the deed. Wounded as he was, he still delivered a lethal wound on the child before Giret could retrieve him and run away with him.
He returned, never to hear any more of both Giret and the troublesome mage. His services were required soon once again, however, and he did not protest due to his strong loyalty. Assigned to keep a close eye on a young child, out of the interest of the king’s children.
He only hopes there’s no deed that needs to be performed in the crown’s stead.
