Galantos Family

The Galantos Family are citizens of Hawthorne, and have been local to those lands for seven generations. There has not been a notable military member of the Galantos family in some time, although they have produced many fine, humble clergymen.

The current head of the family is Tarkas III, an elderly man of the most devout type. His four oldest sons were "encouraged" to join a fraternal religious order of silent monks. His older brother Borugar drank himself to death after abandoning his wife. Deeply ashamed of his brother, Tarkas strove to be even more devout, and took in his nephew, the orphaned Bufort. While Tarkas' true sons were immersed in religious study, Bufort had his run of the estate, raiding the wine cellar and stealing kisses from peasant girls. Tarkas sent him abroad as soon as he was able. Montague, on the other hand, studied hard and trained even harder.

The Patron Saint of the Galantos family is St. Hubbins, also patron of well-crafted leathers and sturdy boots.

Recently, Montague (the official heir to the titles and holdings of the Galantos family) has taken up arms to follow King Andrew of Eston onto the field of battle. He hopes to bring honor to the family colors. A lad of seventeen, Montague is the fifth son of Tarkas, and a green soldier. His "Redcloak" guards are as of yet untested in combat. The eldest son,Akbar, is travelling in the Far East, starting in Ansopen in the Sanctum of Casshern. He intends to spread the word of the Father of Earth and Stone abroad before taking the reaminader of his priestly vows. His cousin Bufort (twenty years of age) has been travelling and studying abroad since he was twelve, and has recently assembled his personal guard (the Darkhelms) to become more industrious. He currently resides in Carelia.
