Manso

Manso was born into the warrior caste and was expected to join the military, but instead decided to join the Provings as a fighter. His first fight in the Provings was against Myaja and Lucjan. He won the fight and immediately became a crowd favorite. At each Proving, the crowd cheered for Manso and he won each fight. Until he came against Piotin Aeducan. They went head to head and the battle lasted for over an hour, then Piotin struck Manso breaking his right leg. Manso could no longer be in the Provings. After two years of struggling to recover, Manso's leg finally healed, but he decided not to go back to the Provings. He had already proven himself as a Provings fighter, but he wanted to be remembered for more being more than just another fighter in the Provings. Manso decided to join the Legion of the Dead in The Deep Roads. Lead by Kardol, the Legion now with Manso, proceed deeper into The Deep Roads reaching the Dead Trenches. The Legion begins crossing the bridge leading towards the Anvil of the Void, they are attacked by a group of Ogres and Kardol is knocked off the bridge and falls. Manso takes up Kardol's sword and slays the Ogres. When the Legion reaches the other side, Manso is made new commander of the Legion. The Legion then makes their way to the Anvil of the Void and clears it of darkspawn. There they find the body of Paragon Branka and the destroyed Anvil. They bring the news back to King Harrowmont, who then orders the Legion to return to the Dead Trenches and continue to drive back the darkspawn. During one fight against the darkspawn, the Legion is helped by a human named Ser Donall. The Legion and the human drive back the darkspawn and defeat them in Caridin's Cross. Manso and the Legion thank Ser Donall and lead him back to the surface. Manso serves as commander of the Legion for many years after and dies in battle allowing the rest of the Legion to retreat to fight another day.
