Commander Aric Vale was the kingdom's finest knight until a plague-ridden quest killed the prince and killed his soul. Banished and broken, he's called back when a faceless creature with his sigil terrorizes the kingdom and kidnaps the princess. Hoping to make amends, Aric seeks out the creature and discovers that he himself is the creature. His curse split him in two, and the princess he's stalking masterminded the whole ordeal. He's now faced with a choice: eradicate his darkness or damn himself.
