About
With the whisper of ancient blades and a heart fueled by honor, Lars Christensen embodies the spirit of a loyal guardian.

Each stride echoes a promise to the innocents, as the scars on his hands tell a tale of battles fought and wisdom earned.
Backstory
Three copper coins fell from a dying merchant's hand—the exact price Lars Christensen's mentor Kazuo had paid for his freedom from a Danish slave ship decades earlier. The Nordic boy had been just another piece of cargo until the wandering samurai recognized something extraordinary: a child who could sense the emotional weight of violence before it struck, feeling every victim's pain as his own. Kazuo trained Lars to weaponize this cursed empathy, teaching him that true strength came from transforming shared suffering into protective fury. When assassins finally claimed his mentor's life, Lars discovered the wooden charm Kazuo left behind contained not just a blessing, but a map to the hidden network of those who trafficked in human misery. Now he hunts in shadow and strikes with steel, his unusual gift allowing him to distinguish between the genuinely innocent and those who merely wear virtue as a mask.
