Forum:Dorvok, the Lightblade

''”Long ago, I was but a mere servant to a dark god. No more. No longer shall I be a soldier, carrying out the deaths of millions. No longer do I worship a formless evil. Now, I am of the Light.”''—Dorvok.

Dorvok, the Lightblade is a Warlock, and the very first Guardian to be a Hive. He was formerly a member of the now-extinct Spawn of Crota before his death and resurrection on the Moon. He is partnered with the Ghost Peri.

Past Life
Before his life as a Guardian, Dorvok was once a champion of the Spawn of Crota, who at the time had become more active and made preparations to resurrect their master, Crota, Son of Oryx. As the Hive assaulted the House of Exile on the Moon in order to prepare for their master’s return by exterminating the invading Fallen, Dorvok was one of many that participated in the raids. At some point, he was confronted by a Warlock named Sean Reeves, and was killed following a short duel, his ashen remains being left in a cave, abandoned.

Resurrection as a Guardian
Sometime following the Red War and the defeat of Val Ca'uor, a lone, unnamed Ghost would be wandering the lunar surface, evading the Hive and Fallen. She would end up being pursued by a squad of Hive that wanted to claim her, and fled into a convenient nearby cave. She discovered the remains of the Knight, and restored it to life as her Guardian.

The newly-awoken Hive Warlock had to fight his way through the swarm of Hive outside with nothing but the sword that was found with him, and escaped into hiding, finding a different location to settle down in while he gained his bearings. He would also talk with his Ghost for a while, who would go on to explain everything he needed to know about the Hive, their dark powers, what they had done, their hatred for the Light, etc. He was rather disturbed by it all. Eventually he decided on a name for his Ghost: Perihelion.

The Knight rarely left his little hideout, mainly to avoid having to deal with any more Hive or Fallen. On the rare occasion he was forced to wander out in the open, he would see Guardians patrolling nearby, and they would always react with hostility and aggression, trying to kill him whenever they saw him. He grew used to living alone overtime, wanting nothing to do with other people.

Sightings of Dorvok were reported to the Last City, and some Guardians patrolled the Moon to look for him. Overtime, though, he would come out a lot less, and eventually somehow managed to acquire a Jumpship and fled to Earth with it.

Gameplay
Dorvok uses the Dawnblade subclass, taking flight into the air with Solar wings and bombarding enemies with fire from his sword. The Dawnblade sword Dorvok uses is shaped like a Hive Cleaver. For weaponry, Dorvok uses a Hand Cannon, a Shrapnel Launcher he acquired from a Captain he killed, and an Arc Sword.
