The Von Neuman family originates from Ammersfield, in the Colonies. The half brothers Victor and Garren both serve their home realm of Giblot. A cousin Owen serves the Cagilan Empire in Atamara.


Victor

Victor is in his early twenties. He is often rash, a dedicated over-achiever, and somewhat stuffy. He thinks himself a hero, or at least a cavalier. Victor is currently a knight of Giblot in service of the Duke. He served briefly as the ceremonial Baron of the Steepglades so he is technically a Lord.

Though Victor is not terribly religious, his keen sense of honor is greatly offended by the Apostles of the Abyss. Though he generally considers looting and burning below his station, he has mentioned that he might make an exception for a temple dedicated to the worship of the darkness.

Garren

Garren is the younger half brother of Victor. When Victor was born, his mother died in childbirth. Vincent Von Neumann then wed his wife's sister and conceived Garren. Thus the brothers are also first cousins. Garren is the far more level headed of the two, and yet more whimsical. Garren is the consummate little brother, never failing to goad Victor when he might. Garren has sworn fealty to the Duke and has established his estate in Giblot.

Poetry

Wounded in Hilly Holes in his first battle ever, Garren upon waking wrote a poem as follows:

There once were some Tilogs in Hilly Holes
Who sold to the beast their eternal souls
Then came brothers of Ammersfield
Who bested them on the field
And now the fiends probe Tilog's many holes

Owen

Is the son of Richard Von Neumann, the eldest brother of Vincent. This first cousin recently acquired a small ranch in Hidale which specializes in the breeding of war horses. Owen was once swayed by Lady Kylaine Vita and the Naicatoism she preaches, though he now wonders if the whole affair was simply the product of something she slipped into his drink. Owen serves the Empire by marching with the Calis Lions.
