Torin Maverick Kuz is a journalist, scientist, photographer, and martial artist. He is accomplished as a writer and literary critic. He is a descendant of the Kuz Clan and an RP character of TheGreatKuzon!.
Something of a downhearted intellectual and hopeless romantic, living the gloomy city life and traveling space seeking knowledge and a brighter light, Torin is an arrogant, argumentative realist that embraces logic. Being acutely intelligent, Torin is an excellent and self-established scientist and engineer in several fields, and engages in a variety of other works and ventures such as avant garde art, photography, writing, historiography, cartography, exploration, and politics. He has an eventful background of revolution, struggle, and redemption, resulting in him adopting a low-key existence and having many 'connections' throughout space. He is currently taking refuge in a penthouse in Supreme City.
Overview[]
In his heart, Torin is a true freedom fighter. Outside, it is no different. He's not afraid to tell the truth and hates politically correct bullshit. This is highlighted by his fierce appetite for reality and logic, going as far to name his occupation 'reality star'. He is a subdued perfectionist intellectual, burdened by the ignorance of people and flaws of life. This is what makes him a hopeless romantic, in search of solace. He describes himself as 'a mess', which is true, as he is very unorganized and looks the part as well, being efficiently practical and never paying mind to vanity or luxury. He is quite philisophical as a moral character, experimenting with different beliefs and ideologies, but is wholly secular. As such, Torin embraces trescendent spiritualism and trains in martial arts. He is a man full of wit, fuelled by his interest in satire and the politics of society.
Though seemingly a reclusive dweller, Torin actually spends most of his time travelling to other planets 'in search of information', engaging in certain affairs, or pure curiosity. This makes him extremely knowledgeable on art, culture, linguistics (knowing thousands of languages), and several other subjects. Adapting quickly to whatever he is put to, he is something of an everyman and jack-of-all-trades, though his main work lies in science and technology. He expresses his opinions as a journalist under a pseudonym of Phil White, and analyzes politics, sociology, and psychology. He is a history enthusiast, book collector, and skilled cartographer. His creativity is expressed through various artforms, visual and physical, notably avant garde and photography. These are all skills he picked up through his tumultuous past of engaging in revolutions, war, tyranny, struggle, and eventual redemption that crafted his character.

Neo Lookout Crew
Torin came across the Neo Lookout Crew, a band of powerful young warriors, in Age 1500, and subsequently led to their formation, and his involvement setting in place the rest of his life. He had resided on the relatively normal Earth after he put his past behind him, out of notoriety and closeness to his ancestors. There, he had lived in a cheap, small, messy apartment in a back alley of Supreme City, or 'Supreme', with his work, books, and other shit lying around while his paintings sit in the window. He oftened worked on cars and cloaked spaceships in the abandoned parking complex next door, behind a tarp.
The fighters would often come to him for help, advice, or in need of his services, to which he would oblige. He worked as the group's handyman in fighting evil villains through creating different devices, robotics, physical enhancement pills and devices, you name it, specifically for their usage. Such is Yoku beans. Torin can not use ki himself nor is physically strong but does meditate and embrace spiritualism, notably that of Yogi Lokenath Rishi, whom he was introduced to through the NLC's adventures. Torin personally helps the NLC through wearing a destructo suit and often 'drops in' during dire times to save them dramatically and 'explosively'.
Though his relationship with most of them is merely in business, he developed a close mentor-apprentice relationship with Gaven, a bright talented but skeptical young fighter and famous musician leader of Unity. It would grow stronger as time went on, carried on by their subdued bisexuality.
With the NLC, Torin has played a fundamental role in history. He was awarded the Blue Star Medal by Earth President Hanna Rune for his heroic actions leading the dissolution of corrupt Kastair United, which set in order a wave of events leading to the coronation of Torhnir Otanyu as new Emperor of TGE and the closing of the Post-Revolution era of universal history, all part of the War of Unification.
Appearance[]
Torin is, as he describes, a mess. His hair is long, black, and shaggy. He has thick stubble and sometimes grows a full on beard. He usually wears loose suits or polo shirts. He smokes cigarettes a lot (though not normal ones, as he isn't a dumbass).
Biography[]
Beginnings[]
Torin describes his early life as 'an enigma'. Born in August 1464, he grew up on Planet Aspin, a colony of a small corrupt kingdom Afee, of a bigger one. His father, Sidney Kuz, was a working class man that edited the local newspaper and sometimes didn't get paid. His mother was a housewife, and he had 2 younger brothers. He lived in a block compound, poor as dirt. Aspin was quite racially diverse, but very strict and authoritarian.
