Turvak Family

A family originally from the Colonies. Their chateau is still located in the same place it has been for generations, in the fields by the river near the city of Wirkfyr, part of Giblot.

Members of Note:

Tadzio

Son of Matyaz and Luise, Tadzio was born in his family house in Wirkfyr, place where he spent most of his youth. He got married at the age of seventeen to Zlata Janiak, a woman Tadzio learned to love through the years. Even with early marriage, the patriarch's only son did not had children until his twentieth birthday, when Zlata gave birth to a girl, given the name of Raina. These were happy days. Even though his marriage came from family interest, an usual ocurrence for nobles, the couple earned a deep love for each other and they couldn't be more satisfied.

It was not until Zlata's death that Tadzio started thinking about entering a military career. Five years after Raina's birth a awful plague reached Wirkfyr taking the life of many, including Zlata Turvak. His decision did not came from any desire of glory and fame - in fact, Tadzio has always repulsed the tought of fighting. After losing his wife, Tadzio entered a long depression, broke only for his need to work on something. He started his military after the sense of duty to his realm, his need to improve it, change it, and his necessity of keeping himself occupied.

It worked surprinsigly well. Tadzio proved to be a decent commander, strategy being an interesting occupation for the mind. He sees warfare with seriousness, never considering it a fast way to gain prestige or diversion (even if his war history did make his name famous). It did not took long before Tadzio became a cortier, deciding it was a better way to serve his realm; organizing and improving Giblot, not killing for it.

Tadzio is a introspective gentleman, usually quiet and serious. Graced with uncommom beauty, his handsome face almost always shows a quite sad aspect, even when smiling. Very intelligent, proclaming himself a scholar, Tadzio's speech is usually detailed, complex and - not always necessarily - long. He usually dresses in discrete but elegant black clothing, contrasting notabily with his pale skin and blonde wavy hair, wich he wears long. His eyes are clear blue, always framed by the square spectacles that remedy his poor vision.

Older and more experient, with his father deceased, Tadzio is now the patriarch of the family. Actually serves as a knight of Steepglades, a city that he enjoy, finding it's cold weather quite pleasant. Lord Turvak is known for his detalist behaviour, for being compulsively attached to work and, since his wife's death, an alcoholic.

Raina

Daughter of Tadzio and Zlata, Raina grew up to be an child full of dreams. Created in Turvak's noble house in Wirkfyr, the girl learned about their relm's ideals and was touched by it more than her parents. Since yearly times, Raina already demonstrated a honourable behaviour, a inborn need to see justice prevalence and, more subtely, a strong ambition.

After her mother's death, Raina watched her father drown into a state of depression, complemented by isolation and strong beverage. Too small to understand it at the time, even tough Raina loved her only parent alive, the girl grew up believing her father to be weak, that she was supposed to be the strong person in the family. Growing up, Raina came to discover the wonders of warfare, were she could keep her rightful ideals, fight for what she believed, rise her name to a legend and, most important, conquest personal glory.

However, her father wouldn`t allow it. Tadzio had already lost his wife and could not bear the tought of losing his daughter. Raina was kept safe and away from her desired place even while her father started on the military himself. His work as a bureaucrat only added to Raina`s image of him as a weak person, for a true proud member of their family should be leading soldiers non the battlefield, not hiding behind a office desk. At the age of twenty, Raina finally gave up pleasing her father and decided to take her rightful place as a troop leader, family allowence or not.
