Over the years, under the king's tutelage, the battlefield vulture grew to become a Saint of the Sword whose name resounded in all the realms.

For this great favor, Kassian devoted his life towards serving the royal bloodline of House Leonia and considered their life of greater value than anything - even his own. Thus, when the Lionhart ordered the suicidal march into the heart of the underworld, Kassian wordlessly matched his steps with his liege's as they walked into the maw of despair.

Against all odds, they had succeeded in getting the objective of thier campaign but had suffered terrible losses. Kassian's soul had been heavily damaged when he defended his liege from an attack using his own body as a shield which resulted in him being cripple and his soul regressing in rank.

Yet, misfortune seemed to continuously hound them since not long after they returned from their campaign, riots and uprisings began appearing all over the kingdom. With the king mortally wounded and the palace blocked off from all entry after the prince had his incident, it fell to him to try and keep Leonia from falling apart under its own weight. Yet, even as the darkness subtly corrupted his soul over the decades, he never wavered from his duty and kept a silent vigil over the royal palace in hope that one day he bloodline of House Leonia would again exit from its gates and usher them into prosperity again.