When Torin was 7, his father, who was outspoken, put a 'wrong' word in one of his articles about the government. family was accused of plotting against the government, and placed under watch. His father was imprisoned, tortured, and committed suicide in prison. One night, his mother rounded up the 3 kids and they began digging a hole to escape the compound. His mother and brothers were caught by guards and killed, while Torin managed to escape. However he was soon caught up with and put under government custody.
Under government custody, child Torin was put on a specific eating schedule and forced to sleep in a bland, cube room every night. During the day he worked jobs like a slave. He critically thought and questioned the situation, as his parents were both rebels and inspired him, and he fully understood what was going on, but didn't let his emotions get the best of him; that's what they want. Torin was 18 when he was trained how to engineer and pilot jets, to prepare for the military service draft. He did the full course, and then formulated a master plan. He escaped the planet piloting a stolen jet while everyone was at lunch. He managed to escape his life as a simple resource. It's what his father wanted. He was now free.
Career[]
Soon finding himself on many different planets, Torin indulged in his ability to freely read, study, and write whatever he wanted, as well as sexually indulge. His goal in life was to 'tell the truth, save people, and be damn good at it'. He spent many nights scouring libraries. He also researched his genealogy, his ancestry tracing back to the Kuz Clan. Torin found himself approaching the Temple of Aser'i at age 19, an underground school devoted to teaching all forms of people martial arts and other trades, as well as the truth. Torin spent 4 years here, a top student. He learned martial arts, engineering, and science. He taught for some time as well. Around this time, Torin began discovering himself as an intellectual. He wrote articles and read books about the 'current agenda'. He left Aser'i in 1487.
Torin set out and traveled the cosmos, studying anthropology and gaining an interest in art. Somewhere along the line, he discovered his bisexuality. He had some small relationships with men and women here and there, but 'nothing above the ordinary'. Torin engineered many forms of armor and robot suits based off what he discovered and parts he collected. He then became a freedom fighter mercenary, travelling the planets and participating in revolutions, often putting his own life on the line.
In 1490, Torin moved and established a permanent residence on Planet Earth, in Supreme City, in a small apartment under a skyscraper complex, and tried to remain hidden from public sight. He would conduct his experiments here in a secret chamber he engineered in an old gas room. He began finding interest in painting and doing photography. He wrote anonymous articles and was a literary critic in newspapers and magazines. He was a strong proponent against religion and a strong liberal. He supported free thought and speech, fighting for civil rights.
Harava Revolution (1493)[]
During the Harava Revolution of 1493, friends Torin and Embial were to rescue thousands from a city about to detonate, and under oath to put the civilian's lives above theirs at all costs. Torin had Embial help some other men try to bring the bomb elsewhere so not to destroy the city, then he went to evacuate the people. However the bomb went off. Torin assumed Embial had died and soon settled back down to Earth. However Embial survived the explosion, during which he discovered his ability to do so, but was badly injured and burned. In the rubble, he discovered a shining gem. Now with a vendetta against Torin, he used the gem to found a massively powerful space corporation, Dexal Industries, in producing energy fuel tanks (using the gem's permanent essence). Torin never knew Embial was secretly alive.
Neo Lookout Crew - Destroying Kastair United (1500)[]
Noticing them due to their power early on in 1500, Torin felt something about the Neo Lookout Crew, and followed members whenever they fought or met up, to study and examine them, without them knowing, even if it was as simple as hiding behind a tree. The smoke from his cigarettes was a sign. His first major presence was at the Lookout Tournament, but went unnoticed. Soon their paths would meet.
Part I - Amoku
8 May 1500 - Arkonai, Jericho, Gaven, Neki, Leohart, Azazel and Yamato were on the Lookout chilling around. Gaven was tuning the radio when he heard on the radio that there were riots in Supreme City, and violent protests. Gaven went down there to check it out, and Jericho went with him. Everyone followed. The protests were happening because Earth's government was taking too long to rescue Brother Martin, who had been captured. People distrusted the government. The ePalace, where the President of Earth Hanna Rune resided was surrounded by protesters.
Meanwhile, Votek arrived on the Lookout while everyone was there. He noticed a strange tall green robed alien creature landing and walking into the Lookout. He questioned the creature, who said it was the maid doing cleaning on the lookout. In reality, the creature was lying and was stealing the Dragon Balls. Votek confronted the creature as Jericho and Gaven then returned to the lookout to assess the situation, after sensing some power. Yamato and Azazel landed on the lookout to see what was going on as well. Neki was there as well, and caught a dragon ball after Votek snatched it from the creature.
