Razer Turik is the first born son of Grackus Turik. Razer's true birth name is Alezander but he was given the nickname Razer at the age of six after attempting to shave out of curiosity and cutting himself deeply on the right side of his jaw. Razer's beard has never been able to grow over that scar. Razer has grown into a large man, tall and as big around as a large beer keg; this factor makes him easy to spot and hard to forget but has been an advantage in many a tavern brawl. Razer has never been afraid to voice his opinion annd regretably often acts before he fully considers the consequences.

Ureus Turik, the second born son of Grackus and younger brother to Razer by only a year, grew up as a quiet, thoughtful individual; quite different from his older brother. Ureus was a quick learner growing up and was always eager to study. Incredibly intelligent and devious, Ureus became a master of strategy and tactics, easily making up for his lack of obvious physical strength, which his older brother had plenty of.

Ureus was sent to Oligarch on the East-Continent to fulfill a mission. Ureus' grandfather, Joran, had made a trip to Oligarch after his retirement from the Redspan militia and had been imprisoned and banned shortly after arriving. Joran had never been a shining hero of the family, in fact he was rarely spoken of due ton the dishonor he had brought the family and he had a taste for taking things that didn't belong to him. He was caught robbing the tax offices in Oligarch city and was harshly punished for it. Joran also had an incredible sense of pride however, like every Turik, and after having it wounded through his capture and subsequent punishments, Joran became determined to see Oligarch suffer.

Ureus was assasinated in Old Rancagua on the east continent while on his way home to Redspan after his realm mates in Oligarch discovered that he had been a member of the underground rebellion and had plotted to ruin Oligarch even before Oligarch's fall to the alliance of Fontan and Sirion. Ureus had been manipulated into joining the rebellion by his grandfather, Joran, who had held a grudge against the Oligarchians since his younger days.

Joran knew he was too old to fight anymore so he went to his favorite grandson, Ureus and charged him with his impossible task. Joran told Ureus false stories about his experiences in Oligarch and indoctrinated the young man into believing that Oligarch was nothing but evil. Growing up as a loyal and loving child, Ureus was one of the few who was able to look past his grandfather's faults and loved the old man dearly. When Joran died, Ureus, Wanting only to see his grandfather avenged took up his sword and a small contingent of men and travelled to Oligarch. Once there, Ureus joined the underground of Oligarch and worked to destroy Oligarch from the inside.

The Turik Family

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e333/king_dicky27/Turikfamilycrest1.jpg

A History

The Turik Family is young when compared to many Atamarran Families and was founded by Patrus Turik,a horsebreeder from Bolgar. Patrus was knighted for his bravery and ferocity as a warrior after banding together with an unruly group of lesser nobles and farmers to defend the borders of Bolgar from a monster invasion. Patrus fought as viscously as any Knight of Redspan against the advance of the Beastman herd, driving the gruesome halfbreeds away from a nearby town and then to the banks of the River Yuella, where the last of the beasts were finally slain.The descendants of Patrus Turik have proudly worn his name ever since.

The Turiks have continued the tradition of horsebreeding and have provided some of the best cavalry horses that Redspan has ever ridden into battle. The Turik farm has always been modest and the family has never been the wealthiest or most well known but they have always been strong and they have never strayed in their devotion to Da Way.

The Family Crest was adopted after Patrus Turik's passing. The Golden Lion is a tribute to Patrus' bravery while the heraldic blue stripe to the Lion's right represents the River Yuella. The field of black upon which the crest stands was chosen as a symbol of mourning for the passing of the Family's patriarch. The Family's motto, Ne Obliviscaris, is written in the old tongue and means "Forget Not".
