[QUOTE="emeraldbeacon, post: 8754451, member: 7032019"] Working specifically off of the canon timeline... at 28 years BC (Before Campaign), the old Order of the Aquiline Cross was basically dead and gone, or at best, deep in hiding. The new Order of the Aquiline Cross didn't begin forming until about 10 years BC. Rhuarc has some curious motivations, having been molded into an assassin, without much of a personal rudder of his own (save destroying the order of knights that killed his father)... [B]Here's a revised concept: [/B]Rhuarc, in the span between his revenge upon his mother (and the demon that possessed her) and the assignment to kill Coaltongue, busied himself with small "wet works" tasks that paid well, and helped the myriad displaced Taranesti people of the world. He might have been tasked with scouting out a "civilian" caravan travelling from Ragos towards Gatepass, and making sure they weren't a threat. What he didn't expect was for Ragesian troops to attack that caravan, killing some, and escorting others away. Finding a scared young boy in the aftermath, he shepherded him to Gate Pass and left him in the care of those who would watch over him, hoping that this child wouldn't suffer his own fate. He continued to look in on the boy, like a sort of Dark Ben Kenobi, until eventually the kid convinced Rhuarc to train him in his own unique fighting style. Rhuarc complied, but always feared the boy would want to return to the hated Ragesia to seek his true family... and when the questions began, Rhuarc cut the kid off and vanished. [/QUOTE]