Amoku
The creature was called Amoku, and he wanted to steal the dragon balls for his father. Everyone fought Amoku, who had a rubber like body and could use spikes to deflect attacks. During the battle, the dragon balls fell off of the lookout. Amoku chased after them. Jericho grabbed one and Leohart grabbed another, while Amoku captured the others. Amoku and everyone fought in mid air, above Supreme City. Riots were happening down below. The battle was eventually taken to the city, where buildings were smashed through. Jericho fought Amoku in his Devil Bison form, actually able to seriously damage him. However, eventually, Amoku vanished. He did not use ki and could not be sensed, so he could not be tracked...
President Rune was abducted, carried away by guards into a strange spaceship. Everyone was distracted by this, until Amoku appeared again, slamming into the Earth at millions of miles per hour with his Groundbreaker technique.. This caused earthquakes all over, and mass destruction. Amoku made a hole 5000 feet into the Earth, and Jericho followed him down there. He went into Amoku's nostril, going into his body and attacking his organs. First, he blasted Amoku's intestines. This caused him to spit and poop toxic blood, which got on everyone. His liver was also destroyed by Jericho, causing him to be severely weakened. This gave an advantage to everyone on the outside, who were fighting him. Jericho found the dragon balls in Amoku's body, which were protected by metal casing and spikes. Spikes in Amoku's body attacked Jericho, and held off Neki's Kamehameha from the outside. However, the Kamehameha was effective and eroded the metal casing of the dragon balls. Jericho snatched the five dragon balls with ki hands. Gaven hit the weakened Amoku in the head with a power pole, making him go brain dead. Jericho flew out of his ear with the five dragon balls, as Amoku was destroyed by heat from near the earth's core, as well as a Kamehameha.
The battle at the earth's core caused lava to spurt into SC, which was in ruins. Earth was now under martial law, and everyone had escaped from the core after Amoku's destruction. Now that they all had the seven dragon balls, Jericho and Gaven put them in a sack.
Supreme City
The protesters from before were still there but were avoiding pools of lava in SC. Jericho went with Gaven to check on Nanny Kana, Gaven's orphanage mother. A masked man dropped his kids off at the orphanage, asking if Jericho could bring them to safety. Jericho promised to bring Christian and Madeline, the children of the masked man, as well as Nanny Kana and the orphans, to a safe location. He teleported to the wilderness of Mount Paozu where there was a small village and a small apartment complex. Jericho talked to the landlords wife, as the landlord was very drunk at the time. The landlords wife got rooms for Christian, Madeline, the orphans, and Nanny Kana after Jericho paid. Jericho and Gaven left, leaving them in safety. Jericho and Gaven stayed underground that night in the Agents of Justice HQ while everyone else was off training elsewhere. Antilles to keep all seven dragon balls hidden in a pocket dimension where they wouldn't be picked up by a radar.
Shortly after Amoku was defeated, Thomas Dysley and his assistant immediately made their way to the Epalace and announced to the public that they would be taking control, with promise of economic recovery and prosperity. The public have decided to take their chances and see how things turn out.
Part 2 - Martin & Seeba
30 May 1500 - After weeks of training, everyone felt ready enough to finally go to Zares and free Martin, facing any troubles on the way. Neki met up with Gaven and Jericho (whose head was newly shaved) in a forest outside the Agents of Justice HQ. As they were on their way to Supreme City, they noticed a roadstop being robbed by KU soldiers on trucks, who were all around Earth due to it being under martial law. They went and stopped them, destroying them, before destroying a giant KU robot as well. It was time to get to Zares, and Gaven suggested stealing a ship from a KU base. Neki said Nikdia had spaceships, and everyone teleported there and back with one, which was disguised to look like a KU ship (black/white) by a painter. Everyone put on KU armor as well. Zion X, Leohart, Yamato, Gaven, Neki, Jericho, and Ronwell blasted off out of Earth on the ship, being stopped a few times and checked by KU ships. They didn't know where Zares was either, so Gaven learned to contact another ship, which sent them a hologram file map. He opened it up on a computer in the ship.
