When a once proud knight was relegated to a soldier after the Apocalypse and was eventually reborn as a Descendant, he made a promise to himself. He would never forget the past that plunged him into a bleak, hopeless perdition. In order to remember his true identity, he inscribed the tenet of the Order of Knights into his firearm, called it "Fallen Hope", and traveled from battlefield to battlefield. Due to the many victories it earned, even after its owner's death, the weapon made its way back to the Magisters and was studied for any special abilities. Upon analysis, it was discovered that this firearm had been modified several times using Vulgus ammunition and technology. The Magisters were surprised that an individual who could modify a weapon to this degree even existed. They optimized the crude modification components so other Descendants could use them as well.
