The Old Warrior was the teacher of the village where No-step-back!, the heroine of Slave Pits, grew up, in the north of the Star Worshippers Empire. At least that's how she named him, and little more is known about his past. But his prowess in combat and being one of the Masters of the True Worshipper's proto-society indicates he was someone of importance in the past.[1]
In Slave Pits (2503)
Among the True Worshippers, the best warriors are expected to act as teachers and masters of the rest, the most revered position in their society. The Empire calls the Old Warrior's preachings heresy, and uses them as an excuse to attack the northern villages.[2]
Is unclear how much the heroine of Slave Pits trained under his guidance: if she just did the regular farmer mandatory practice or caught his attention. Once enslaved, his lessons are all she has left. Some of them can be remembered during the game:[3]
into a fighter?
Only the will to fight
can only transition you
till your end
Fighting with a purpose
can transition you
to its end
Even long after
your last combat...
like the first one
And you will never
be really defeated...
Legacy
After his pupil's death, revenge fuels the teachings of the late Old Warrior, and the whole north rebels against the Empire.[4]
