Kalamar Throx- backstory

Kalamar Throx- the beginning
Kalamar grew up a happy boy. His parents provided a modest life which allowed the young lad to grow relatively free of the harsh realities of life in Norkatome. Kalamar soon took to sport at a fairly early age. Although not strong, nor bulky, he could learn quickly, especially anything physical. He wasn't the best student, but he could apply what he learned to real life quicker than any of his friends. He also excelled at applying his strengths to any situation to ensure his success. Most of his classmates liked him, but one particularly strong boy, Prosse, saw him as a threat. Prosse began to chide him in class then challenge him before and after school. When Kalamar outwitted Prosse, the big boy beat Kalamar in front of a large gathered group of peers. For the rest of the year, Kalamar's life was miserable.
          Kalamar's mother, a beautiful woman who followed the teachings of the Mighty Man Manual, taught him throughout his childhood the Way and how to be a great man. In adolescence, he turned away because of his problems with Prosse. His mother never stopped believing in her son. She encouraged him to get stronger during the harvest break, for she knew what it would take for her son to regain his confidence. During this six month respite from formal school, his growth spurt began. For once in a long while, Kalamar listened to his mother and strong he became.
          One spring morning still feeling the gnawing cold of ebbing winter, Prosse met Kalamar on the way to school. Looking Kalamar directly eye to eye, Prosse's fear gripped his heart. He swung with all his might. Kalamar batted it away with ease. Astonished, Prosse swung again. Kalamar ducked and rose with an upper cut that flattened Prosse on his back in the dust.
          Kalamar learned the wrong lesson that cold morning. Instead of trial by combat establishing justice, he learned that might makes right. As soon as he graduated he joined the Red Army as served under his father, General Albast Throx. His abandonment of the Way secured, he climbed quickly through the ranks of the Red Army, much to the pleasure of his father. Kalamar was prompted to general during the golden age of the Red Army. He was also in the final battle that saw the infamous army wiped from the face of Ekana.
