Jeckyl Family

Dace

Founder of the family estate in Axtli, Talerium. He served as a good knight, always following orders and protecting his realm. He tried to learn mercantile skills, and for a short time was a trader. Unfortunately a few months later decided was unfit for military life, and took an early retirement.

Hexic - Sirion

When in fact brother to Dace, Hexic soon became a disgrace to the family name. After serving Sirion for only a day, deserted his post. He never came to the family mansion in Axtli. Some say he died to monsters or undead not long after his desertion. Dace never believed that to be the case. He knew his brother to be a capable and resourceful man, and would one day arrive in Axtli to greet his brother.

Hexic - Barony of Makar

Cousin of Dace and Hexic, his resemblance to Hexic the First was impeccable. Some claimed it was the same man. He served in the Barony military for a time, and later converted to priesthood. He retired early at the age of 24 as well. It was later disproven to have been the first Hexic. Dace swore his brother had a scar over his right eye, earned from sparring with Dace.

Rifter - Taselak

Half-brother of Dace and Hexic, Rifter was bloodthirsty. He chose the South Eastern Islands because of its reputation for combat. While in the service of Taselak, Taselak was facing a losing battle. Both Torn and Ikalak were pressing Taselak's frontlines. When they broke, Rifter decided to defect to Ikalak. as had become family tradition, he retired at the ripe old age of 25.

Rifter - Barony of Makar

Brother of Hexic of the Barony. He traveled to the Barony to fight alongside his brother. For a while they did. They got into a horrible fight and went their separate paths. Hexic became a priest, and Rifter became a hero. Rifter volunteered to be part of a small taskforce, led by the Executioner himself. He became Second-in-Command, and proved his worth when the Executioner was captured. When he heard his brother was retiring, he decided to as well.

Doctor - Three Brothers

The Doctors were all named such at birth by Dace. Dace had been fond of the story 'Doctor Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde'. His wife was not pleased. The Doctors however had no desire to become knights, and lived as adventurers. The first went to Beluaterra. The second to Dwilight. The third stayed close to home, going north to Darka.

Firstborn

He began his life of adventure in Enweil. Unaware of the laws, he engaged in dueling. This became his favourite activity. Soon his fines to the realm equaled more than he would ever be able to pay. He left, and joined Plergoth. After a short time he decided that dueling legally was not nearly as much fun as illegally. At this time Enweil had made dueling legal, so he decided he would join the next realm he came across that banned dueling. He then joined Avalon. Laws later reformed to make it neither legal, or illegal. He did not care, Avalon had become his home.

One day Doctor began receiving strange letters, reports of some kind. These were Region Reports! Reporting the status and changes within each region of Valhus! He could not comprehend what was going on, the courier had other letters for him too. But these were stranger yet - they were from various nobles, many of which he had never heard of. And as the courier was leaving, he bowed, and addressed Doctor as "General". Doctor glanced at the first paper he could find, and discovered that over night, he had been appointed General of Valhus. He thought to himself, there must be some mistake! He was no where near the capital at the time, and thought it would be the best place to find answers, so he set out at once. Upon his arrival, he was arrested. They never told him what he was being charged with, or even spoke to him, despite all his yelling and screaming that he was innocent, and had no desire to be General. After a day or two, he was brought to the town square, where Valhalla Valentine executed him.

Secondborn

Landing in Pian en Luries, Doctor made friends quickly with other adventurers. Nina Tai and Brandon. Doctor worked exclusively for the Duke of Giask, and Arbitrator of the realm, Ludovico Sforza. It did not take him long to find three unique items, to earn his knighthood. However, upon selling the third item to Queen Alanna, Doctor was arrested. Having neglected his lessons in Axtli, he did not understand the charges against him. As such he made matters worse for himself, which led to Ludovico ordering his execution. Doctor managed to escape and contact both Nina Tai and Brandon. Before he could board a ship in Swallowtown, he was arrested again and executed in Giask. He was 22.

Thirdborn

The youngest of the brothers, Doctor set himself to the service of Darka. He wanted to get away from home, but not too far. He got bored with his life of adventure, thought he could do something more. He set to work forging documents as a knight. He did not know if these documents would work or not, but he would try.

After completing his forgery, Doctor traveled to the Colonies, and joined the realm of Oritolon as a Trader. When the current banker stepped down, he announced himself for the position and was appointed Banker of Oritolon. Doctor tried since to support Hexic in his endeavors to save Everguard by sending him money when he could, until the time Hexic left Everguard and stepped down as High Commander. When Hexic was appointed Duke, Doctor resumed sending gold to the family whenever he could.

Hexic - Everguard / D'Hara

Son of Hexic from the Barony. When learning his cousin Doctor had been executed in Pian en Luries, he traveled to Dwilight looking for revenge. Upon arrival he learned that the gods themselves had struck Ludovico with a bolt of lightening. He had happened to land in Everguard at the time, and chose to stay. Over the years he gained much honour and fame, which earned his story its own chapter

Kaim - Outer Tilog/Oritolon/Giblot

An oddball of the family. He likes tea parties and kittens. No wonder he finds himself at home in Outer Tilog, in the Colonies. He is the son of Doctor in Oritolon (Third born). Because of Kaim's odd behaviour, he sent him to serve with other nobles of similar behaviour. Kaim has reported to his father that:

Currency is not gold but rather the hair of the Banker, Garm the Devourer. He is encouraged to hold tea parties. Literacy is illegal (Doctor's scribe has done the best he could manufacturing this document) His army has been given strict orders not to speak with allied troops. Eating kittens is legal.

When it appeared Outer Tilog was going to fall, Doctor asked Kaim to join him in Oritolon. Kaim accepted. Eventually Kaim decided to run for lordship, and won the seat as Baron of Windaria. He worked on subtle projects, such as establishing the Windaria Defensive Force, and participating in the Colonial Brethren. The Brethren was a group of individuals whom worked to bring a balance of power to the colonies. As such, they needed men in power, men such as Kaim. After a while though, Kaim found himself in a Wetham prison, after he committed acts of sabotage against them during a siege. He was able to escape, but by that time his seat of lordship and been granted to another, who was unwilling to yield it back to him. Feeling little justice, and he had been greatly disrespected, he left Oritolon to join Giblot. He would use this opportunity to act more freely for the Colonial Brethren, and perhaps recruit members from Giblot for the cause.
