Background
A young noble house, the Minex family has had little to do with politics for several generations. Their secretive ways has brought them no small amount of suspicion. Although no solid proof has ever materialized, there are legends they may have once consorted with dark and forbidden powers. The heads of the family deny such allegations as superstition.
The family is located within Atamara in the Region of Stoneville and has close ties with the Realm of Abington.
Devlin
The first of the Minex line to swear fealty is Devlin, knighted under the crown of King Carriantor and sworn into service of Duke Ralph The Thirteenth. A dark and brooding young man, he is prone to sullen fits of introspection that can leave others with the impression he is antisocial and aloof. However his close friends know him as an inspired noble who has taken up the sword to bring justice to the world.
During July 2006, Abington came under attack from a collation of realms under the direction of the Ash Sea Islands. Forced to abandon their quest to extinguish Tara, their siege forces were ordered to turn around at the gates of Foda. After a long and painful march home, Devlin and the Minex Macabre were at the forefront of the attack in Sudfern which broke the back of the attacking armies of Talerium and Minas Ithil. Although the Macabre were completely decimated from a calvary charge, Devlin heroically continued the fight until the day was won.
As a hero of minor renown he serves his home in Stoneville under Duke Grand Poopah.
Regulus
Regulus is the younger brother of Devlin, and the second in the family to leave home. His travels have taken him to the East Continent, first in service of Sirion. The more scholarly of the two, he has a great passion for reading and philosophy. Unhappy over the way in which the campaign against Perdan was being waged, Regulus traveled to nearby Yssaria where he currently serves as a knight of Isadril under Duke Rackir.
Dozer
The young cousin to Devlin and Regulus, he found little passion in the more scholarly pursuits the family scribes tried to impress upon him. He took leave of his studies as soon as he was able, and set sail for the distant Far East Islands.
His head filled with tales of grand adventure, he arrived in Ethiala looking to join the Alliance war effort against Arcaea. Quickly dispirited by the realm's apartment lack of interest in both war and himself, he traveled across the border to Lasanar where he eventually became a knight of Ossaet under Duke Galiard. Finally afforded an opportunity for war, he finally marched to battle against Arcaea.
A week of easy victories quickly filled him with overconfidence, and it was with reckless abandon he charged the ambush set against their vanguard. This lead to his first real taste of war when his command was cut down around him and he was captured by the forces of Arcaea. After a week to cool his heels in the Remton prison, he returned back to Lasanar a more cautious and humble man.
After a bewildering turn of events, he found himself named Count of Isular where he slowly learns the pains and parlance of land ownership and court politics.
