Ajax Lightfoot

Ajax Lightfoot has incredible stories of adventures on the other side of the world, but few Splinterlanders believe them. Since his migration to Lyveria with the first of the Khmer ships, he has regaled countless passers by with these stories in an effort not to brag about his conquests, but to make friends. The land of his origin was called Adelfo, otherwise known as the kingdom of brothers. Families of Adelfo grew incredibly large in numbers, often becoming so vast they required their own villages. Most fathers in this land had multiple dozens of children, and the average mother gave birth to some twenty brothers and sisters. These families always remained together through everything, until they were brutally ripped asunder by the nameless evil. Ajax always trails off or makes a joke when it comes time for this evil to be mentioned in his tales, choosing instead to focus on the adventures of the past, before the great invasion. Sadly, he was the only Lightfoot clansman to escape the calamity and find his way to the Splinterlands, where he has not yet found the same level of camaraderie as he misses from home. Ajax hopes that by joining up with the Moxian Gladiators, he will find a new family, and together they will make adventures anew.

Ajax carries a long spear with a three-edged blade made of gold. He says that the three blades of his spear each represent the most beloved of his family: The longest blade is for his father, the one who taught him to never be afraid. The sharpest is for his mother, who taught him that everything in life is for learning. The third blade (which is never sharpened) is tarnished and worn. It represents the endurance of his brothers and the idea that a blade need not be edged to cut.
