Background

remnantus cuiviefea also called remnant or remmy is an ancient eldar from the fallen city of gondolin. he was only ten when the city was burned by morgoth's armies and remembers little of his early years. when asked about it he will only say as a great black wing blocked out the sun, the flames burned ever hotter. afterwards he wander arda for millenia seeking a new home. he found in lorien where he met detsactuo whom he considers to be his younger brother. when detsactuo came of age they left lorien together pledging their blades to the highest bidder working as sellswords. then near the middle of the third age , he joined the dawnforge brothers in their quest to restore their noble house to it's former glory, he worked for then as a sword tutor , butler , and as an advisor . he never told them of his true past , but posed as a traveler from imladris. it was during this time that he adopted a half elf whom he named rilruin and raised her as his own. then as she approached her 20th birthday he took her north to evendim, where he planned to spend the day with her on the shores of the brandywine celebrating her special day. he left her briefly to run into the near by town to grab food. and when he returned he found her laying dead with her throat cut on the river's shore. he later found the brigands whom had killed her. he took his time with them as he took his revenge, what he did to those brigands is his greatest sin, and will always haunt him. and like his daughter house dawnforge was not to last as the youngest brother soon became corrupt. he left them and continued to wander selling his skill with a blade and traveling from tavern to tavern . until many years later when fate would smile upon him. he was hunting down a group of assassins known as the red rose assassins , even to the point as posing as one of them. he had slain several of their  kin when one night at the prancing pony as he stood before a fire drowning his memories of war , blood , and his daughter with several tankards of ale ; a man approached him and whispered " meet me outside the west gate in ten minutes. not having anything else to do he made his way to just outside the west gate . he waited and soon the same man approached him , they spoke little as they each had drawn their blades. after a long drawn out battle remnantus stood over the man , victory had belonged to him . he went to make his way back to the pony as the man spoke. you fight with great strength eldar tell me where do you hail from? remantus turned back to him and replied " i hail from a land long forgotten by time" the man's eyes became big. you speak of gondolin do you not. and then together they made their way back to the prancing pony as the man whom revealed his name to be amrindil asked remnantus to join him and aid his company in protecting bree from the threats of the north. remnantus agreed and they became the best of freinds. he spent a long time serving amrindil and his company which he named the red company as a ranger secretly doing dangerous missions in angmar, then one day fate sent remnantus a great challenge. a young hobbit new to the red company was taken by a strange eldar with foul black magic, he found her chained up to two trees north of bree severely injured. he did all the healing he could  but none of it worked , then as the hobbit was nearing death . he sacrificed his light of the eldar and gave it to her. it healed her instantly but it caused him to fade as he became mortal. at this time he was 7046 years of age. the hobbit known as glamdess continued to grow happy and healthy , as did remnantus as he had found love with a young eldar from imladris named zulyn. then one day his friend amrindil did not return from a mission in angmar. and he was never found. remnantus was devastated and soon zulyn left him and he never would see her again. once again remnantus was at a great loss, he ran a tavern for the red company during this time in their village of picklin. though he drank more himself than he sold. soon his friend adilyr was choosen to lead the red company and remnantus served as an officer for him. but soon remnantus's past sorrows caught up to him and he left the company and wandered for nearly a years time . he spent all his fortune on food , strong drink , and pleasurable company. his fading body withered to that of an older man and it was then that his freind glamdess saved him by restoring his light as she had attained her own. then as fate would deem it , his brother detsactuo sensed this great beacon of power as it was restored to remnantus and it awoke a lust for power in detsactuo whom proceeded to hunt down remnantus and glamdess untill his defeat by the dragon nasilith. detsactuo was spared his life and now is once again a brother to remnantus. now as he was restored to his former strength and power remnantus worked as a sellsword once again until he gained enough money to open up a new tavern where glamdess and himself now live. he also re joined with the red company and will forever serve their great cause . glamdess , the red company , and even detsactuo are his true family and finally at the age of 7049 he has peace , purpose , and love.... and no one can ask for more............... But this was not to last either. Remnantus soon began to remember his long forgotten childhood and returned to lorien to seek lady gladriel's counsel , with the help of her magic he remembered his mother , whom was a spirit of nature and grew many green things and taught remnantus to appreciate merry times and nature. His father came to him in a dream, if it was a visit from him or just a recovered memory , he cannot tell. the fatherly advice he received was simple " protect all good things , and all that you love " his father had been a guardian of the seven gates in gondolin. fate as it would have it lead remnantus to embracing a new destiny. he became the guardian of Eriador , and is ever willing to rise to protect it. though soon he discovered the price of this new power. he could not fall in battle yet he could feel the pain of his injuries . and when the injuries became to severe he would fall into a deep comatic sleep . it was during one of these long slumbers that glamdess disappeared , remnantus does not know if she is alive and continues to search aimlessly for her. He can often be found standing guard at their favorite places and at their house they shared. yet there is more tragedy to his tale , as his brother detsactuo has left middle earth. he now roams Eriador truly broken as its guardian . he appears as a once majestic suit of crimson armor now tarnished and rusted , or as a frightful masked traveler . day by day he has lost who he was , now only this guardian remains. with no will for change or to be set free, as he chose to become the guardian..... his sword is sharp , his shield is broad , and his armor is hollow. please be kind to him if you should cross his path , as only the evil doer need fear his wrath.
