Alros

Alros is the leader of a Darknut mercenary band that has operated in all corners of Hyrule.

Physical Characteristics
Alros is a muscular male Darknut with black fur and red eyes. He is notable for going into battle without any armor. He proudly wears golden warpaint on his chest so that his enemies may spot him in battle and know he is coming for them.

Personality
Alros is a proud warrior to the core, ever eager to prove his worth and the worth of his martial philosophy in battle. Though he enjoys material wealth and thus charges a high price for his services, Alros only ever signs with employers who offer him a worthy foe. In stark contrast to the warriors of the Legion, Alros refuses to wear armor in battle, seeing its excessive weight as a liability. He trusts instead in his own speed and swords for protection, and enjoys taunting enemies into trying to land a blow on him. Though generally gregarious and jovial in temperment when not on the battlefield, Alros harbors a deep resentment for the Legion that exiled him. His one wish is to overthrow the Legion and replace it with a force built upon his own style of warfare.

Ancient Age
Alros was once a general in the Darknut Legion, second only to Zalunbar in authority. All that changed during a battle against the Gerudo, in which his army was out-maneuvered and crushed by their lighter, faster opponents. For his defeat, Alros and his closest followers were exiled from the Legion, stripped of their armor and denied even the right to join the Dishonored. Rather than wallow in shame, Alros embraced his new-found freedom. Realizing it was the legion's reliance on heavy armor that had caused his defeat, he developed a new fighting style, one that focused on speed rather than durability. Eager to prove the superiority of his new approach, Alros forged his remaining warriors into a mercenary band and began seeking out worthy foes wherever they could be found. Freed from the weight of their armor, Alros and his band fight with stunning agility, dismembering enemies before they raise their swords and knocking arrows aside with contemptuous ease. Though Alros charges an exorbitant price for his services, none who see him in action can deny he is worth the cost.

Bodyguard
Alros goes into battle with Darknuts known as Reavers, each one a veteran that he has personally trained and fought beside. Though most are fellow warriors who served under him during his days as a general, more and more come from other Darknuts who have fled the strict discipline of the legion. Like their lord, they fight with twin swords and without armor.
