Lexus Cossus

A former soldier, Lexus had retired to a quiet agricultural community, and stored his past life in a trunk for two years. That is, until the monsters came into town. Shouting for his neighbour to help him with his armour, Lex mounted his horse and charged. People were horrified as the man they’d only seen reading books and nursing his ale deftly slaughtered the half-dozen invaders, then rode away. He’d just freed himself of his armour with the neighbour's assistance when the knock came at the door. Everyone wanted to know who he really was, and why he’d never told.
