The sun rose over the jagged peaks of the Kael Mountains, casting long shadows over the training grounds where Aghav Ahir, now known to the world as Arion Kael, honed his body and mind. Fifteen years had transformed the once-lost eldest son of the Ahir family into a formidable figure.
From the moment he was separated from his family, Aghav had resolved to survive and thrive in the shadows. His journey began with basic survival: learning to navigate forests, mountains, and urban wastelands. Under the guidance of ancient mercenary masters, he mastered martial arts spanning from Krav Maga to Kalaripayattu, from traditional swordplay to modern combat techniques. Each step forged him into a weapon, yet his mind was honed just as sharply.
By the age of twelve, he had mastered strategic warfare, espionage, and advanced tactical planning. His photographic memory allowed him to recall battlefield maps, enemy positions, and codes with uncanny precision. Fluent in multiple languages, Aghav could infiltrate anywhere, gather intelligence, and disappear without a trace.
During his teenage years, he infiltrated and collaborated with the world's top mercenary guilds, learning the inner workings of global clandestine operations. By eighteen, he had become the leader of the Phoenix Veil, one of the world's top five ranked mercenary guilds. Under his leadership, the guild specialized in high-stakes extraction missions, intelligence acquisition, and advanced combat operations across continents.
Despite his hardened exterior, Arion Kael retained a deep sense of honor and loyalty—principles instilled in him by memories of his family and their teachings, whispered through fragments of his mother's voice. Every operation was executed with precision, and every decision balanced risk and morality.

Throughout his journey, he earned the respect—and fear—of both allies and adversaries. Yet, he carried the quiet longing for his lost family, a fire that guided him and reminded him of the boy who had once dreamed of reunion.
Arion's reputation reached the ears of elite operatives, diplomats, and the underground networks alike. His guild became a force that no government or private army could ignore. Despite the cold efficiency, those who knew him understood a subtle code of ethics: Arion Kael never betrayed those he considered family, and he never forgot the past that had shaped him.
As he stood on the cliff overlooking the training grounds, the wind tousling his hair, he reflected on the transformation: Aghav Ahir had died in the eyes of the world. Arion Kael, master of shadows and steel, had been born.
The horizon ahead was both a battlefield and a promise—a life of conquest, leadership, and eventually, love.
