Nolan Wainwright's father was killed for revealing House Wainwright's Overlord Spear Style. He hid his identity, vowing to live as an ordinary man, but could not even afford a coffin for his father, and had to kneel on the street selling himself to bury his father. Zara Quinn paid for his father's burial, and he swore to repay her. When House Quinn was forced into a marriage by House Yates, Zara won all three rounds of the Martial Marriage Tournament only to be cheated by House Yates, who even gambled with military command authority. Nolan could no longer hold back, and for the first time revealed his Overlord Spear Style in public, breaking through three passes, defeating the head of House Yates, and completely invalidating the engagement. He enlisted in the Frontier Garrison under the alias Rhett Gray, proved himself time and time again on the battlefield, finally avenged his father and cleared his name.
