http://www.ptfighters.com/wiki/images/4/4c/Art_28.gifHistory:Raphael, the young master of the Sorel family, grew up with the rapier and medicine as his playmates. His cool, unemotional demeanor created many enemies, but his quick and precise decision-making and execution skills were prominent features of his family amongst the nobility. Unfortunately, Raphael made a critical mistake and killed an insane noble in self-defense--a noble supported by his family. His family cast him out of their household and even aided the town and marines in their pursuit of the murderer. Raphael hid himself in the town to escape from his pursuers. There he met a young girl named Amy who hid the weakened Raphael from his enemies. For Raphael, this marked the first time he had ever owed his life to someone else, causing him to feel emotions he had never experienced before--Amy became an irreplaceable presence in his life and he became obsessed with creating a new world for her to live in.
