Verton

"Crota will be slain, as Atheon has."

- Verton upon discovery of Crota

Before the Collapse - Rebellion against the Fallen
Verton was born in an unknown location on Earth. During the collapse, the Fallen swarmed the Earth killing millions of its residents, humans. Verton, a researcher and intellectual, organized a rebellion using para-military forces to attack the Fallen. After a few successful ambushes and sabotages, the Fallen would not stand aside any longer. They sent an elite to kill Verton and end his rebellion, Riksis the Devil Archon. In the rebellion headquarters, as Verton planned more strategic maneuvers to attack the Fallen, Fallen dregs planted explosives.

When the crackling sound of explosions set off throughout the headquarters, Verton immediately took cover in a secret compartment under the table. Fallen dregs and vandals swarmed the building, scavenging stolen intelligence and mercilessly killing anyone they could find. Riksis teleported from his skiff and walked through one of the giant holes in the wall. He slowly walked, every footstep firing fear and anxiety into the hearts of the survivors. Riksis tore off the door to the command room with his bare hands. Nobody was inside, however Riksis was an esteemed commander with several decades of experience. He knew exactly where to look to find his target.
