Theo Phil Grayum, the Knight of Loyalty, once served as First Knight to the Republic of Gray a century before the central timeline. Renowned for his unwavering devotion to Princess Jane Gray and his mastery of the formidable weapon Lightning Legios, he faced his defining trial during the Demon Army’s assault. Commanded by Jane to secure the breached Mountain Fortress, Theo contained the chaos there while high-ranking demons targeted the undefended palace, slaughtering its defenders. Though gravely wounded, he raced back to confront the invaders but arrived too late to halt the carnage.

Amid the ruins, Theo discovered Jane’s corpse, his despair summoning a cryptic entity that promised her eternal protection in exchange for his endless slumber—a pact binding him to a legacy of fractured duty and unyielding love. His past further intertwines with the exiled dark wizard Malduk, once a servant of Gray. After Malduk resurrected the king as an undead abomination, Theo cast him out, only to see him return allied with demonic forces, hastening the kingdom’s ruin.

Theo’s 123-year saga epitomizes knightly valor shadowed by tragedy: his choices—exiling Malduk, prioritizing duty over the palace’s defense, accepting the entity’s bargain—ripple across generations, etching a tale of sacrifice, rivalry, and loyalty’s costly weight. His birthdate, April 15th, remains a quiet marker of a life steeped in both legend and sorrow.
