Once, there was a Soldier. He was a very strong man. He also knew his job...
Years ago, he was blessed with immorality. There was only one 'if' in this immorality... He had to protect people of Stone City, that to these days exist by the Grand Sea. His contract was meant to give him immorality, but he was supposed to protect people of his city for whole eternity.
Once, the Stone City got attacked by barbarians. Of course, they had their own land, but city, that he protected was very attractive for them. There is nothing surprising in this situation, because the Stone City was very well developed. Also, lots of gold was stored in safes.
The thing, that barbarians didn't know was that, the Soldier carried a mighty sword. He was a master in his field. There was no other man who could use a sword as he could. Many tried, but no one could compete with him.
When he chased enemy away, he decided to stop this brutal era with tearing barbarian's city down...
After all of that, the era of peace began. But there never was something like peace in this world. In one or other way, people of Stone City got hurt. As he felt effects of inefficiency, he started protecting deals and other kind of contracts that people in the city were doing.
He was meant to stay in shadow, but help in one or other way. That's what he was doing...
Every single time someone broke a contract, he appeared and taught them a lesson, that they've never forgotten. Usually, it was some kind of punishment like 'you can't lie anymore' or 'you can't make a contract when you know, that you won't be able to deal with your part of it'.
But for those, who didn't learn a lesson... Well... They disappeared. witnesses says, that the people just disappeared on their eyes with a painful scream...
