Brothers: Daybreak

Shani Von Ducati is the current head of the Light of Tyria. "The Light" is considered to be a group of heroes by some and outlaw vigilantes by others. They are responsible for the assassination and disappearance of some high profile figures that were involved in some of Tyria's most dangerous organizations. They were also blamed for the kidnapping of certain city officials from Divinity's Reach although their involvement in any of these issues were never completely confirmed by the public. Shani's "halo" is an ancient relic rumored to contain Dwayna's life essence and power and was given to him by the former leader of "The Light". He uses it to channel powerful attacks to vanquish his opponents and to place protective barriers and cast strong healing spells when his allies are in danger.

Shani's determination to hunt down "criminals" stems from a catalytic event in his youth where he lost his father and younger brother. He was saved by the bravery and ferocity of his mother who fought her way out of the village during the night of the Flame Legion raid. Along with him, his younger sister was also spared from Baelfire's troops but only to be slain by Mai Trin years later for refusing to join the Aetherblade pirates. His mother joined the Vigil soon after meeting Almorra Soulkeeper but could not urge her only surviving child to follow her.

Under orders from Commander Von Ducati, "The Light" is currently investigating a certain Charr in the Mists who is rumored to be connected with the Flame Legion and the Aetherblade pirates.

**Fun Trivia: This Charr is based on my shih tzu. See last picture.
