Vindus Family

Family Overview

Despite being an older Family, it is interesting to note that for most of its history, the Vindus family was rather unremarkable. The Vindus family was not rich or poor. I never did anything to distinguish itself. It was never renown for its honor or lack thereof. In fact, it was almost boring enough to be known as such. Then the family began to shrink. Less were born and more died until the Vindus Family consisted only of one man, his wife and their children. Then they betrayed the Empire.

The Vindus family, under the leadership of Dreider Vindus, had resorted to selling sensitive Imperial information to the enemies of the Empire. Even worse, the Vindus family had been found guilty of murdering several prominent nobles in exchange for foreign gold. In response, the Empire stripped the Vindus family of its noble status, wealth and then all living members where executed. The only person to escape death at the hands of the Empire was the bastard Arathorn Vindus, Dreider´s youngest son.

Many years later, Arathorn Vindus joined the Imperial army. He managed to distinguish himself through hard work and determination showing a steadfast loyalty than few could match. During this time he managed to bring new honor to the family name and even managed to convinced the Empire to restore the Vindus family´s noble status. Since the family´s restoration, it has repeatedly shown itself to be loyal to the Empire.
