When he recovered from the beating he went on a bloody rampage, butchering his masters household. after this he fled and changed his name to Darius so as to escape suspicion. he traveled till he came to the lands of Illyria and, under his newly acquired name joined up for the army. it was obvious from the beginning that Darius was destined to be a great warrior as his fighting prowess was unmatched. having fought in many battle he became a hardened veteran.
