Pike Family/Jacob

History

Jacob Pike is the younger brother to Harriman Pike. When it was finally Jacob's his time too leave the family home in Leers he decided he did not want to live in the direct shadow of Harriman. If Jacob was going to make a name for himself he wanted wanted to make it based on his deeds in a realm and did not want to compete with his brother. Harriman told him that Hammarsett was a growing realm in need of good knights. Harriman had some good friends up there and Jacob would be sure to have a good place to prove himself and grow. Jacob felt that it was acceptable while he was gaining his position because the people knew his brother it was far enough away from him that they should not be compared and it would not be said that Jacob relied on his brother for help. Once there he become a knight in service to King Regulus in the region of Cheltenborne. The first thing Jacob did when he got to his new estates was to enlarge them so they could better serve Regulus. After a short period of time he marched to Crahandan to help bring it under Hammarsett's control.

Unit

Jacob recruited this infantry unit after he lost his unit due to accidentally allowing his previous unit's moral to drop to low. Captain Jurgen joined when the first batch was recruited which was a great surprise. It was a bit unexpected but seems his skills where not to great so it seemed to be a good match that both the captain and the commander both where a bit experienced. The was formed from men who lived in the area of Shanandoah the capital of Hammarsett. Once again the troops where about as green as the commander so they where a perfect match for each other.
