After many years of studying he was selected to be a scholar for an advisor to an unknown emperor. After a few months of working with this advisor, the emperor and the advisor had dispute. Recognizing if he should side with the advisor he would eventually be killed; Thornwood made a plan. After a secret meeting with the emperor, Thornwood decided he would off the advisor during the autumn festival. After much planning and a few bribes, the time for the advisor's death had arrived. With a flick of Thornwood's wrist, an executioner came from behind the advisor and lopped his head off with an axe. A few people screamed, but were quickly quelled at the sudden amount of money placed in their laps.

After this Thornwood served the Emperor for many years quelling rebellions, cheating cheaters, and killing those who disobeyed the crown. It was a bloody time in that empire's history.
