Biography of Dawn Larrieux

A life led astray, Dawn was an orphaned child whom lived within the streets of several towns and cities. Stealing in order to survive, she grew up as a thief. It was her only way to ensure she would survive for she had no one to aid her. Her parents were unknown to her and her being caused several individuals attempt to end her life. Brown eyes hinted with an azure gleam she had. She was labeled a monster for her being. Yet she could not help it. She was born this way. Half Human, half Wolf. Dawn was stronger than most men and faster than most horses. Traits such as these made her appear to be a demon. Despite her races were out of pure fun when she came across other children, most wanted her dead.

From city to city and town to town, Dawn wandered aimlessly. It was said that everything were to happen for a reason and that a God had a plan for all yet, was her plan simply to exist to dwell alone and live through such heartache and pain? Or was she merely to exist to be a mere sacrifice for these humans to hunt and exploit as they saw fit?

Years had gone by. She age far slower than most others and as she settled in one area she would eventually have to leave due to her unnatural appearance. Her undying youth is what made few suspicious of her yet when these suspicions arose she had already left the country and relocated elsewhere. There were friends which she missed and those which had died yet, she could not help what she was. She also did not want to die simply to appease whatever deity created her. Dawn had settled in the Old Republic of Halteese within the year 1571 and she resided there throughout much of the conflict between Dalkia. She had also fought for the Halteeseans as well.

The years crept by and as the war reached a pinnacle, she faced a man named Williams. Unbeknownst to her, this was Annebella's father. Along with him had been another man. He went by the name of Delgado. He was Spanish and as she had heard, a fine commander along with Williams. Though she had never heard much of this man until recently which made her question his origin. As she began to dig, she along with a unit infiltrated Parousian Territory in order to investigate. The year was 1592. To her discovery, the Parousian Emperor had been secretly sending select soldiers to aid Dalkia in their war against her current veil, which was Halteese.

At this time, Dawn appeared to be within her early to mid-twenties. She had led a life in Halteese within seclusion and refused to show her face. It was when her unit had attempted to leave that they were discovered. Like the Wolf she had been, she stalled the Parousian Forces so that her allies could escape. She too, escaped with grave injuries. It had been the first time that her innards had even spilled from her body and as she lay, dying she thought, she was found by a man. His name was Trevor. This man tended to her wounds and kept her hidden from Parousian eyes. Despite her face not being known, if a woman was discovered with wounds such as her, it would not take long for things to be linked together. Not to mention why she was capable of surviving with such ghastly injuries.

As she came to, he fed her and explained her situation. Like her, Trevor had been a half breed. He had been living in Parousia for nearly one hundred years. His home was within one of the poorer sections of the country which is why he had eluded suspicions with such ease. Not many cared about the poor. As long as they paid their taxes, no one cared. This was how he remained unknown to those whom lived around him. Dawn herself had also taken up residence here but only after remaining hidden for a year.

After that year had passed, she concealed herself amongst merchants which had traveled from Dalkia to sell goods. As she presented herself and her merchandise to the men at the gate, she was immediately assaulted. The men at the gates were imposters whom had killed the original guards yet amongst them was a man. His name was Girardot. The imposters had made an attempt at his life yet he along with Dawn both survived the attack.

After recovering from her injuries, Girardot interrogated her about her skill. As she told him what she knew and where, he then sent his guards out of the keep so that he could speak to her alone. As they spoke, he told her that he recalled her style of combat as it matched an Unnamed Sect which had infiltrated Parousia over a year ago. As such, he knew that she had been the surviving member of that sect, though Grandall had not a hand in their deaths. Dalkia had intercepted them and slew them.

Dawn's mouth hung open at that news. She wanted to scream at him for lying yet, he looked not the type to lie. Girardot made Dawn a deal. If she would teach the soldiers of Parousia to fight in the manner she did, he would say not a word. Dawn weighed her options. She could try to run, but there is only so much damage her body could take before she would collapse. Simply because she was a half-breed, did not mean she could merely run through searing steel without feeling pain. Even more so the fact was that there had been an uncanny feel to this country. Almost as if something was lurking and silently waiting.

