Drex Hollow

Sergeant of the 13th Company

Sergeant Drex Hollow is a man forged in silence and shadow—his past erased, his future bound in service. A grim and imposing figure, Drex rarely speaks, and when he does, it’s with the kind of weight that ends arguments before they begin. No one in the 13th Company of the Redeemed Legion knows the crime that earned him conscription—because not even Drex himself remembers it.

Before being assigned to Commander Tyranoth Redgast, the Dominion Church stripped Drex of the memories tied to his conviction. Only Redgast and a scarce few in the higher ranks of the Church hold the truth, and they keep it locked tighter than any vault. Rather than resist, Drex accepted his fate without protest. Whether out of acceptance, discipline, or a desire to start anew, he never sought the missing pieces of his past.

Within the 13th Company, Drex has earned a reputation as a relentless trainer and an unyielding presence. He shapes raw recruits into iron-willed warriors through grueling drills and brutal honesty. Though harsh, his methods are effective—those who survive his regimen emerge as some of the toughest fighters in the company.

Drex follows Redgast’s command with unwavering loyalty but walks his own internal path guided by a personal code that no one quite understands. To most, he’s a mystery wrapped in discipline, a figure both respected and feared. But among the rank and file, his silence speaks volumes, and his presence on the battlefield is as steady and dependable as a war drum.
