Background:
Elrox was born into the route of a Hellknight: his father, a wealthy noble, demanded that his second son join the cause in order to increase his own fame. Elrox complied, knowing his father would only beat him if he did not. While the training was harsh, and the instructors were far more severe, Elrox thought of little else than avoiding his punishments from his father. For while he could slack off his work for a day or two, his family he could never avoid.
Elrox worshipped Asmodeus as his father did - devoutly, but only born through fear rather than praise. His superiors smiled upon him as he did, and deciding him a model armiger, put him in charge of punishment for further trainees. Such a role was revoked when it was found that most of the trainees had either died from exhaustion or fell into nihilistic despair, covered in wounds from whips, blades, and blunt objects. When questioned as to why he had followed through with his actions, Elrox replied that the student’s punishment was under his jurisdiction, and as there was no further instructions, he believed he was to do anything within his power to “cull the strong from the weak, through pain strengthen their bonds to servitude.”
While many of the families of the trainees called for the execution, or at least removal, of Elrox, there was little argument among the Hellknight leaders that such ruthlessness could be used to greater ends. It was concluded that Elrox was perfectly following of orders, and only required direction in his cruelty. Proposing a reassignment to the Navy, Elrox was pushed out of the public mind. Seeing The Penitence and its crew to be similar members of faith, or at least aspires to the Godclaw, made a formal letter of request to be upon the ship.
Appearance and Personality:
Elrox usually keeps his face hidden behind a helmet, but in moments of downtime reveals himself to be a pale-skinned, well-shaved man with black hair. He bears red robes with the symbol of Asmodeus stitched into it, both as a symbol of his faith and as a mundane intimidation tactic.
Elrox is a humorless man that prefers not to mince words. To him, talking is not suggestions, but orders, that must be carried out immediately when coming from a superior. Elrox believes people to be inherently cruel, lazy, and greedy, and without the threat of punishment to sway them, they would certainly succumb to their desires. Thus Elrox prefers to place permanent wounds upon his victims, as an incessant reminder of their place below him. Elrox has no thirst for a higher status or rank, content between his rule over others and the simplicity of following orders. In combat, he is quick to belittle his opponents, pointing out their futility with every blow.
