King of War

They called him the King of War, the First Son, or, as people whispered, the Unknown Son.
Only the other kings and a handful of those closest to him truly knew the man behind the name. Legends said he was old, short, ugly, and mad, a man who had lost his mind entirely. They claimed that after the last war, he kept killing himself out of boredom, only to be brought back by the King of Death, out of some cruel pity.
Some said he had once been the greatest fighter the world had ever known, the smartest man alive, a man who loved freedom only for himself and no one else, endlessly thirsty for power. Stories told one version, whispers another, but none could capture the truth.
The truth was darker, stranger, and lonelier than anyone imagined. No one really knew what lay behind the myths, the name, the fear.
The King of War remained a shadow alive in the minds of all who dared speak it.
