Background
Ril Vindus was born to Hestor Vindus. His mothers identity is as of yet unknown, but he has been accepted and cared for by his step mother Niela Vindus. Ril was born a bastard and was reminded of it as often as possible by his father. He was provided for by his father and stepmother, but never accepted. Ril did have, and continues to have, a close relationship with his Uncle Ergos Vindus and his Aunt Trillia Vindus. A few years ago, his half brother, Vance Vindus, who was Hestor's pride, joy and heir, disappeared. Shortly after Hestor Vindus' health began to rapidly deteriorate. This prompted Hestor to name Ril his heir, bestow upon him the status of a noble and send him off as a troop leader so that he could “learn the ropes”. However, Hestor has never stopped hoping that his favored son, Vance, would return so that he would have a proper heir.
Ergos Pedes
The Ergos Pedes is a well trained infantry unit led by Ril Vindus. It is named after Ril´s mentor and uncle, Ergos Vindus, and the word "Infantry" in the old tounge (Pedes).
Background
The Ergos Pedes was formed on the 15th of September 2006. It originally consisted of four men from the milita of Ril´s father (Hestor Vindus), 13 men from the personal guard of Ril´s uncle (Ergos Vindus) and Ril´s cousin (Ergos Vindus´ son). On the same day of the troop´s creation, Ril added a healer and a bannerman to the roster. On September 16th of 2006 Ril added a three man scouting unit to the troop. On the 18th of September 2006, while refitting in Cagil, Rill added a cart and driver as well as seven men from Shaun's Shields (originally from Lakota) to the troop.
Organization
