Bio: The Pretender is yet another one of those blasted HRM (Human Resistance Movement) terrorists, that has found a way to legitimize his genocide by allying with the Brotherhood of Mercenaries. I do hope this article will be enough to bring to light the true dastardly nature of these fear mongers. The Pretender is nothing more then a maniac and assassin that targets the innocent elves and is on a personal quest to bring this race to extinction, he has been serving the HRM for many a decade and has personally killed countless elves during his time within their ranks. This hunter doesn’t seem to discriminate between civilian and military targets and will bring  his special brand of justice to those undeserving of his racism and hatred.

         Why the Pretender does what he does is unknown as he has managed to keep his nose clear from any reporter and his past is clouded in mystery, so do to this we have no direct evidence on why he has become someone so filled with hate that he will partake in blatant genocide and reignite the fires of the holocaust. This man is pure evil, and he changes his appearance like one changes their underwear, so keeping tabs on what this man looks like is going to be hard. This does explain why he is virtually a ghost and their isn’t much out there about him to report on, the Pretender seems to use two specific types of assassination techniques. The first is the traditional where he stalks his pray like a hunter stalking a deer, once he is prepared to make a strike he does with such speed and grace that his target never has a chance to retaliate and is normally killed so quickly that they don’t even know they are already dead. Their are reports of his victims still speaking for a few minutes after they have been struck by the Pretender, though normally it’s only a few seconds. One report indicates that an elven child was struck down so quickly that when his severed head saw his own body and his parents sobbing the severed head started to tear up before death.

         Though his second form of assassination is even more maniacal, the Pretender will use fear and his natural grace for public speaking to his advantage. This man will rally a large group of citizens do to his dirty work for him, through the use of the spoken word, he will incite a violent riot through the use of propagated fear. Once he has the people emotionally manipulated he unleashes them onto his targets, blaming them for a murder or act of terror that he has already performed. This will send the citizens on a bloodhunt for the intended target and keep his hands clean of any wrong doing. Though the Pretender is already guilty, this doesn’t matter to him and all he is concerned about is the bottom line. This man will swoop in create fear and terror than leave before the smoke settles, leaving a settlement in panic and on a warpath to remove the elves within their boarders. Leaving it up to the local authorities to attempt to settle down the angry and scarred citizens. This man is a master of propagating fear and he knows exactly how to ignite the fires of hate through exploiting the natural xenophobic tendencies inside all of us. This is what makes the Pretender so dangerous, he creates a divide and does psychological damage to the innocent to spread his bigotry and hatred through the citizens like a wildfire.

         Also what makes this man dangerous is his ability to change roles and blend into any group, this man is a legendary thespian and highly educated so these skills allow him to manipulate anyone at anytime. He will then use the people as his sword and have innocent citizens commit cold blooded murder for him without realizing they are just another character in his grand play. This man will not stop till either he has killed off the last of the elves or he is brought down, for the Pretender will never yield and allow himself to be captured. So be prepared for a fight, since all of these HRM snakes are all masters of combat and have no remorse or soul left in their bodies.

       This man is also a mercenary for the Brotherhood and this makes him even more dangerous, since he could be very well scripting another drama and his cast of characters are just the innocent minds of the mercenaries he is working with. The Pretender seems to be doing well inside this agency since he does hold an officer rank and is well liked, this is a strategy of the Pretender he portrays himself off as just another old man, that is overly friendly and cheerful. He is very charismatic and it is easy to mistake his kindness and generosity for friendship, this is far from the case for the Pretender he is just using people and once you are no longer needed he writes you out of his script. This killer needs to be stopped before he causes anymore damage to the elven people and before he brainwashes even more innocent citizens and know mercenaries with his zealot nature and hatred.

        Be very careful when dealing with the Pretender, his combat abilities are off the charts, though his social skills are far more deadly. This man can manipulate anyone into doing anything, he can turn a simple citizen into a zealot blindly following him. He can warp the minds of enter crowds and turn them into a warring violent mob of bigots and racists. He has even been able to evade the police through using these very skills, so with the Pretender his words and pen are far mightier then his sword, though don’t ever underestimate his skills with the blade. If you come in contact with the Pretender contact the Police or Federal authorities immediately, do not sit down with him for a drink, don’t share a meal with him, basically don’t do anything that will give this man to plant the seeds of doubt into your mind. Remember even the strongest of minds can be shattered by this man, he is a master of the spoken word, psychologically trained and a master of invoking emotions. He would be a great motivational speaker if he wasn’t a bastard and a terrorist bent on genocide. So you have been warned, the Pretender is yet another snake in the grass and this snakes bite is very lethal, just avoid him if you come in contact, if you suspect you are in the presence of the Pretender excuse yourself and go seek law enforcement.