the desert surface of Zares was over 1,000 degrees, not to mention everyone wore giant sweaty suits
Soon they made it to gates outside Zares, a large black and green misty planet. There were ships everywhere leaving and entering and being inspected. There were 2 routes, A and B, for whatever code your ship unit was (none of which they knew). Neki and Gaven were piloting the ship, as Gaven had managed to learn how to contact other ships for help and use most of the functions in a very short time. They guessed and took route A. The surface of Zares was a complete desert at temperatures of 1,000 degrees F. They landed in a military base outside an arab-looking city. They got out, and very soon were assigned duties and numbers by a captain. Gaven was Soldier 74, and sent to Bruma on a wagon to watch natives. Neki was 62, sent underground to guard Martin. Jericho was 34, also sent to guard Martin. Zion and Ron were 22 and 23, sent to Erdma to organize weaponry. Yamato wandered off and they forgot him, so he hung around the city. Neki noticed a figure watching nearby but couldn't make it out in the heat. Soon, Zion and Ron's route was messed up and they ended up in Burma, where they would help Gaven watch Zarean natives behind an electric fence. Neki and Jericho went 5,000 feet underground to a maze bunker where they guarded the door to Martin's chamber. Neki saw a phone and called it, Gaven answering from Burma. Since Gaven, Zion, and Ron were unable to get down there in time, they planned that Neki and Jericho would break Martin out and G/Z/R would meet them at the exit.
the underground bunker maze
Neki and Jericho both attacked the guards in front of the door to Martin's chamber, but it was locked anyway with 700 locks. The password was memorized by guards, so they went around and kept interrogating and killing guards to find it. After none of them obliged, Neki blew down the door with a Big Bang Kamehameha. Martin was unconscious, locked by all 4 limbs to magic chains on a bridge over an abyss that went deep to Zares' core. They couldn't break him out, the chains were Ki-resistant and burnt Jericho's hands.
the room where Martin was being imprisoned
Suddenly, the door locked shut again and the lights went on, and Neki/Jericho began getting pelted by giant sticky black balls that expanded on contact, then white powder rained from the ceiling that burned through Ki. They used barriers, and, with no other options, ripped Martin from the chains, severing his hands and feet. Jericho went into his Devil Bison super form, and blew through the door and escaped the underground bunker. Meanwhile, Gaven was being watched suspiciously by soldiers in Burma. Suddenly the soldiers chased him, after the planet went on lockdown. Him, Zion, and Ron ran across the desert at high speeds being chased by tanks and helicopters shooting at them, back to the city to meet Neki and Jericho at the entrance with unconscious Martin. They got there and were surrounded by thousands of soldiers, a standstill. Suddenly, Jericho bursted out of the exit, blowing all the soldiers back. Everyone ran to the ship they came to Zares in, got in, sealed the door, and got out of there. The planet's core was about to blow.
In space, Neki called forth Nikad to heal Martin and bring back his hands and feet. Everyone had successfully escaped him. Suddenly, the ship ran out of gas, and the backup tanks were deciphered. Then, a small ship pulled up next to them and ciphered some fuel into the ship, then requested entrance. They accepted, connecting a tube to the ship, then a soldier came through the door, taking his helmet off to reveal a long shaggy haired man with stubble. He said he knew they would go there, and had been watching them for months, and was an ally. He was too late to help them escape Martin though. He began piloting the ship, saying that Earth was blocked by a giant Royal ship that contained the Leader of KU's daughter and son, Seeba and Naablu, and maybe even him. He piloted the ship into the bottom of the Royal ship and parked it in a dark underlot, saying they would have to break in, stop the ship's controls, then face the children. Everyone got out, entering the ship through a duct...
Shortly after, the ship fell off and fell into Earth's atmosphere and crushed some KU soldiers in a field. Unknowingly, a fighter named Vergil Redgrave appeared on the ship with them. Martin woke up, confused. Jericho created a portal to the AoJ HQ for Martin so he would be safe. With no time to talk, they continued into a cargo room full of crates and soldiers talking about KU conquests. Gaven instigated an attack, and everyone fought the guards. There were many tanks lying around, with toxic poison, that they threw at each other. One of them exploded and the room had a toxic gas. Jericho used a shockwave to blow it away and they continued on into a giant engine control room, where they fought engineers with long rifles with neon poison. Jericho destroyed an engine with a Big Bang Attack, followed by throwing bodies in the others to stop them, therefore stopping the ship. Everyone voted whether or not to destroy the ship. Gaven said the man was farther ahead and would be killed. Gaven ran ahead after him, pursued by everyone else. They found a cage that overlooked a large royal room where a tall female alien was having her feet rubbed. The room was full of soldiers. They broke through and eliminated the soldiers, who could reanimate.
