THE BIRTH OF A HERO

During a harsh winter night in 1887 as man named Brandin Razak discover a young baby on the streets of London, not more than a few months old Brandin was amazed that the child had not frozen to death in the cold snow. Always longing for a child he and his wife Yvonne adopted the boy and named him Quentin. Quentin’s early life is mostly unknown, it is widely claimed that Brandin made no secret of the fact that he was not his real father, the dissimilarities between the two were clearly obvious, while Brandin himself was dark haired and 5 foot 8, Quen was blond and 6 foot 5. It is thought that in his mid teens Quentin tried to find his birth parents and discover his real name, he failed and instead decided to follow in his adopted Father’s footsteps by joining the military with his best friend Malakai Kroenen, the two had become close friends at an early age and it seemed they complimented one another exactly. Malakai however was deep into the occult and just prior to 1914 he left the service to hunt for the Dread Demogorgon, a God so terrible it was deemed unlawful to know it even existed.

In the outbreak of World War One Quentin volunteered for the test trails of the English super soldier project. For some unknown reason he was the only one of the 23 people to volunteer to survive the testing. Razak gained monumental strength and endurance as well as keen senses. During the War Quentin fought on the front line and was actively making a difference. However due to the lack of funding and the high cost of lives the project was shut down. Some believed that playing God was not for mankind and it seemed that those who fought for the project to be shelved were right. Towards the end of World War One the very project that had gifted Razak with his powers soon began to slowly kill him. In a hope to find out what was happening to him Quentin’s old friend Malakai Kroenen returned. With Kroenen’s help they managed to persuade the Army to revaluate the Super Soldier Project. It was discovered that Razak’s body was starting to reject the changes affectively degenerating itself. Malakai refused to believe that there was nothing anyone could do and he revealed to Quentin that he had located the mystic prison of the Demogorgon.

With little to lose the two set off to a frozen island in the Arctic circle, there they uncovered the Dread God’s tomb. The Demogorgon surprisingly agreed to aid them and granted Quentin eternal youth and the ability to fly in order to counteract the damage done to his body. The Demogorgon however had betrayed them. The God had been imprisoned eons ago and was bound never to leave, when Razak and Kroenen had entered they had upset the balance and effectively become a part of the prison itself. The Demogorgon possessed Quentin, using him as a mobile prison as such and attempted to escape. Malakai despite his best efforts was slain trying to stop the God leaving. However the psychic back lash at having made Razak kill his best friend expelled the Demogorgon from it’s host’s body. Using his new powers Razak was able to destroy the wards and seal the God back in it’s prison.

THE RETURN OF THE WHITE KNIGHT

Following the death of Malakai, Razak went into hiding. With the pain and the guilt slowly eating him away Quentin drove himself into deep isolation, what happened to him during these dark years none are sure however it wasn’t until November 1931 that a mysterious stranger sort him out. Identifying herself simply as Niniane the traveller claimed that Quentin had been misguided and that he had strayed from the path that fate had set him. Not only had he lost sight what he was but also who is was. Niniane spoke of an age of heroes and that that should Razak wish to discover who he really was then he must travel to Glastonbury, Cornwall and perhaps there he might find the answers he so deeply craved.

Razak soon becomes embroiled in the quest to recover the fabled sword Arondight, the twin blade of the legendary Excalibur. Instructed by Niniane he enters the ruins upon Glastonbury hill and descends into the lake concealed deep within. The lake acting as gateway to the fabled island of Avalon the source where all magic in the material realm is drawn from. Evil however had recently returned, dressed in a suit of fine white armour Razak fights his way though the haunted cemetery of Canaan, Arondight lay at the centre planted hilt first in an alter of black stone. His objective is barred by a hulking demonic armoured warrior… The Copper Knight. The two clash, despite his enhanced powers the demon is still stronger, he refers to Razak as The White Knight and that his return was ill advised. With his armour smashed open the Copper Knight plunges it’s demonic sword deep into Quen’s gut, this however is not the end. With a twist of his torso Razak disarms his diabolical opponent, reaching out he rips Arondight from the alter and slams the blade down cleaving the Copper Knight from shoulder to pelvis. Both collapse one dead and the other overcome by his injuries.

Razak awakens in the care of the local townspeople, when he is fit to walk again they lead the White Knight back to the cemetery, where he finds a metal slab stating that only one knight can lift the slab and that this knight's name is written beneath the slab. Due to his enhanced strength Razak is able to lift it and discovers that his name is, in fact, Lance Du Lac. Niniane appears behind him and states that Razak is the reincarnation of the greatest Knight to ever have lived…. Lancelot the White Knight.
