Hagakure Family
The Hagakure Family
The Hagakure family, Originally from Pucallpa (East Continent) is a family of nobles who earned their money in the sheep and farming trade. The head of the family Naoshige married the lady Kannon and produced two children Mathros and Xena.
The Hagakure family was brought into disrepute early in Naoshige's life when he fathered an illegitimate son known as Yamamoto who was exiled across the sea. This was before his marriage to Kannon and the affair is not to be discussed.
Early Years
Mathros and Xena were originally both knights under Murphy Guardians the lord of Kazan and General of the Sultanate of Asena. When David Iron Heart stepped down as ruler of Asena Murphy ascended to the throne and Mathros became the baron of Kazan. [2011-03-05]
Murphy shortly died of a serious stroke and Asena was plunged into a series of rulers and bad luck; Alparson who was seriously ill and was unable to attend to his duties and Leandros Galvez who was killed in battle. This was a great blow to Mathros' hopes for Asena as Leandros was the first ruler that he felt had really taken Asena in the right direction. After this moment Mathros and also to some extent Xena began to become disillusioned with the realm as a whole. During the first few weeks of the reign of Tenya Vasata the general at that time Ghengis D'han was imprisoned in Stora by the Obsidion islanders. During this time Mathros was elected with a strong majority as General 2011-05-02 . However trouble in the realm made it increasingly difficult for him to do this job and he soon abandoned it and the realm. The Obsidion Islanders during this time took Kazan and a Sirion force had invaded Gadlock. Mathros was having trouble getting enough combat strength to fight these armies and the discipline necessary to move the armies when appropriate. After little more than a week Mathros stepped down from this position and decided to leave Asena along with his sister a decision greatly disliked [understandably] by the realm.
On the road Xena and Mathros parted company in Bruck wishing each other the best of luck as they felt their destinies lay in other realms. Mathros decided to join Westmoor while Xena opted to travel south and join the realm of Perdan.
Xena has since grown more prestigious than her brother Mathros being promoted as a knight and in army status in Perdan both for her reliability in troop movement and organisation of her archers on the field. Mathros settled into a lesser job as a knight of Evora in Westmoor.
Naoshige withdrew his support from Xena saying he had no respect for a daughter who joined an enemy of his homeland and his conversations in letter with Mathros have been known to be brief whom he felt should not have abandoned his post.
Mathros
Upon joining Westmoor Mathros secured a position as knight of Evora. However this all ended with the invasion of Evora by Caligus a week or so later. During this time Westmoor was under great strain as Sirion, Fontan and Caligun armies were all present on the borders seemingly ready to march straight into the heart of Westmoor. It was during this time that the king of Westmoor Flaylen was removed from power and Mathros was made a knight of Oligarch. At this time he started the printing of a newspaper named New westmoor which he is editor of currently.
Evora has since been retaken by Westmoor and the armies of Sirion and Caligus withdrew. Fontan was kicked out of Greatbridge by the westmoorian column all of which has been documented in the paper.
Xena
Xena Hagakure was involved in numerous battles in the south controlling mainly archers against Ibladesh. Due to having no current religion Xena felt unable to loot the temples of Ibladesh while in those lands unlike her comrades. This worked against her which meant she was unable to pay her men who deserted. On the way back to Partora Xena decided that soldiers were mere cowards who worked for nothing less than shiny pieces of metal. It was in this moment that she decided to become a warrior princess of infiltration. Soon after this she assaulted a knight of Ibladesh was caught and thrown into prison expelled and banned from Ibladesh. She has now learned her lesson and then underwent training in Partora.
She was shortly promoted to Vice Marshal of Perdan's lethal Panthers, and then quickly Marshal of the Perdan's lethal Panthers (being the only remaining member in it) hence the current nickname one woman army. Xena updates the standing orders dayly.
After being caught trying to stab a noble of Ibladesh, Xena was caught and shipped off to Atamara by the judge Robert Galvez a relation of Leandros mentioned above. In Atamara she joined the Cagilan empire and waged a war on hunger by burning food in Carelia. When she was captured and banned Xena under went some training in the capitol before moving up north to wage war on hunger in Darka. It was here that she was most recently stabbed, twice by another unknown infiltrator who was probably jelous or something. Having patched herself up with her bra she's now considering her next moves.
