The Tyrant's Tranquilizer

Ethan Vance, the legendary warrior, was stabbed in the back by his closest ally at the peak of the final dungeon raid.

That's harder said than done when most of the population wants to kill you and that doesn't exclude the animals. Maybe he will find a way to survive and help the population recover? Maybe he won't?
