Aric of Halvon

The Red Raven, named for his famous tattered red cape and the ravens who feasted on his earliest victims, is a vigilante renowned throughout Galt for his high-profile heists. Some view him as nothing more than a rebel, while to many he is an egalitarian folk hero. Unbeknownst to nearly everyone, however, is that the Red Raven is Aric of Halvon, an outspoken citizen of Galt.

While engaged in his capers, Red Raven always dresses flamboyantly. The appearance of his signature tattered red cloak belies its magical nature. When not committing crimes, Aric is less dramatic and leads a more frugal life.

As a child, Arics parents were taken by the mysterious Gray Gardeners and executed under the final blade named Madame Margaery. The orphaned boy was raised at Sister Sarindas Home for Revolutionary Orphans and forced into work sewing clothes while bombarded with a succession of Galtan revolutionary propaganda.

However, he endeared himself to Thanarus, the leader of a group of bandits wronged by Galts Red Revolution. Thanarus mentored and trained Aric in both honorable behavior and combat until Thanaruss capture and subsequent execution by the same final blade in Isarn.

Aric recovered Thanaruss red cape from his discarded remains, then went on a murderous rampage against the Council of Skulls, the Revolutionary Council who ordered Thanaruss death. The tales of a red-cloaked killer leaving behind bodies to be picked over by ravens inspired his vigilante name: the Red Raven.
