Background:

Carl Lucian started as a good son of the Coalition. As a young man, he proudly watched his father, a Captain in the Coalition army, lead his death's head transport into battle in video footage his father would bring home. The Siege of Tolkeen changed everything. Carl was 16 when the siege started, and it would be just 2 months after Emperor Prosek's announcement of war against the demon worshippers that would lead to his father's last mission. Carl never got to see the footage of that mission, but when an officer appeared at his door, he knew his father was dead. Carl dropped out of Pre-college courses, lied about his age, and enlisted into the Coalition Army. During basic training, he was flagged and sent to scout training, where his aptitude with marksmanship was honed. After 6 months of intensive training, he was sent into the field to bolster a scout unit that had been all but wiped out by a cabal of sorcerers from the Federation of Magic.

It was during his second sortie that he and his unit came across the sorcerers who had killed their fellow soldiers. After a quick planning session, they attacked. That was when Carl realized that they were just children, around his actual age. He hesitated to shoot a girl in the head, and it doomed all of his unit to being flung through a rift that she opened behind them. A patroitic young man went into the rift, along with 6 scouts. Carl was the only one to return, and although he had only gone through the portal a few moments before, when Carl came out he was in his mid 30s and a battle tested veteran, wearing weapons and armor that appeared to be almost 2 decades old.

While Carl refuses to talk about the events that ocurred in the place beyond the rift, his outlook was changed forever. He explained to the children that they needed to stop fighting in the war, and his words managed to sway them. He then told them that there was a place where they could find refuge, should they want it. While none of them took him up on his offer, refugees that he encountered in the middle of the warzone did. He lead them unerringly towards Castle Refuge. How he knew it's location, he would not say.

Carl spent the rest of the war guiding refugees to Castle Refuge, staunchly refusing to aid either side, other than to offer them the chance to leave the war and do something better. Sadly, Rifts Earth being what it is, no one took him up on his offer.

When The Tomorrow Legion was created, Carl was one of the first to sign up.
