Lanfrank is the oldest fighting noble within the Capet family, and after the death of his uncle Alphonse Capet, of his cousins Tristan and Guillaume, the heir to the Capet legacy. His father, Arnaud Capet, became the patriarch after Alphonse died. Since his adopted son Hugues was disowned, Alphonse was left without any living male offspring, and so his brother became head of the family.

By far the most successful of all the Capets, Amaury's career has taken off rather impressively. His first year in noble service was rather unremarkable, serving an unknown Lord of Caerwyn in the wilderness of western Dwilight. At a tournament, he met Gorlack Capelo, a Marquis from Pian en Luries and a well-respected jouster. Impressed by the Marquis' prowess, Amaury offered his service and followed Gorlack back to his province of Nid Tek, in southeastern Dwilight, where he quickly distinguished himself. Shortly after his eighteenth birthday, he was chosen by Queen Alanna to serve as the Count of Ciarin Tut, after the disappearance of his predecessor. As time passed, his service in the ducal army of Duke Proslyn of Askileon led him to become Vice-Marshal of the army under his old liege Gorlack. Together, they defended the Lurian borders from countless monster attacks. During that time, Amaury became a true cavalry man, and subsequently he became a cavalier, vowing never to fight on foot again.
  
Nevertheless, Lanfrank does not care about any of this. He, much like his brother Alexandre, is a free spirit, who prefers to spend his time on or near the battlefield, rather than in his estate.
+
Later, he was chosen by the Queen to become Grand Imperator of Pian en Luries, the commander of all the realm's armies, due to his military prowess and keen tactical insight, a position he occupies to this day. At the age of just twenty-four, Amaury learned of a mysterious, grave illness striking down Duke Proslyn of Askileon, and he put his name forward as candidate for the ducal seat, citing his six years of devoted service to the city and the Crown as his qualifications. To his great joy, the Queen agreed, and inaugurated him as the new Duke.

Hugues started is career in his native homeland Suville, but he quickly became bored there. Under the guise of night, he disappeared form the realm, only to resurface later in Dwilight, where he chose to serve the Lurian lord Christopher Vando. He spent most of his time hunting monsters along with the Guardians of Giask.

Age: 20<br>
 
 
Hugues is almost the exact opposite of his older brother Tristan. He prefers adventure and exploration over the sometimes boring life of a noble knight, and as such, his loyalty can be quite short, and shortly after arriving, he left Dwilight behind him and sailed for Beluaterra in search of excitement and adventure. He became a vassal of Duchess Skye Uceek of Ossmat, and before long, he fell in love with her, something Hugues himself found highly inappropriate... at the time.
 
  
Before long, he realized that Skye had a strange attraction to her, and Hugues found himself drawn to her like a moth finds itself drawn to a flame. At one point he wasted fifteen of his own men in battle, trying to cut a path through enemy ranks so he could fight side by side with her. During another battle, they argued about an early mishap. Hugues saved her life, and gave in to temptation.
 
  
Hugues is a bastard child of unknown parents, though he did not know it himself until recently. His physical appearance differs from that of his assumed brothers. The other Capets are all tan with dark hair and dark eyes, whereas Hugues is fair-skinned, fair-haired and blue-eyed. When his adopted father grew annoyed at Hugues' gallavanting, he sent word to Hugues about his true origins. Deeply disappointed, Hugues attempted to hang himself, and was only saved in the nick of time by the woman he loved. A few weeks later, he asked Skye to become his wife. She accepted, and the two are currently holding a festival in Ossmat, which will end with their wedding, and subsequently a tournament of swordfighting.

By far the most successful of all the Capets, Amaury's career has taken off rather impressively. His first year in noble service was rather unremarkable, serving an unknown Lord of Caerwyn in the wilderness of western Dwilight. At a tournament, he met Gorlack Capelo, a Marquis from Pian en Luries and a well-respected jouster. Impressed by the Marquis' prowess, Amaury offered his service and followed Gorlack back to his province of Nid Tek, in southeastern Dwilight, where he quickly distinguished himself. Shortly after his eighteenth birthday, he was chosen by Queen Alanna to serve as the Count of Ciarin Tut, after the disappearance of his predecessor. As time passed, his service in the ducal army of Duke Proslyn of Askileon led him to become Vice-Marshal of the army under his old liege Gorlack. Together, they defended the Lurian borders from countless monster attacks. During that time, Amaury became a true cavalry man, and subsequently he became a cavalier, vowing never to fight on foot again.

Later, he was chosen by the Queen to become Grand Imperator of Pian en Luries, the commander of all the realm's armies, due to his military prowess and keen tactical insight, a position he occupies to this day. At the age of just twenty-four, Amaury learned of a mysterious, grave illness striking down Duke Proslyn of Askileon, and he put his name forward as candidate for the ducal seat, citing his six years of devoted service to the city and the Crown as his qualifications. To his great joy, the Queen agreed, and inaugurated him as the new Duke.

Retired/deceased kin

Tristan Capet

Noble of Soliferum, Knight of Osaliel
Liege: Maximus Testaverde, Duke of Osaliel, Minister of Finances of Soliferum
Age: 25
Status: dead

Tristan started his career in the Far East, in the realm of Soliferum. Always eager to speak his mind and defend his opinions, he had grabbed the attention of several high ranking nobles, and even Prime Minister Conan himself. He served Duke Maximus Testaverde of Osaliel as a member of the Army of the Republic. With the army, Tristan had undertaken a succesful assault on the Nighthelmian city of Azros, during which his efforts had gained him much praise from his peers.

Tristan was a relatively chivalrous noble, who refused to harm unarmed commoners, and openly declared such actions to be beneath the level of a true noble. He was fiercely loyal to his liege and his ruler, and would not hesitate to offer them his views.

Shortly after his last campaign in Nighthelm, Tristan received a mysterious letter from his father urging him to set sail to Beluaterra for reasons unknown. Unfortunately, Tristans ship was caught in a fierce thunderstorm, and sunk to the bottom of the ocean, taking every passenger along with it. His place in the Far East was taken by his younger brother Guillaume.

Nicolas Capet

Noble of Fontan, Knight of Krimml
Liege: Amelia Bernstein, Duchess of Krimml
Age: 17
Status: retired

Nicolas started his career in the mercenary armies of Darka, but after not finding a liege after several weeks of enquiry, he became fed up with the realm and boarded a ship to the East Continent, where he joined the ranks of the Fontanese nobility. After becoming a vassal to Amelia Bernstein, he was assigned to the Fontan Strike Regiment, and has partaken in battle against the armies of Perdan.

Nicolas was a warrior first and foremost. Being the youngest of three brothers, he felt a strong urge to prove himself worthy of being an heir to the Capetian family, and as such, he sought battle whereever it may be found. A serious hunting accident has left him crippled, however, and he has retired from active duty to spend his days as a hermit.
