The Crimson Baron, Henry Smith

 The Crimson Baron, Henry Smith 

Henry Smith is the heir of a wealthy family of aristocrats,and has always been confident about his future. Sometime in his teenage years, a swarm of large mutated, swollen, and flesh-eating insects attacked the town his family managed. The insects were ferocious, poisoning the villagers and his family rather than consuming them immediately. But the poison wasn't just any poison that kills people, rather they inflicted as much pain on them as possible by gradually taking off the limbs of the people and eating the rest whole. Day after day, the routine and suffering continues. Henry is one of the few lucky or unlucky survivors, as the last humans are eaten Henry feels nothing but pain and hatred towards the insect and curses the one who planned this all. Henry was the last one left and was being eaten alive. Agony, pain, and suffering filled his mind. Those last moments were so cruel to even the standards of torture itself, but was this really his last few moments? Everything around him heated up strongly, emitting high radiation, he died. When he awoke, he saw nothing but ash and charred land around him. In the distance hovered a humanoid being enveloped in flame, radiating tremendous omnipotence. It flew towards Henry. Henry asked if this was the afterlife? The divine being said no. That's interesting... said the Fiery God. "What is?" Henry asked. The Fire God replied "You have survived my presence... No... You didn't survive, in fact you died before it, but you absorbed it, you must be worthy...". Henry was confused, but even at this point he still harboured some lingering hatred and wanted revenge for what the insects had done. He thought for a while. Soon asking if the god of fire saved him from death or not. The god of fire introduced himself and encouraged vengeance and brutality to inflict the same pain and suffering on the people who commanded the enormous insects during the raid. Henry seized the opportunity and accepted this new and fresh start. The God of Fire named him the Crimson Baron of the 12 Servants of Fire. Now he roams the world of Rathnir with his weapon called "Crimson Flames" burning anyone to a crips he deems untrustworthy.
