Background:
It pains me to admit it, but they got the right person for entirely the wrong reason! Yes technically I was involved in a little sedition, but that’s small fry in comparison to what my family was actually up to... A sect of Asmodeus under their noses and the authorities had no idea, and still don’t, fools the lot of them.

The worst of it is we were sold out by that ugly runt Django Creed, our accountant's son, all because my Sister Ella laughed in his face when he asked for a date. Piqued, the spiteful cur ran to the Mitrans and ratted on us saying we were the ones behind all those pamphlets calling for King Markadian V’s downfall. A scandal ensued! A sensation! A well known lawyer and a teacher spreading sedition! A family of good repute ruined, if only they knew... Whatever, it’s done, long years of careful planning and training gone to waste in the blink of an eye.

The Mitrans are such boors, crowing over their ‘accomplishment’ at shutting us down. Funny how the so-called righteous happily take credit for Creed’s work, when they haven’t the wit nor the imagination to have taken us down themselves. They don’t understand me, they made me watch my parents take the drop, thinking it would break me. I have never felt stronger, or more infused with purpose. My parents made me proud, tight lipped and fearless to the last, they held up their end of the infernal bargain and now they have a position of honour in the hells.

The Mitrans say I’m due to share my parent’s fate the day after tomorrow. Perhaps, perhaps not, Lord Asmodeus put me in this backwater world for a purpose. Bourne and raised to be his instrument, I yearn to spread tyranny in his name. In the end all shall kneel!

Description and personality:
A little over 6 foot, Rayse has a chiseled physique that draws attention both male and female when he walks into the room. Always immaculately groomed and shaved, his dark hair is kept short military style without being too severe. If angered, his piercing dark blue eyes flash with an inner fire. When clad in armour he looks every bit the dashing knight. He could pass for a paladin, but Rayse is a wolf in sheep’s clothing with a honeyed tongue.

He was training among the Mitrans, however he wasn’t learning the lessons they thought they were teaching! He knows how to lie without trace, how to wheedle and manipulate and make almost anyone his friend. He learned patience and discipline, and a certain kind of honour but not that stuffy Mitrans would recognize it when he twists his sword in their guts!
