Bennet Family (Aniri)

The Bennet family is a new noble family, originally from Canock, Carelia.

Bennet family history

The head of the family, William Bennet, was born to a family of peasants living in the region of Canock. Being the youngest sibling (he was the 9th child of the family) he was always teased by his older brothers and sisters. This helped him build his character, and he grew up to be a brave, ambitious and determined young man. He married Elizabeth when he was only 18, and for a few years they lived a simple and happy life in a small house in a village in Canock. They were doing well for themselves , they grew wheat and maize and also owned a few cattle. One day, the region of Canock was invaded by a horde of monsters. That was the day when everything changed for William and his wife. Encountering no resistance on their way, the monsters were getting closer and closer to the village where the Bennets lived, and were threatening to destroy everything in their path and kill everyone who dared to face them. Most of the other villagers where fleeing their homes and running to save their lives, but Mr. Bennet decided he couldn’t just sit and watch all his hard work being destroyed by the ugly beasts. After sending his wife along with the rest of the peasants, he grabbed his pitchfork and, along with a small group of his brave friends, faced the monsters that were threatening to destroy everything they owned.

Mr. Bennet fought bravely and managed to kill two of the monstrous beasts. He himself was injured a little, but he continued to fight, ignoring the sharp pain in him left arm. His friends also managed to kill some of the monsters without suffering life-threatening injuries. Soon, a few knights joined the small group of brave men, and together they managed to kill the rest of the beasts.

William Bennet was rewarded for his actions by the ruler of Carelia and became a knight of Canock. He was happy with his title, but even happier for managing to protect his beloved wife, their home and their land. He knew that with his title came a lot of responsibilities and that he would have to work hard and fight many battles to prove worthy of his title. He swore to himself, on the same day he was knighted, that he would train his sons to become brave knights. To his disappointment (although it didn’t last long) he was blessed with two daughters, Lucilla and Aniri (so he thought, because he wasn’t aware of the existence of his son, Albert). His sadness vanished when he discovered that the girls were more interested in swords fighting and battle tactics then in embroidery and sewing. He trained them both to be brave knights, to fight for what they believed in and to bring honor to their family.

William had all the qualities he needed to be a great knight and a loving husband and father, but he had a small weakness, he could not resist to the charms of a beautiful woman. He did love his wife a lot, but during his campaigns on foreign lands, he had strayed a few times. On one of these campaigns he met Albert’s mother…