Seeba
The alien woman applauded them, beginning to sexually lay on a couch and eat grapes. Her name was Seeba. She proposed a deal for Gaven, Jericho, Zion, Vergil, Neki, and Ronwell to work for KU in exchange for Martin's return. Zion refused strongly. She showed them her male sex slaves, she actually brainwashed. After some small talk, she became annoyed and attacked them with her hair locks. Firing fireballs and shooting lasers, she fiercely avoided most attacks. She attempted to Mindrend Vergil, but was distracted by Jericho cutting her hair with a Destructo Disk. Ron wanted to do an attack on her, and couldn't be mindrended because his mask was on. After everyone used combined attacks and pinned her against the wall, the soldier from earlier dropped from the ceiling and stabbed her in the eyes with knives, blinding her. As she screamed, Ron used his Mirror Mode on her and turned her to stone, then was effectively destroyed with a Kamehameha by Jericho. Tuffle Ships from Pluto had came at the request of Zion, just incase. Suddenly the ship began crashing towards Earth due to engines being off. Vergil grabbed it with giant arms, and launched it into the sun. Everyone then freefalled into Earth's atmosphere. 'I never imagined I would be doing this 6 months ago..' said Gaven, as they tore through the clouds and crash landed in a forest.
After landing, everyone headed for the Agents of Justice HQ to check up on Martin. He came out of the bathroom with a newspaper, after showering. He wanted to leave but it was still too dangerous. He requested a bedroom. Everyone talked. Meanwhile, the soldier landed in a pond only feet away from the secret entrance to the HQ. He requested entry, saying he was an ally. He was let in by Antilles. He revealed his name as Torin. He said he could figure out where Lord Kyrr (leader of KU) and his son could be, by accessing secret KU database schedules. Everyone headed for Torin's apartment in the alleys of Supreme City. There, it was messy and crowdy. He hacked into files and printed out the papers, with Vergil promptly destroying his printer afterwards to avoid being traced. Kyrr would be on Planet Base C-093 on June 2nd at 7pm. Everyone agreed to meet up at his place then, and would go mess with KU soldiers as practice until then. He then asked them to leave, but before Gaven left, he talked to him about the NLC and gave him a key to his apartment to use as a secret HQ.
Part 3 - Kyrr & Naablu
Torin's space car
2 June - Everyone arrived at Torin's apartment to find he was in a parking underlot, dimly lit, working and engineering a car behind a large tarp, his 'garage', with parts everywhere. He was working one of his many spaceships. Neki brought a bag of senzu beans and Yamato showed up. Everyone gathered and Torin said he needed some diesel. Zion headed into the city to a gas station, where he was subdued by KU guards, and ended up getting in a giant inner city fight. Everyone else did too. A KuzDonalds was destroyed and it rained hamburgers for hours. After they were destroyed, Torin used the diesel and everyone got in the car, then blasted off out of Earth, destination: Base C-093. In space, everyone ate fast food, before the car was attacked by KU ships. The car deployed rockets, and Yamato helped destroy them. Torin activated stealth. They soon entered C-093's atmosphere, where they encountered the Royal Forces. Everyone got out of the car and fought them, hopping from ship to ship and countering meteors andm missiles. Gaven broke his arm and was almost killed after being outnumbered, but Torin saved him in his car, and they then headed into C-093. Everyone followed suit.
Base C-093
C-093 was a very icy planet with temperatures of -5000 degrees F (directly opposite of Zares). They landed outside its main city, an icy utopia, infiltrated by KU. They took down soldiers, Torin joining them in giant armor (his only way to help). They interrogated soldiers to find where Kyrr was but none obliged--then they noticed a massive palace in the middle of the city. Jericho went into his Devil Bison form and tried to tear through it but it wouldn't. The palace then suddenly tore off from ground and blasted into space--towards Earth. Everyone, in surprise, then saw under it there was a large road to a large door; an undergrond bunker. They broke through it into large torch-lit halls. East, North, West. Neki and Gaven took east, Zion and Ron took north, and Torin and Jericho took west. North, Zion and Ron came across a dead end, soon discovered to be a giant room full of vicious wolves that attacked them. The wolves then left the room and chased everyone else, before being 'put down'. The floor fell out and a massive serpent shot out and almost ate Zion, shooting into space. Zion and Ron soon found themselves in a large room with everyone else suddenly, one with a throne. A masked figure came out from behind a throne, revealing himself as Lord Kyrr.
