Osha Family/Malice

Once the youngest of House Osha when he started his military career, Malice has since become the Patriarch of the family after the deaths of all three of his blood brothers and his reign over one of the most powerful realms in Atamara. At the start of it all however, Malice was just a 16 year old bored of his monotonous life in the Colonies. As it turned out, the impulsive decision to rob the family coffers and flee to Atamara was one of the best Malice ever made.

Knighthood

In the first couple of years of service to the fair realm of Ash Sea Islands, Malice kept a relatively low profile. Content just to serve ASI in any capacity his superiors desired. This did not last long however, and soon Malice began grabbing regular scout reports of enemy lands while on campaign in an attempt to take a more active role in the realm. Although these in themselves were not exactly impressive, the elaborate and detailed description of key bits of information within them eventually began to catch notice from the top. It wasn't long until the King himself, Nautilus Spiliz, showered Malice with gratitude for his detailed reports. It was one of the proudest moments in Malice' young life.

Lordship

Not long after that fateful day when King Nautilus commended Malice' efforts in the war, his actions were rewarded with land and the title of Baron was bestowed upon Malice in a short ceremony in Mapo. Although initially Malice quailed at the thought of having to worry about the dozens upon dozens of faceless peasants he was now responsible for, he quickly came to love his people. A process that gathered that much more momentum once Malice discovered Mapan Ale. Indeed Malice was so proud of his people and the ale they produced that he actually gifted an entire swimming pool of the stuff to Sir Doc's Revenge upon his coronation as King of the Ash Sea Islands. It should also be mentioned that Malice became fiercely proud of his Knights later on in his time as Baron, engaging with them more and more as time wore on.

High Marshal-ship

For a while Malice was full of joy and happiness over his appointment as Baron and indeed, the victory over the Tarans in their long running war. However, this happiness was eventually soured by news of Barbar's death and the betrayal of the Ash Sea Islands by Abington, a former friend and ally. The twin effect of these events on Malice was dramatic, and for a while he became much more sullen and withdrawn. However this was eventually offset by the opportunity to claw back ASI's glory and honour in the world. The opportunity to become High Marshal. Malice accepted without a second thought.

In his early days as High Marshal, Malice presided over Ashlantean expansion into RedSpan - as payback for RedSpan's own expansion into the Ashlantean territory in her own time of need. Malice also led a campaign in Carelian lands which eventually culminated in the attempted Colonisation of Nida (which failed after a particularly close battle outside the walls). After another stinging defeat at the hands of High Marshal Harpy a week or two later, and the entry of the Cagilan Empire into their one on one war, Carelia and the Ash Sea Islands called a ceasefire and forged friendlier relations.
