Biography
In the waste of a barbarian battlefield, Isinu rose from atop a mass funeral pyre. The multi-racial force of savages present acknowledged him as their leader and deified him in their own mythos. They forged the armor of the dead onto his exposed body, thick enough so no blade could penetrate it and dense enough to withstand the strongest of blows. He has lived this entire life in this suit since, having modifications done directly upon his form and even throwing his entire self in the forge when necessary.
Isinu had realized his mission to promote order upon his incarnation. His early ventures consisted mostly of guerrilla-style attacks on lands he believed incompetent and undeservingly powerful. His ever-changing band of what were essentially mercenaries were drawn from fringe cultures and outlying communities. Upon his enemies, he trimmed borders, plundered treasuries, and emboldened the disenfranchised to rise up against their authorities.
As Isinu saw the growth of his allies in the political and civil realm, he acknowledged the necessity of diplomacy when carrying out his mission. Over the course of countless dealings, he became proficient in statecraft and trade. Although he rejected formal training in favor of experiential learning, it only made Isinu more popular among his intended audience who approvingly viewed him as a populist and revolutionary.
With his rising influence among the general public, Isinu saw his following show more loyalty to his ideology than their lords who were supposed to embody them. Seeing none of his once-allies as fit to approach any form of absolute rule, Isinu sought to Balkanize the land with the intention of keeping the possessions of power in delicate uncertainty. He played these leaders against one-another, and was often known to rally his own loyalists and engage in personal military and political campaigns in the midst of these conflicts.
Now, with Lancelot's invitation, Isinu humbles himself before the new dark lord. He believes Lancelot to be a competent sovereign and places favor in his rule. In what could be considered evil, Isinu sees the tools for order and control and potential for worldly balance, even if it defies traditional moral standards.
