History- Guardan being the son of king and the 5th of Ten brothers and sisters was born into the game of politics, but it taught him to think quick and smart because an assassin could be right around the corner and it was like that for sixty years for him, until his father died then it got worse the younger siblings trying to arrange his death and himself trying to arrange his older siblings deaths.
A year later Guardan stood up to his older brother who was the king challenging him to a duel, his brother not wanting to be seen as a coward accepted and that's where he made his mistake Guardan had been training and easily slew his brother with his own hands and installed the next brother on the throne using him as a puppet, but this didn't last long until he was ousted and declared a treasonous traitor and forced to join the slayers legion a legion of the Dwarven military where everyone in it is a traitor and sent to their deaths, the slayer group he was attached to specialized in hunting elves using tactics similar to them, so he was trained in hit and run warfare as well as ambushing tactics, Guardan didn't kill many elves before getting grievously wounded during a battle with them, but that gave Guardan an excuse to abandon the slayers and pursue his own goals.
In the night he abandoned his post and fled the field traveling on the back of a ram but he didn't make it very far before being intercepted by humans who took him prisoner and held him for a year during that time the kingdom had gone to war against a neighboring one and in desperate need of soldiers they went into the penal system for recruitment and cheap cannon fodder Guardan was chosen and was forced to sign a contract for 30 years of fighting for freedom Guardan not wanting to be jailed anymore agreed and took the contract and got thrown in with a penal regiment.
Guardan's first taste in the war was the burning of a farm his regiment had orders to damage the infrastructure of the enemy by taking out it's resources, the regiment marched up on the farm just as the farmer came out of his house and was about to call for someone but saw the troops and stopped just short of calling out before he reached for a woodcutting ax to try to combat the soldiers Guardan took the honor of killing the man slapping aside the man's ax with one hatchet and driving the other through the artery in his shoulder killing him almost instantly, with the farmer out of the way Guardan proceeded inside to find the farmer's wife staring him in the eyes with a look of defiance in her eyes, and to this day that look is still burned in Guardan's mind, but then at that time he didn't care as he brought his hatchet down on her killing her the order came down to sack the house and after looting to burn it all to the ground after the farmer's had been taken care of, so Guardan went through the house taking it all in and found two rooms each had children's beds in them and toys they had children, that's who the farmer was about to call Guardan turned and walked out of the room feeling disgusted and awful with himself and vowed to flee the military once more when the farm burned Guardan's hope burned with it.
It wasn't until shortly after Guardan turned 94 that he escaped his regiment with a horse he stole from an officer heading home was a bittersweet moment for him in his heart he was happy but also in his heart he had left happiness behind in that burned farm, but when he crossed the border he was hailed as a hero, for people had thought he had been captured by the elves a long long time ago and Guardan didn't have the heart to tell them the truth but the king was happy to see him and granted him the largest estate he could joining in with the people revering him as a hero, but in reality Guardan knew he wasn't happy to see him but at least he would get to rest and enjoy some peace.
Ten years later shortly after the war had broken out between the dwarves and yet another rival kingdom and shortly after Guardan's 104th birthday, they had gotten news that the rival king had died and his youngest daughter was taking his place Guardan's brother seeing an opportunity came to him and forced him to become an ambassador to represent the dwarves and speak with the new queen about a peaceful end to this war it wasn't even a hour later that Guardan left on the back of his ram to head for the kingdom and hopefully end all of this violence.
