WARNING! |
The Prosecutor (검방전사), also known by his real name Saulcai, is a top tier member of the Hero Clan and a member of their Special Forces the most powerful elites gathered for their combatant prowess and the strongest hero in Cloud Garden for District 16. He is also the mentor of The Defender, a prominent hero for the clan and the ex-boyfriend of Rebecca Bernstein, also known as Highnoon. He is currently imprisoned in New Nera after being used as a human weapon by the Puppeteer during the Invasion of Castle Gray.
Aside from his status of a famous hero, Prosecutor is one of the greatest warriors of his homeland Avaarin, the warrior nation and the former student of Previous Knight Commander of Avaarin, their homeland's most powerful swordsman and a member of the Four Swordsmen, the greatest sword wielders in the world.
The Prosecutor was introduced in the Hero Candidate Arc as the second head examiner of the Hero Trials and a hero of Cloud Garden. Later, he would be one of the central characters of The Torch Arc where his assigned group of Heroes were placed in charge of the transportation of The Torch and fought against highly dangerous Villains seeking it. However, he was captured by the Nameless and given to the Puppeteer to be used as a barging chip.
Appearance[]
Prosecutor is a heavily muscular man with towering height and grayish brown colored hair with brown skin and eyes that glow red underneath his helmet. His facial features are completely unknown. His hero costume seems to be based on the concept of the Spartans from Frank Miller's 300 or a knight (if so a weird one), even if he doesn't use a Greek helmet, but a European knight's one.
He wears metal greaves and sabatons that cover his entire legs up to his knees and wears a metal thong with nothing else. However, in his youth, he wore medieval looking clothing but appeared to cease wearing clothes as he got older.
He wears the necklace of the Answerer and carried The Answerer, special Shards into battle as the sword and shield.
Personality[]
Prosecutor's personality seems to be one part troll, two parts dutiful knight. Seeing as he told a masked Hero Killer about Golden Arrow's Gift for no particular reason other than it was funny yet he also had a blood red glow of anticipation as he looked forward to fighting her and once made fun of Defender's strange laugh only to laugh the same later on.
Aside from that, Saulcai is an eccentric but polite man, which is a direct contrast to his origins from a fierce warrior nation. He is a man with strong convictions that holds both chivalry and duty to the highest stranded believing that in order to be a hero one has to be unwavering towards justice, never breaking, never faltering, always protecting the weak and the civilians living up to his own values and code.
As the Second Head Tester during the Hero Trails, he wouldn't allow any weak-minded individuals or those only interested in power, money, or influence to pass and become heroes. These views stem from an intense sense of self-loathing and hatred he had for himself and for the world when he was younger.
But Prosecutor is a very warm and friendly man who often enjoys playing to the tone of Highnoon's antics while spending time with her and is extremely kind to his student The Defender who he often teases.
After his release from Puppeteer's control, the prosecutor punished himself heavily for being used to kill innocent people and role in Azure Dragon's death.
When using his Gift, Blade of Ire - Avaarian Wrath, Saulcai becomes a mindless berserker blinded by a bloodthirsty rage that has little regard in protecting himself while laughing maniacally.
History[]
Saulcai was born in the nation and settlement of powerful warriors of Avaarin during the era of Nera. Like all Avaarinian citizens, he was raised to be a warrior but was found to be far more talented in combat than his other peers early in his childhood.
At one point, he came under the tutelage of The Knight Commander of Avaarin, a member of the Four Swordsmen and one of the strongest warriors in their homeland. Saulcai was fostered into a powerful warrior by the Knight Commander who taught him about swordsmanship and combat all throughout his childhood.
After years of training, Saulcai was given his Avaarinian helmet by his mentor on the day of becoming an adult and took the oath to never take it off unless it was in front of his lover. However, while celebrated for his prowess as an incredibly powerful warrior, Saulcai never wanted to become a one to begin with, unlike his countrymen and kin.
He hated Avaarin's brutal life and the shouts of joy from his people as they celebrated his victories in taking an opponent's life in their gladiatorial tournaments, but Saulcai continued to swing his blade regardless to convince himself that the people he held dear would perish if he ever gave up. [1] He would also become known as "Saulcai The Berserker" during this period.
However, life in Avaarin was bearable as Saulcai formed a close friendship with the Bernsteins, two twin orphan Gift users, becoming especially close with Rebecca with the two of them eventually falling in love with one another and soon became lovers.
At one point, Saulcai was entrusted with The Answerer, the treasured weapons of their people by his former mentor. He would leave his homeland and join the Hero Clan in the following Age of Heroes and Villains and take the codename of "The Prosecutor" with Highnoon following soon after. He quickly rose through the ranks of the clan as even the Elder, Victoria, was aware of his prowess. It's unknown if he fought in the waning days of the War of the Reeds like Chaos.
He became one of the central heroes to operate in Cloud Garden, the hometown of the Elder Bishop, and a member of the clan's Special Forces. Throughout the years, the prosecutor befriended many other heroes as he formed close friendships with Golden Arrow and Harvester.
Centuries into the Age of Heroes and Villains, Saulcai's former teacher, the Knight Commander, was murdered by a hero known as Bone Blade in an ambush. Bone Blade would steal the Knight Commander's treasured sword in order to wield for himself and went on to become the second finger of Black Hand's The Fingers It's unknown if Saulcai is aware of these events.
