Boros Punisher (4e Theme)

Boros Punisher

Clad in shining armour and fueled by righteous zeal, the soldiers of the Boros Legion take up steel against the corruption and lawlessness that gnaw at the world. Combining the force of law with the military strength to back it up, the Boros work to forge cities into just societies; safe and healthy communities for all. However, the Boros Legion's ardent determination to thwart evil can also be their downfall from an outsiders perspective. The Boros Legion is defined by the tension between its goal of establishing order and harmony and the fiery zeal that drives many of its members. Ironically, this means that individual members sometimes break the rules they are charged with enforcing, cleaving to the spirit of the law when the letter no longer serves justice. A Boros Soldier won't think twice about trespassing property if in pursuit of a criminal, nor would a Boros Soldier think twice about interrogating an innocent for information on a wrongdoer. As a Boros Punisher, you strive to protect the innocent and powerless from oppression and exploitation. At the same time, you are passionate about the pursuit of justice, spurred by your righteous wrath into action against evil and injustice.
