The first thing he remembers is a gigantic, ornate gate. Several meters high, crafted with care and precision by master craftsmen, the gate was adorned with a white lion. Cyrus, that was his name, a second memory finally comes back to him. Overcome by hunger and thirst, the man pushes open the gate to enter the fortress.
Then, a hot meal. A few worried glances, comforting smiles. Cyrus was experiencing a new beginning without knowing his past. Gradually, he was given a task, some advice, a weapon. Before long, it was he who was now reaching out to others and fighting injustice with his own blade.
Perhaps his past would catch up with him one day. When that day comes, his guild, his new family, will stand by Cyrus. And together, they will be able to fight what would have destroyed him had he remained alone.

This armor design aimed for a specific aesthetic, blending two well-known character types: the knight and the rogue. With this idea in mind, we created this leather armor topped with aluminum plates. The leather allows the fighter excellent mobility and reflects the character’s rough-and-tumble origins. The aluminum, on the other hand, represents his current status and his role within his guild as a front-line soldier. The combination of the two materials remains true to the aesthetic dictated by the character.
We designed the armor custom-made with the client and adjusted it to his measurements. It is easy to wear in combat and adapts to movements when necessary. The finish of the aluminum emphasizes the desired look of a dark knight, ready to fight fiercely to defeat the forces of evil.
Cyrus's custom gear was directly inspired by our standard catalog. Replicate this frontline aesthetic by equipping the Frontier Knight Armor and Frontier Knight Helmet. Complete your defense with the Frontier Knight Pauldrons, Frontier Knight Elbows & Biceps, Frontier Knight Gauntlets, Frontier Knight Tassets with Belt, and Frontier Knight Greaves, then finish the loadout with the 60-inch Sword of Souls.
