It was a foggy night only lit by a full moon. A convicted murderer by the name of Gerald Levi, who was sentenced to death, escaped the Prison of Kromm City. Little did he know, a deadly presence was lurking about in the shadows. A man with the intent to kill Gerald, for he knows he will be payed handsomely for his head. Gilfort Baxter, the feared assassin, is stalking him in the dead of night, using every inch of shadow to avoid the moonlight. He draws his weapons, a one handed sword and a poison coated dagger. He waits for the time to strike. As Gerald unsuspectingly passes him, Gilfort gets ready to attack. In one fluid motion, he dashes towards Gerald, plunges his dagger into his back, and disappears into the shadows, leaving the dagger so that the poison seeps into his bloodstream. Once Gerald draws his last breath, Gilfort takes his dagger back and swiftly heads home.
At home, Gilfort has a beautiful wife and kids. He descends from a bloodline of known killers in the city, so he is shunned by society, making it impossible to find real employment. As a result, he works as a hitman for a family friend. The head of Gerald earned him enough to bring home food, drink, and a little something for his children. He may seem like he has no feelings, but in reality, he loves his family and will stop at nothing to ensure their safety. Because of this, the king will not allow Gilfort's execution, but this does not mean he likes Gilfort in any way.
