[Flashback] [Isaac Crawford] [1]

Born into the high nobility, Isaac was the son of the late Secretary of the Empire of Izhantra—a man who had once stood at the heart of the imperial court. His mother, too, hailed from an esteemed noble bloodline, and together, they wielded significant influence, earning the deep trust of the former Emperor.

But trust and power had never been enough to shield them from fate.

During an assassination attempt orchestrated by the Rebels of Charentra, Isaac's parents fought valiantly, standing their ground until the very end. They died in service to the Empire, their lives extinguished alongside the Emperor they had sworn to protect.

In the wake of that tragedy, the heir to the throne ascended as the new Emperor. Though older than Isaac, he saw something in the young boy—something that forged an unspoken bond between them, built on shared grief, mutual ambition, and a true sense of duty.
