Grancourt Family

The Grancourt Family are a relatively new family to the World of Battle Master. Granted nobility by King Kronos of Carelia, the respectable Map Writers put their two children through the Academy to become Knights. Originally from Clyderee in Atamara, they own a small estate in the countryside, tucked away on the edge of a forest with wild boar and hogs aplenty. They have never known poverty - but at the same time are not the richest family around, and would like to have their name known throughout the various continents.

The eldest: Laurie Grancourt took to the bow and arrow pretty quickly, while the youngest: Thrydwulf was always more interested in horses.

Laurie Grancourt

Laurie Grancourt was born in the Grancourt estate as a home birth. He has always a dark child - with dark hair and dark green/brown eyes. He has a caring nature, but a strong silent side at the same time.

While he always will be there to talk to when a shoulder is needed, he never mixes work and play, and is very meticulous about his work. He does not drink full-stop, and believes this helps him keep a clear head, and be on-top of his enemies, and indeed in close command of his unit.

He married Beatrice Berntsen at his home after bringing her back from a short trip to the Northern regions before his coming of age. It was a childhood crush, and developed into a blossoming relationship soon after Laurie's integration into the Army of Carelia.

Despite being on different continents their marriage is still strong - surprisingly, most of their letters have survived the ferry crossings between the continents.

His aspiration is to become an infiltrator and work undercover for his beloved realm Carelia. He is looking forward to Carelia taking back their regions currently being held by the Cagilan Empire, and to visit his family home in Clyderee once more.

Beatrice Grancourt

Beatrice Grancourt fell in love with Laurie when she met him at a small tournament for people not come of age somewhere in the northern territories. She is dark haired with pale skin, and bright blue eyes. She is very caring, and always willing to do the best for everyone around her. She is always thinking about somebody else, and sometimes forgets to think about herself.

She takes her job seriously, and as the recently appointed General and Judge of Joppo in Beluaterra she has a lot of people to look after; as well as Baroness of Suuk - but it's what she likes doing best! She strives to be an important role in the lives of a lot of people, and this is part of the reason she has moved away from her husband Laurie. With passion running through her veins, she will probably aspire to be a Hero someday - atleast in the eyes of the people around her.

Someday she hopes to return to her husband, or for Laurie to come and visit her. There is a problem though, because Thrydwulf and Laurie don't get along too well.

Thrydwulf Grancourt

Thrydwulf Grancourt was always the younger brother. He was always under his brother Laurie's shadow while he was growing up, and as a result, he decided to move to the East Continent as soon as possible. Seizing his chance, he joined the warrior realm of Perdan to start his military training.

He is much lighter than his brother, with almost fair hair and deep brown eyes. Whilst he doesn't get along with Laurie too well - this is only an example of "Brotherly Love". He is passionate, and always does his best, whatever the situation. There is nothing more he likes than to join his unit around the bonfire, singing songs until they fall asleep.

Like his brother, he does not drink, also believing that a clear head is better than a bit of "Dutch Courage". He has always had a love for animals, especially horses, and aspires to be a Cavalier someday.

He is currently in the realm of Heen, but he wishes to be home again in Perdan, and maybe give up his place to his older brother, and reunite him with Beatrice as a gesture of good will.
He is a Knight of Kif, under his liege Erin. This is their banner:

Charlotte

Charlotte is a pretty little thing, but very unfortunate. Growing up as a child, she was always very honest and hard working, however, the local priest took a slight fancy to her. This turned into an emphatuation. He could not stop thinking about her, dreaming about her, fantasising about her. He soon began to think that she was teasing him - the way she moved, her pretty features - and began to kid himself into believing she was bewitching him. Priests of course are not allowed to think impure thoughts, and she was the cause of all of his.

He finally had her banished from Clyderee, still a young child. She has been scarred ever since. Her life now is a rough one, an adventurers life, a commoner. She is nothing in anybody's eyes. Her one and only wish is to be reunited with her dear family, and be considered under their name again. She will do anything she can to make this happen.

She is currently in the Far East, belonging loosely to the realm Soliferum. She is unsure where her dreams lie, and is content to wander for now.
