General Volkare

General Volkare was the Emperor-appointed leader of the Imperial Legion, which became the Lost Legion after The Breaking. Not much is known about Volkare, including whether he is good or bad, or whether he follows higher orders or his own personal agenda.

Even young Atlanteans, who do not remember the times before the Breaking, have heard stories of General Volkare and his Lost Legion. Volkare was a symbol of the golden age of the Atlantean kingdom, its power and glory, but also (as some say) a symbol of its pride and arrogance. As the highest commander of the Imperial Legion, he was behind all of the great victories that made the Atlanteans the most powerful nation in the Land.

His last victory was the suppression of the Black Powder Rebellion, but did he go too far? It happened just a few weeks before the Breaking; Volkare did not just defeat the Rebels, he swept through their territories with unseen cruelty, mercilessly crushing them into the dust, making sure they would never rise and question Atlantean superiority again.

No one knows what happened to Volkare and his loyal legion then - they just vanished without a trace during the Breaking. Some say Volkare died in the explosions, others say the Land itself opened up and swallowed him, and some just guessed that the remains of the rebels took advantage of the chaos after the Breaking to get revenge on him. Many legends featuring Volkare and his Lost Legion were told during the decades that followed, but the only known fact remains that Volkare never made it back from the rebel territories.
