Noble Family/Elijah

Elijah preparing for battle Elijah Tal Kestrel is the twin brother of Kurecalle. Born to the ill fated lovers, Kureshtal, Royal Treasurer of Wetham, and Innocent, Dictator of the Assassins. Early in his life his Kureshtal feared for the lives of her children and in a fateful choice walked away from Innocent and married Wolfgang, king of Wetham. Kureshtal did this in order to secure the safety of the twins but the choice left Elijah's father a broken and empty man. For many years Elijah's life was perfect and he and his sister grew up not knowing anything beyond the carefree life of most children. Then when Elijah was seven his hero Chault was killed in a battle in Hulaferd and suddenly a young boy found himself disillusioned and without a mentor. A few years later, at age of nine, Elijah was sent to be a squire for Wayslis, Baron of Frundi. A friendship grew between the two but always there was something distant about the young man, as if life around him was holding its breath, waiting for something to happen. Forced by fate and the misperceived scorn of some nobles in Wetham Elijah, like his father Innocent, wandered the lands of the colonies for many years in the bad lands between Lukon and Wetham before finally heeding the urge to find comfort in the family of the Assassins. A young noble, driven to claim his birth right and driven by a past he does not understand but cannot escape. Elijah struggles to find the inner peace and calm confidence that his father is said to have once had before his heart was broken. Pictures are the work of Jason Engle
