Origin
First of his name, born in the Boreean branch of House Velaryon. Son to Tahaerys, brother to Lucerys and Jacaerys Velaryon. Born in Darfix during one stormy night. The females of Boreean branch traditionally sail to the far northwest to deliver their unborn in the Silver Temple of Darfix. When the children are born they water their heads in the sacred chalice that gives them characteristic and unusually silver hair. Foretold by his father Tahaerys to become the storm wielder and the first dragon rider.
Appearance and character
Monterys is a man of medium height and build. He has silver hair, dark eyes and a sincere smile. He wears a black armor and a red cloak, and in battle he wields the sword Ashrune. He is of adventurous and daring character, and his main interests lie in military operations and expeditionary endeavors.
Chronicles of the Dragon
Madina and D'Hara
By the time he came of age Monterys inherited the family affairs in Madina. He was quickly enlisted in the army of the Madinan King, Ulfang Mormont, in who he sought a mentor and maintained good relations with during his life. Whilst the Kingdom of Madina drifted in the far southern islands, abandoned by most nobility, the assassination attempt on the life of King Ulfang triggered a mass exodus of the Madinans to the Dragon Isles with the intention to bring the two Kingdoms together as one. The exodus was slow and tedious but Monterys spearheaded the expedition and made early acquaintances with Dragon King Pawl Paxwax, and, upon his arrival, was elected as the Lord General of the Dragon Isles. As the Lord General Monterys fundamentally changed the way the D'Harans fight. Instead of one slow and sturdy army he broke the legions into several smaller, faster groups and fleets which eased the defense of the vast and overspread Kingdom.
Gold Sea Conflict
Once the new and united Kingdom consolidated it began to look to the northwest and towards the Gold Sea Conflict which saw Westgard and Tol Goldora in dispute over the claim of Golden Farrow. The Kingdom decided to support its Westgardian allies and formed a new army Sea Dragons to act as a relief army in the war. Monterys took command of Dragons, bringing their repute to new heights. The Dragons achieved many great maneuvers and victories in this conflict, from sacking of Itau to a victory in the Battles for the Farrowlands, where he, together with Westgard's sovereign Gheric Arylon, lead his armies in of the most glorious of battles. There, on the blood-soaked walls of Farrowfield, Gheric and Monterys created a strong bond of friendship which shaped Monterys' future.
Westgard
In the aftermath of the Gold Sea Conflict Monterys found little challenge to remain in the D'Haran lands. Bound by Gheric's friendship he decided to join him in his attempt to rebuild Westgard from the horrible and devastating consequences it endured during the war. Upon arrival, Monterys assumed the role of a Lord Commander and expanded Westgard further west. There he spearheaded the bastion of humanity against the tide of rogue beasts and devilish creatures, beckoned by the allure of his birthplace Darfix which always acts like a compass to his life, hoping and dreaming that perhaps one day he will set his sights on the Golden City and perhaps even sit on the throne of his ancient forefathers.
