Massey Family

The Massey Family originates in an unknown land, proclaimed nobles by some forgotten ruler, they've wondered the world over for as far back as they're records go. Usually lead by the head of the clan, they've are something of Mercenary Nobles, dealing in death and crafts of war. It was only relatively recently that the family came to Arcaea. The current head of the Massey family, Goffrey and Richter's father Siegfried, lead his clan to the city of Remton hoping to find a permanent home for the the family at last. As the war raged around him Siegfried trained his children in the art of war, using techniques that some would describe as "barbaric." But the effectiveness of these training protocols could not be denied.

History

Goffrey was the first born of the two, the eldest son and thus the greatest focus of his father's "attention" so to speak. His mother left they're father when Goffrey was still at a very young age not being able to tolerate Siegfried's treatment of her or her children. Growing up with little contact with women, and no mother to speak of, affected Goffrey on an emotional level leaving him humorlessly unable to verbalize himself with regards to women he cared about strongly. After his mother left him Siegfried became an extremely bitter man silently blaming his children for the loss of his wife. As such he raised his children in the manner of all men of the Massey family. The only difference here was the level of extreme he took with the training. From the time Goffrey was old enough to hold a sword he was taught how to use it. From the time he was old enough to speak words and understand them, he was filled with tales of glory and carnage, virtually brainwashed with information regarding fighting tactics and swordplay.

At the age of 12, he was forced to fight his Father's hunting dogs for the right to have dinner each night. Some times he won some times he lost. At 15 he was upgraded to monster's, captured by his Father for this purpose, he still has a rather nasty scar across his lower back from the only time he ever lost. On his 16th birthday Siegfried payed an assassin to kill both his sons seeing it as a gradutation of sorts. Richter almost did not survive this final test, but Goffrey was able to end the Assassin at the last second, never actually learning where he came from or who sent him. While the psychological portions of Goffrey's training were only partially effective they allowed him to virtually shrug off most of the things his farther put him through, although the effects it had on his subconscious mind is yet to be reveled. Goffrey loves his father despite all he had done, wanting nothing more then to make him proud.

History

Richter was the second born of the massey clan, and it was but a few weeks after his birth that his mother left the clan, as such Richter has problems becoming emotionally attached to anything other then his brother. As the second born Richter was spare some of the more crueler aspects of Siegfried's training, but was instead treated with a sort of tolerant disdain, where as Goffrey was treated with a sort of pride one has for a well crafted machine. As such Richter grew to loath his farther, his teachings, and war itself. But when the time came for him to leave the house, he found that no matter what craft he tried his hand out, he find nothing he was skilled at as the art of warfare. This reality has left Richter a grim and cynical man, with a dry sense of humor to match. Only his brother Goffrey, whom is the only person Richter actually cares about, has ever been able to get Richter to smile.
