Full Name: Landor (formerly known as Marcus Tyler Hither.)

Alias: Landor, The Maker of Monsters

Marcus, who would one day be known as Landor, and his brother Anthony had known the city orphanage as their only home. With no parents to claim them, they were raised alongside other forgotten children, forming their own brand of family amidst the shared hardship.

From a young age, Marcus had displayed an extraordinary fascination with biology and the natural world. He marveled at the intricate dance of life, the creation and growth that unfolded all around him. There was a special place in his heart for the mysteries of nature and the power it held. These curiosities, like fragile seeds, were planted deep within his young mind.

When the brothers reached an age where they could venture into the world beyond the orphanage, they set off on their journey of discovery. The road took them to unexpected places, leading them to a hidden city of magic. Here, ancient forces still thrived, the pulse of magic strong, and the tales of witches and wizards were very much a reality.

Yet, in the world they discovered, technology was rapidly advancing, and science threatened to overshadow the age-old powers of magic. The Empire, fearing the influence of these mystical forces, sought to eradicate the witches from existence. Humanity stood divided, and dark times loomed.

It was in this turbulent period that a powerful witch named Chloe took Marcus and Anthony under her protective wing. Chloe, wise and compassionate, saw potential in the young Marcus's passion for the natural world and the magical arts. She nurtured his gifts and shared her own knowledge, and in time, their teacher-student relationship blossomed into something deeper - love.

Under Chloe's guidance, Marcus's skills in magic grew rapidly. He showed a particular aptitude for creating and shaping the world around him. His power earned him a new name - Landor, a moniker that would be feared and whispered in the shadows.

Their happiness, however, was short-lived. The Empire, ever watchful and fearful of the burgeoning magical talents, eventually tracked down Chloe and her protege. In a heart-wrenching turn of events, Chloe was stripped of her dignity and subjected to public humiliation. The Empire's cruelty knew no bounds, and they executed Chloe before the eyes of a jeering crowd.

Marcus, standing there, consumed by a white-hot rage, swore vengeance for his beloved Chloe. The Empire would come to know the full extent of his powers, and humanity would have reason to fear the name Landor.

Driven by grief, anger, and an unyielding thirst for power, Marcus's quest for answers took him down a treacherous path. He was consumed by an insatiable desire to master magic, even if it meant delving into the forbidden realms of dark sorcery.

During his travels, Marcus stumbled upon a hidden cache of ancient knowledge and dark artifacts, a collection that would forever alter the course of his destiny. Within this cache lay the secrets of extraordinary powers, and as he studied these forbidden arts, he began to understand the dark side of magic.

Fueled by his relentless pursuit of strength, Marcus embraced the forbidden knowledge. His once gentle heart had now hardened, and his devotion to the art of creation and destruction became an obsession. He came to believe that these powers held the key to regaining control over life and death, something he had yearned for ever since Chloe's cruel execution.

In time, Marcus chose to shed his birth name and adopt the moniker "Landor." The name symbolized his unwavering determination to shape the world as he saw fit, a world where the power to create and destroy rested solely in his hands. Landor's power was an extension of his will, a force to be reckoned with.

Yet, Landor's insatiable quest for power led him to seek out a fabled artifact - The Genesis Blade. It was said to be a weapon of immense power, capable of bending the very fabric of reality to its wielder's will. Landor saw it as the key to achieving his ultimate goals, and he would stop at nothing to obtain it, no matter the cost or the darkness it might unleash.

Landor's quest for the sword was relentless, and after years of tireless searching, he finally succeeded in obtaining the legendary artifact. With the sword in hand, Landor's powers reached unparalleled heights, and the city and the Empire felt the full force of his wrath.

In a cataclysmic display of power, Landor leveled the entire city and the oppressive Empire that had caused him and so many others so much pain. The Emperor, desperate and terrified, begged for forgiveness and mercy, but Landor showed him none. The cruel ruler met a slow and brutal end at Landor's hands, a grim reflection of the suffering he had inflicted on Chloe and so many others.

With the Empire in ruins, Landor claimed it as his own, a dark kingdom forged from the ashes of his anger and revenge. But The Genesis Blade, having expended its immense power, shattered and was reduced to mere shards.

One of these shards, however, still held its potential for creation and destruction. Landor, in a twist of fate, dropped it into the very liquid he had used to create his monstrous minions. To his astonishment, the shard gave birth to a child - a baby of incredible potential. It became clear to Landor that this child carried within them the latent power of the sword.

Landor, consumed by his hatred and desire for vengeance against humanity, vowed to raise the child as a weapon. He sought to harness the immense power that the shard had bestowed upon the baby, intending to use it as a weapon against the human race that had wronged him and Chloe.

But destiny would intervene in the form of Anthony and his fiancée, Marcia. The couple, who had once been close to Landor and now sought to reason with him, were met with nothing but hate and cruelty. A fierce confrontation erupted, resulting in a raging fire that burned Landor.

In the midst of the chaos, Anthony and Marcia found themselves responsible for the baby created from the shard. They took the child into their care, naming him Max. Though his origins were shrouded in darkness, they vowed to provide Max with love, nurture his abilities, and protect him from the shadow of Landor's legacy. Their new family would face the challenges ahead together, striving to ensure that Max's path would be one of hope, not vengeance.
