Krassius Pathagon
Amidst the vast, undulating dunes of the Hush, the story of Krassius Pathagon takes root in the sun-bathed town of Rune. Under her parents and the Vishkani monks' guidance, she was set on a path of discipline and self-discovery. The Malkari traditions, fully ingrained in her upbringing, led her to the Den Monastery at a young age, where she embraced the teachings of Bako with fervent devotion.
Krassius's journey at the monastery was one of solitary growth and introspection, leading to an awakening of an inner radiance upon reaching her Bala'neta. Her martial prowess, coupled with this newfound energy, drew the attention of the leaders in Corsenth, leading to her appointment as bodyguard and advisor to Emperor Kilrun Hubris, leader of the Esh Republic. In this role, she has balanced her duties with the emperor and her personal spiritual practices, a life that is a continuous reflection of Bako's teachings.
Away from her official responsibilities, Krassius indulges in the melodies of her guitar, fancies the idea of sailing, and regular practice and exploration of lucid dreaming. Her relationship with Emperor Hubris is a close, platonic bond. Their connection, coupled with her influential position, has made Krassius a figure of quiet authority and respect. Despite the rumors surrounding her and the emperor, Krassius remained focused and unswayed.
Krassius's demeanor among her peers and in council is one of composed confidence. Her approach to teaching and interaction is nurturing, devoid of condescension. She views her role as an opportunity to guide and uplift, her actions always in alignment with her ideals. Her future, a horizon filled with potential, beckons with promises of challenges and growth. Krassius aspires to continue serving her people, seeking opportunities to engage more directly in the protection of her nation.
