Ishimu Family/Igor

Having heard from his brother of the relative lack of action in CE, Igor decided to head to Ikalak, SEI to find some battles. It was a bit of a coincidence that he found the Prime Minister there, Maximus, to be a relative of his brother's mentor. Igor himself sought mentorship from Sponge, and started off with a unit of Infantry. Not too long afterwards, he decided that wish to follow the martial path to its extreme conclusion and become a Hero. He has since took part in many huge battles and has been injured a fair few times, possibly due to having an "unlucky" captain whose name has been struck from the family records.

The "unlucky" Infantry captain was such a curse that Tyr gave Igor some runes, which would eventually come back to haunt Igor when Tyr joined the underground and had his nobility questioned, long after the Infantry unit had been wiped out. (The remnants of that unit could have been ditched along with its captain instead, records are a bit hazy) Gossips about having been seen hunting with Tyr caused a sizable loss of honour and prestige.

He was a a knight of Ikalak City, originally pledged to Duke Edwin the Honourable. His long ranged archer unit suffered little loss in the campaign against Taselak City, allowing him to loot and stay in the field, thus rising up the ranks in the "Helmets" competition.

Since just before the betrayal of Ikalak by Duke Moonglum II of Sandalak, Igor had been commanding infantry. He had been using volunteers to bolster the ranks. At one point, more than half of a 30+ men unit were volunteers. Sadly, that's the only way to keep a well equipped unit as income has been decimated.

He also made a few attempts to get himself elected to a region lordship position, but to no avail.

Igor was killed in the Second battle of Korlok at Sunset, 13 September, 2007. His last action prior to the battle was to send his old mentor, Sponge, a scout report of Kietram.

It was a sad way to go. The outnumbered defenders sat behind the walls and Igor's unit simply took too many hits from the attacking archers.
