His Story so far
David began his career in the Sultanate of Asena. Unlike the patriarch's other children, David was raised in the east continent, where his mother's family lives. Initially, he was planning to leave the lands of Asena, but at the time the Marchioness of Pucallpa Catharaina Danlawer offered him an oath, and convinced him to stay. He fought in a number of battles, initially with the family retinue "The Iron's guard". He was also frustrated by some constant pickering within the Sultanate, and he made his dissapointment known by a public message. It did not take long for the outspoken knight to be promoted to the Lordship of Pucallpa, upon his liege's ascension to the ducal seat of Kazakh.
As Marquis, David had initial difficulties at stablizing the large region. He was later able to finally settle the town with the aid of his elder brother Joseph, who was by far the more skilled beuracrat. Among the Lord's early achivements was the establishment of the first generation of Asena's feared Archers centers "The Pucallpa's marksmen". They remained for a time the Sultanate's best archers, until the establishment of "Asena's Arrows" center at Oroya.
David soon disbanded his father's retinue, and replaced them with a unit of Pucallpan marksmen, and thus was born the "Arrows storm". This unit would serve the young Marquis in battle for a long time. Meanwhile, he managed to develop strong relation with his knights of Pucallpa Sir Gama Wader and Sir Edmund George
During the many battles that took place in the north, Pasha Apollyon requested three volunteers for raiding osslamar. The young David volunteered immediately, the attack was to take place during the day, few hours before the sunset. For some reason, none of his Asenian comrades showed up at Osslamar after sunset...
The young commander analyzed his situation, he was with his small Archers unit facing the palisades of Osslamar. Their was a unit of similar size cavalry garrisoning the fortification. The young Marquis decided to have his unit sneak to the top of the palisades, and attempt to shoot down the still mounted men. The plan was success, the "Arrows storm" has luckily managed to take the walls before the enemy, the riders defending Osslamar only realized it when a rain of arrows came down upon them. The heavy fire quickly forced the exposed men into retreat, before they could even manage a counter strike.
Words of David's lucky and well executed venture spread quickly throughout the Sultanate. Nonetheless, realizing that his situation would be hopeless in the chance that the cavalry chased his unit while retreating, he sent a letter to the Pasha, expressing both his disappointmen, and need for aid. The Pasha promptly moved with few others of the knights templars to his aid. Meanwhile, David has given his first looting order. His men seemed to enjoy it, but he didn't. However, having ordered his men to limit their targets to the tax offices, made him a little bit at ease.
Sirion's northern forces alarmed by this audacious attack, assembles at the north. They were not a big host, but enough to remove the small raiding party. At sunset, the Pasha arrived, a new battle ensued in the open, with the cavalry militia of Osslamar, resulting in another small victory.
Scouting Csopa, it appeared that the northern Sirion army was on the move, led by Duke Alexander of Parm. The Pasha and the young Marquis decided to retreat back to Caqueta. However, the Pasha having also ordered his men to loot, had no enough time to withdraw, especially taking the huge size of his unit into account. Everyone managed to safely retreat, but Pasha Appolyon's unit "Appolyon's arrows" was sadly cut into pieces.