Accepting the terms, she modified the choice to where she would train her own squadron and lead them into combat if need be. Girardot took her hand and gripped it: confirming that they in fact had a deal. With her skill, and her unnatural strength, and agility, she tore through the ranks with immense (and practically humiliating) ease. Now, she waited for the right individuals to show their talent within training before she recruited anyone to be within her squadron.

The Special Tactics Squadron

As the years slowly drifted by, Dawn had been promoted to the rank of commander. Yet, under Girardot's teachings, she had proved to be far more deserving of just being a mere commander. Dawn was given an additional boost within her rank due to her training not only with Girardot but also with members of the Ressentiment. The latter were the Emperor's personal knights yet at this time, they were not much of a force to deal with. Only being four knights at that. Yet with her new found rank, she sought out the specialists of the Parousian army. Those who were the best within their field of operations and as such she was pleasantly surprised when an old face crossed her path.

Her name was Alexandria. A heroic name for a female within the military. Alexandria and Dawn have known each for years yet, Alexandria has yet to discover Dawn's secret. Thus far, Trevor is the only one who has knowledge of Dawn's capabilities as she is the only one who knows of his.

Upon Alexandria's tests, she passed each one with soaring colors. Girardot had approved her skill and thus Dawn did as well. Alexandria would serve as Dawn's second while Trevor declined the offer. He was more satisfied with simply being a part of Dawn's squadron.

The next choice was a man named Vlad. Girardot appointed him due to his ability to remain silent, and stealth-wise. Upon his tests of detection, Dawn and Trevor both knew where he was. That is simply due to their shared secrets. Girardot on the other hand had been eluded twice. With praise coming from his superiors, Vlad was taken in.

The final choice thus far, was a man named Garret. He was a Heavy Infantry Specialist and was knowledgable of weaponry as well as how to use several siege weapons and even out-of-date war weaponry. He was sought by many for his vast knowledge yet, as Dawn met him she was disgusted. Garret was lewd, crude, and rather obnoxious, as well as annoying. In other words, he was the typical man--which so happened to be valued as a high addition to several units. As well as squadrons. Dawn accepted him despite disliking his personality. In the end, his effectiveness is what truly matters and he was capable of besting Trevor in knowledge and also arms use. Though in out right strength, Garret failed against Trevor--which Dawn had expected but had also purposely initiated.

With her squadron set, they were to operate as one, whether they be together or spread thin. Together, they trained rigorously. Perfecting their strategies so that they could effectively bring down nearly any opponent or force. Of course, when things truly were too difficult, they knew too back down.

"A dead Phoenix is of no use to anyone."

This was there saying and what they would live by. It means to never get yourself into something that you cannot get yourself out of. There were times to act within pride and there were times to act with one's mind. Throwing one's life away is not at all wise despite the choice.

Throughout the war against Dalkia and Halteese, the squadron brought down their defenses which allowed other units, paradigms, and also the main army pass through to the next area. At times one of them could be seen but it was better for them not to be known by most of their allies. If they were discovered and in the end, truly relied on, then things could sour for her squadron as well as their allies as well. Raina had caught sight of Dawn herself on a few occassions and in turn she did nothing more than watch Gungnir pass her by. Raina knew that their were allies lurking about but she knew not who. Dawn on the other hand could tell that something was amiss when it came to Raina and her animalistic instincts told her that. Raiko, not so much.

Dawn (squadron) had brought down the main stronghold's defenses across the Welshdat Bridge and once the main army had made their way into Revless, Gungnir, Exodus, Relic, and Valor followed. Raina noticed her then. Months later, when Gungnir and Exodus engaged Halteese's main defensive wall, Dawn (squadron) had a hand in destroying a section of this wall via explosives yet, with their showing of might as well as skill, Raina spotted Dawn, Alexandria, and Trevor. At this rate, Dawn had considered adopting Raina into her squadron yet, with her loyalty remaining with Gungnir, that clearly would not happen. Alexandria was the one whom had brought that news to Dawn. She was saddened a bit, yet, she worried none of it.

Throughout the war, Dawn (squadron) played their part and made it less the chore for Parousian forces to deal with their shared opposition.
