Early Life and Service in the 10th Legion[]

Little is known about Odo's early life. He served as a spy and scout for the 10th Legion, a military order that had protected the kingdom of Ehb for centuries. During this time, he encountered the enigmatic figure known as the The Radiant Youth. When Jeyne Kassynder led a rebellion against the Legion, Odo chose not to participate in the final stand at Rukkenvahl Forest, believing that a noble death was not the answer. Instead, he left to pursue his own plans.

Exile and Guardianship[]

After the Legion's defeat, Odo traveled throughout Ehb, dedicating himself to safeguarding those with Legion blood. For thirty years, he kept them safe from harm, hoping to rebuild the Legion. When he believed the time had come, Odo sent out messages urging the descendants to meet him at the old Montbarron Estate, where he intended to revive the 10th Legion. Unfortunately, the estate was attacked by Lescanzi mercenaries who slaughtered its inhabitants. Escaping the burning estate, Odo returned to the chapterhouse in Raven's Rill, hoping to find survivors.
