Overview
Lore & Backstory
Read the Full StoryMacao was born into a family of arcane blood, but gave up magic entirely for the love of his life, until her death at the hands of a militant sect broke that vow forever, and turned him into the vengeance-driven sorcerer he is today.
That isn't where the story stops, though it's where most of Voir's chroniclers leave it. Years after Sarah, and years after the mirror, Macao settled in Kastania, and found, against every reasonable expectation for a man who'd buried that part of himself, something worth staying for a second time: Lady Sophia Kalila, the realm's Dragon Knight. He guards Kastania's borders now the same way he once guarded a ship's crew, personally, without exception, and without much patience for anyone who threatens what's his.
The mirror's duplicate, the Twin, never disappeared from the story either. Years later, a monastery crisis put Macao face to face with him again. What Macao found was not the threat he expected: a man still dangerous, still self-interested, but changed by someone who'd chosen to treat him like a person instead of a mistake. Macao let him walk away. He still isn't entirely sure that was the right call. He's also never regretted it.
Reputation & Martial Prowess
On the battlefield, Macao appears to be little more than a swashbuckler, a jaunty pirate with a thin rapier and an easy smirk. Enemies routinely miscalculate his threat until streams of white-hot fire erupt from his palms, melting enameled plate mail and ending fights in seconds.
Alongside his fiercely loyal pseudodragon familiar, Gracie, Macao moves with terrifying speed and martial grace. Though his heart remains protective of those under his wing, his wrath toward oppressors is absolute.