Lord Kyrr
Naablu
After intense fighting, Ronwell, angered by Naomi's falling victim, unleashed his true power and transformed into a Super Saiyan 3. Everyone took this as a message saying to use their final attacks. Ron released a True Kamehameha, Zion entered his Dragon Form, Azazel activated Flame Cloak, Gaven used Starlight Cannon and Nexus Eye, and Jericho used Beacon of Destruction x10. Nakyrr took it all, but became overwhelmed, and attempted to escape Earth in his ship. He trailed the entire solar system, being chased by a massive power beam. He landed on Pluto, thinking it was uninhabited, but it actually was home to the Tuffle Kingdom, and Zion was a native. Zion was there and stopped him. Nakyrr prepared to leave, but was immediately hit and incinerated to death by everyone's attacks all the way from Earth, thus ending the leadership of KU. His mask was dropped on the ground, with Ron picking it up for study. Everyone reunited on Earth. Rune, Naomi, and Martin were all successfully saved. They planned to have a recognition and celebration in 2 days.
President Rune
4 June - A massive recognition ceremony was held in front of the ePalace, which was under construction. Martin, Ron, Zion, Gaven, Jericho, Azazel, and Yamato were all recipients of the Blue Star Medal, the highest award on Earth. Gaven requested 3 extra, for Torin, Neki, and Vergil Redgrave, who could not attend (Neki was busy and Torin didn't attend public events, he watched from his apartment). Dex was rewarded a Green Star Medal for helping early on. Jericho asked if he could be Rune's honorary bodyguard, and she accepted. Everyone then went to celebrate at Culinary Medicine, Azazel's resturaunt. Gaven brought Torin's to him, then performed with Unity (whom Yamato offered to promote them multiplanetarily). After the celebration, Jericho restored the Lookout. Everyone then lived peacefully, with the fighters now knowing each other well.
Aiding the NLC[]
Now partnered with the NLC, Torin would serve as their go-to guy for information, weapons, or just straight-up advice on anything. He served a subtle existence but was actually quite involved in major conflicts, but always as a rogue (often not showing up until the midst of it all to save someone or something dramatic). Torin and Gaven would become particularly close mates, both sharing a sense of insecurity and intuitiveness. Torin often created gadgets, special energy foods (Torin's Edibles), or other helpful items for the warriors.
Trouble with Dexal (1503)[]
Three days after the NLC began training for Merkel Lars and studying up on the Underking, Gaven was on Nokai when sent to another planet to pick up a crystal for Yogi Rishi. While there, he took notice of a recent wanted poster for a man looking very similar to Torin. He took the poster on his way back to Earth. The next morning, Gaven took the poster to Torin. Torin examines the poster, knowing quickly that it is him. He decides to give the wanter what they want (just to see what it's about but nto really), and asks Gaven to travel with him to Planet Ghanjai as protection. They then take off there in his car. The giant city of Krose is eerie and abandoned. Armed aliens wait outside a random building when they land. Torin turns himself in in handcuffs with Gaven claiming to have 'retrieved' him. He's brought into a room, with Gaven kept outside.
Embial
Meanwhile, Kazion is in Supreme City eating ramen when he encounters strange powerful hooded agents and question them. They show him the poster asking about Torin. Kaz brings them and Traze to Ghanjai in his ship, where they are confused why. They then are alerted the 'wanted' is in custody already, to which they thank Kaz/Traze and promise a reward along with Gaven. Torin is brought in a room where he discovers it is Embial that wanted him, an old friend he fought in revolutions with years ago. Embial was bitter and selfish, wanting revenge on Torin for what almost killed him, by making him feel the pain of losing a close friend. He ordered Torin to be burned in a chamber by his armed men, to which Torin saw Gaven, Kazion, and Traze waiting for him outside and gave the signal to attack. Torin escaped the handcuffs and flew out, while the others attacked the men who were aided by powerful Embial. Kaz reformed his ship and they all fled after a Kamehameha blew the soldiers into nearby buildings. Embial watched as they left, promising revenge.
They arrived on the Lookout, where Torin said Embial was a powerful man with many connections and would likely be back soon. He left back home to study up on Dexal. Everyone else continued training for Merkel Lars and the upcoming universal tournament.
Wrath of the Underking (1503)[]
After all of the trouble, Torin decided to get more involved in the entire conflict against the Underking, as did everyone.
