Doyung

Doyung was a Stratus Army General serving the royal family in Highland Central. He was deeply loyal to Prince Sogun and Princess Solaan, serving with a strong sense of justice.

He was a long time friend of Snapjaw Chieftain Hammerjaw.

History
Thirty years prior, Doyung lived in Highland Central with his wife, Lee Sunghui, and his son, Doyuhan. However, during the mysterious event that caused demons and Dark Chi to flood the city, he ordered his forces to contain the darkness within the city. He took citizens to the Highland Refuge hoping to get them to safety, but realized that there was no escaping the Dark Chi. Seeing the dire situation, he saw no other choice but to kill everyone tainted by Dark Chi, including his own wife. He entrusted his son to Stratus Officer Hojao, hoping that his son would make his way to safety.

He made his way to the Highland Gate where they asses the best way to fight back and contain the darkness until help can arrive. There, he met with a Brightstone Soulstone Cutter named Gibong, who informed him of a strange ritual which required a vast amount of Soulstones. Not entirely sure of the details, it appeared that the ritual when wrong, opening a gateway through which demons poured into the city.

Despite not being entirely sure of the Prince and Princess's involvement in the matter, he felt duty bound to find them and help them no matter what. He asked one of his soldiers to scout ahead to the ritual site while he finishes business at the gate.

Within the Royal Treasury, he was relieved to hear that the Snapjaw Tribe have come to their aid and that the Four Guardians had been summoned. Until then, he took a soldier with him to search for the royal family within the treasury. Doyung and the soldier met with Chieftain Hammerjaw who was glad to see his friend. However, Doyung revealed that he had been tainted a while back and began to succumb to the Dark Chi. Dying, he asked the soldier to go seek the prince and princess in his stead.

Doyung asked Chieftain Hammerjaw to end his life with dignity. By the time the soldier returned, Doyung was already dead.
