Mithridates Family

Background

The Mithridates Family is an ancient, yet quite unknown house. It's founding is rather obscure, but it is told that a wealthy merchant by the name of Gustav used much of his wealth in order to purchase land in Dolmbar that the families ancient estate sits on now. Thus the Mithridates clan was formed. Over the years various descendants of Gustav I occupied the land that he had bought and slowly they expanded it. In modern times it is still a fairly small estate, lying at the end of a long dirt road it is nestled in the ancient boughs of the forests of Dolmbar. They make most of their profit from selling lumber and from the wine fermented in their own cellars.

The current head of the Mithridates clan is Gustav III.

Norcross

Introduction

A tall and handsome man. He has short-cropped obsidian black hair and tight assessing gray eyes. His nose is hawkish in it's features and his face looks as if it was chiseled from a chunk of stone.

The eldest of son of Gustav III. As a young man he was rash and stubborn. Growing up he constantly would disappear for weeks at a time, only to appear with bruises and bloodstains speckled on his garments. He eventually became a apprentice ranger to a local militia in Dolmbar, however he quickly grew bored of tracking wolves and protecting livestock. Even the occasional monster or undead spotting he soon found to be tiresome. One night he broke into a verbal fight with his father, accusing his father of apathy towards the war that Sirion had fought for so long. The next day he left the estate, forsaking his claim to it. By the end of the month he was seen boarding a ship to the far Western continent of Dwilight, intent on making the name of Mithridates mean something more than that of minor noble merchant house.

Brand

Introduction

The second eldest son of Gustav III. A dry and silent man. He prefers the company of books to that of other people. Growing up he took a keen interest in his fathers book keeping and business. At the age of 16, his father expected him to take over the business when he was older, Brand shocked him by stating that he wished to set forth and explore the world while he was still young. A year later he set off towards the docks of Avamar and took a boat to the west to the lands of Atamara.

In Atamara he found a liege in Carelia who would take his oath. He stayed here for awhile, but not long. The land seemed old, but full of pointless and futile wars over the smallest of matters. Hearing whisperings of a new invasion of monsters in the lands of Beluaterra, he quickly made his way to a dock and left behind the lands of Atamara.

Arriving in the realm of Sint, the nobles there quickly offered him a position. Eager to see and hear of the news, Brand was soon disappointed in his learning that the battles were far from Sint. He soon learned that the people of Sint were allied in a way to the Daemons of the north through some religion. Perking his interest, Brand took the initiative to join this religion and to learn more. He learned little however. He participated in a few battles against minor threats to the land and briefly with one of Sint's neighbors. But he quickly grew disquieted by the nature of Sint's pact with the daemons and the quietness of the news coming from Firbalt. Returning to that city, he set to studying the history of the realm and the nature of the relationship. In his scholarly interest, Brand forgot to pay the men of his unit. Soon after he found himself tied up and beaten by his own men who then robbed him. Shamed and growing sick of this land and others, Brand decided to return to his home of Sirion.
