The Tale of Julian, the Scarlet Raven

Origins and Tragedy

Julian, known as the Scarlet Raven, was born to Terizla, leader of the Free Smiths’ Guild. This guild of skilled craftsmen created powerful weapons and artifacts, but their knowledge was deemed heretical by the Church of Light.

The Massacre

When Julian was young, the Church, led by an ambitious Archbishop, attacked the guild. During the massacre:

• Julian’s mother, Anne, hid him under rubble
• Anne was killed by the Ravens, the Church’s secret assassins
• Xavier, then a devout Church member, discovered Julian but spared him

Raised by the Church

The Archbishop took Julian in, molding him into a weapon:

• Julian was trained as an elite Raven assassin
• He grew up indoctrinated by Church teachings
• Julian became known for his deadly skill with scythe, sword, and chains

The Revelation

Julian’s life changed when assigned to hunt Xavier, now a Church fugitive:

• Xavier revealed the truth about Julian’s past
• This confrontation coincided with an attack by the demon queen Alice
• Julian chose to protect Xavier and his companions

The Forsaken Light

Julian’s decision marked a turning point:

• He broke from the Church
• Joined Xavier, Yin, and Melissa to form the Forsaken Light
• Dedicated himself to exposing Church secrets and fighting corruption

Current State

Now Julian fights for a new cause:

• He wields his abilities against his former masters
• Struggles with his past and seeks redemption
• Embodies a character caught between light and darkness

Julian’s story in Mobile Legends is one of loss, deception, and the quest for truth. As the Scarlet Raven, he continues to forge his own path, seeking to right the wrongs of his past and uncover the full extent of the Church’s deception.
