"Saint Hubbins Preserve Us."
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 three oldest sons were "encouraged" to join a fraternal religious order of silent monks. When Tarkas was younger, 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 now orphaned nephew.
The Patron Saint of the Galantos family is Saint Hubbins, also patron of well-crafted leathers and sturdy boots. The Galantoses follow the Way of the Warrior Saints; a series of Holy Tenets from the Father of Earth and Stone, as revealed by the Warrior Saints of Atamara. It is a small, obscure sect.
- 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 fourth son of Tarkas, and a green soldier. His "Redcloak" guards are as of yet untested in combat.
- The eldest son, Akbar, is making an extended pilgrimage abroad before taking the remainder of his priestly vows.
- Lexington is a knight in the realm of Giblot. He too, has been instructed to travel and see the world, before a lifetime of devotion in the cloisters.
- The orphaned cousin Bufort, (twenty years of age) has been traveling and studying outside of Eston since he was twelve, sent away from the family Estate due to his rambunctious ways. He has recently assembled his personal guard (the Darkhelms) in an attempt to become more industrious. He currently resides in Carelia.
