The Walsh Family
The Walsh family originates from Enubec in Itorunt. An old but minor noble house, arguably only barely elevated above the peasantry, the family rose naturally to the aristocracy from lack of any other prominent figures in the small woodland community. A hopped-up merchant house in the eyes of the larger noble families. House Walsh has recently begun making inroads into improving it's reputation after finally having raised the money to send one of it's scions into the knighted ranks of Itorunt.
Thray
Thray Walsh is the first member of his house to rise above the rank and file of nobles to become a knight of his home territory of Enubec. Serving in the Army of Itorunt as a soldier, he works hard to garner recognition for his family and set a path for other members of his family to follow. His upbringing would be considered lacking by many nobles, and so his tongue is a bit sharper and more familiar than most of his peers. Having remained close to the common people, Thray's manner has been met with anything ranging from comtempt, to anger, to amusement, even sparking a duel with another of the knights of Itorunt. But it is this very trait that makes him an effective troop commander as he quickly identifies with, and earns the trust of, his men. Thray never fears to let his opinions be known. Opinions which occasionally carry some merit.
Thray's loyalty and pride in his home region is equal to that which he gives Itorunt and Thray makes certain that his soldiers carry the standards of Enubec next to those of Itorunt with equal prominence. His unit, the Enubec Sabremen, is a loyal and cohesive group and responds to his directives without hesitation. They are garnering a reputation for speedy and responsive deployment, having made trips across the realm at speeds equal to cavalry forces, reliably arriving at the front lines when called in the name of Enubec and Itorunt.
