Crimson Templar
A towering figure clad in crimson armor leads a hoard of undead to lay siege to a castle to gain entry and begin his revolution... A heretic stands upon the gallows stand in his black armor and crimson cloak and shouts to the people showing what is wrong with the world and as the guards come to stop him he jumps into the crowd as shadows fade around him as he now appears as nothing but a commoner and fades away from sight
Cause of change
Crimson Templars are revolutionaries and incite change either as moderates or extremists but they are often met with opposition and must often resort to more... "Unique" methods

Regardless you have an initiative that keeps you going maybe even a madness that something must be done and you are willing to get down and dirty...
