Le Craint Family/Emyhr le Craint

Emyhr le Craint is the current head of the le Craint Family. He grew up around his families home in Poryatu under the tutelage of his Grandfather Malcom le Craint and his father, Rawlin. He is the elder brother of Mariana le Craint, who became his main rival during his youth, the two of them fighting often and challenging each other to competitions of strength and intellect. Emyhr was the pride of the family, taking after his father and grandfather in almost every way, it was only natural that he would be the one that would secede his father and take over the mercenary company that the le Craint family operated. This came with the ire of his sister who promptly challenged him to a duel over who would become the head of the family. This resulted in Marianas loss but major injuries on both sides. Emyhr partially lost his eyesight in his right eye while Mariana's leg was left weakened.

Soon after Emyhr took over the mercenary company, the families power became known and was knighted within the realm of Luria Nova for his families service. He served under the banner of Luria Nova for 3 years, during which he was appointed Earl of Nid Tek and Vice-Marshal of Luria's Wrath. (OOC: See further down for more on Emyhr's time in Luria Nova.)

This all came to an end however after tragedy struck. During one of the later attacks on Luria Nova, Emyhr's home and family were killed by monsters using Nid Tek as both a target of slaughter and a movement point for further attacks. After these events, Emyhr moved away from Luria Nova in search of a new purpose. With the guidance and companionship of another knight [Greybrook Family|Solomon Greybrook] the two of them headed north. Their first and only stop north was in Sol. The two of them joined up with other like minded nobles and set out east to establish a presence within the lost western lands.

Luria Nova:

Emyhr's time in Luria nova was short, spending only 3 years of his early life as a knight and half a year as an Earl. However, during this time he experienced a lot while meeting many different people. Emyhr started to make a name for himself while in the main branch of the army. Working to fight back against the hordes, he became recognised as a respectable infantry commander. This came to fruition when he was appointed Vice-marshal of Luria's Wrath under Solomon Greybrook. The two of them working together to coordinate the efforts to repel the hordes. For a time, this worked well. However, as the attacks became more frequent this came to the breaking point.

Emyhr was a proud member of Ordo Leonis serving dutifully to uphold the standards and tenants of the order. However, the order slowly collapsed as the funding within regions and loss of regions put pressure on the order. Eventually, the order would cease to exist, however memories of such still survive, with hopes that maybe one day it shall return.

During his time, Emyhr would go on to meet and interact with many different people. His earliest encounter was a hunting trip organised by the then Emperor Aldrakar Renodin. He would have further encounters with the emperor, up until the events of intrigue struck the realm causing a dispute and loss of trust. During this period, Emyhr saw many different Emperors try to claim the throne. Throughout all of this, Emyhr remained loyal to his King Matthew Coffey and his liege Ciarghuala Dubhaine.

However, his peaceful time came to an end. During the last few days within the realm, Emyhr was struck with grief induced madness over the loss of his family. During this time, Emyhr and Solomon Greybrook planned and set off to the north in search of a new purpose.
