Iron Jim Flint

Legend and life and have a strange way of intertwining when heroes pass.
These men whose deeds were magnified in life fade like dimming stars as
memory and fate conspires to weave them into the fabric of history, left to
the forgetful halls of past triumphs and victories uncelebrated.
There are others whose deeds are destined to resonate like a tolling bell, a
beacon of freedom amongst the gathering darkness: Iron Jim Flint was such a
man.
Jim Flint was born a slave on the Western continent, an illegitimate child
of a slave in the Emperor's palace. He was abandoned to an uncertain fate:
the high and the mighty have no time for the insignificant and care not for
oppressed but Io the creator god and seer of all things lowered his hand and
bestowed on him the mark of destiny.
Blessed by divine favour Jim Flint quickly learned to lead men in the fight
for freedom and self determination; by the time he was sixteen he had
already taken from the Emperor his most valuable possessions and put them
beyond his reach. In his twenties he became a scourge of the high seas as an
implacable and unbending foe of dictators and tyrants.
His zenith came far from the Western continent in Magrea where he humbled
its king by stealing his throne, his wealth and ruining his palace. He
brought Lolth low preventing the vile practice of human sacrifice, sought
justice for the victims of Wee Jas, shook sense into the power hungry
followers of Boccob and found freedom for the oppressed.
Then at his peak, before time could dim him, Io called him back to fields of
Elysium to remain a symbol of all that is good and free.
