Quixote, former Duke of Ikalak, former Lieutenant of Ikalak, former Count of Unagae, former Minister of Defence of Ikalak, former Count of Jerelin

Current Realm: whereabouts unknown

Quixote is the oldest of the three brothers, and began his career in the realm of Eston on Atamara. He began his career at the end of a war against Norland and Southasland. Thereafter, he participated in several expeditions where large Eston forces assisted their allies Cagilan Empire, Tara, and the new realm of Carelia in fighting of the armies of Abington, Lamar, and RedSpan?. He got tired of this after a while, however, and boarded a ship to the New World, where he began a new life in the realm of Fronen.

Quixote found no place for himself in Fronen and emigrated to the South-East Island, where he joined the realm of Ikalak. Quixote currently fights for Ikalak's army, leading troops into battle so that Ikalak may one day rule all of the South-East Island. He has declared himself a hero of Ikalak, and was been rewarded with control of the wooded region of Jerelin for his service to Ikalak. However, he was captured in a battle in Sandalak's freezing wastelands and lost his Count position.

The Prime Minister of Ikalak, Lady Alanna, recognized Quixote's strategic mind and appointed him Minister of Defence. Quixote held the position of General for about month before stepping down and continuing to serve as a Lieutenant. He was also appointed Count of Unagae for his loyalty. Quixote became a highly decorated veteran of Ikalak's wars.

Ikalak could not hold back its foes, and the realm was destroyed. Quixote valiantly defended the city to the last, but it was for naught and the citadel fell. Quixote disappeared shortly after the realm ceased to exist. No one knows if he is still alive, or where he might be if he is.

Trantante, Baron of Nazgorn, former Arch Priest of Falasan, former Count of Corniel

Current Realm: Falasan - Atamara

Trantante is the second oldest brother of the McGlynn family, and is a bit lazy. He is from Falasan, where he is content to do bureaucratic work and go to tournaments. In fact, in his first tournament he reached the semifinals and gained 4 honor and 3 prestige. Most of Trantante's time is spent convincing the peasant's that high taxes are good. He was appointed Count of the region of Corniel, and later Baron of Nazgorn by the King of Falasan, for his service to the realm. Trantante sends much gold home to the family, and is a favorite of the elders. Trantante was elected to be the Arch Priest of Falasan after nearly two years of service to his realm.


Morir, former Dictator of Sandalak

Current Realm: Riombara - Beluaterra

Morir is the youngest of the three brothers, and also the most adventurous. He started his career in Cagilan Empire fighting Lamar, but eventually got tired of this and emigrated to the South-West Island, which hasd just been divinely created by the Great God Tom. When he arrived, he joined the realm of Sandalak, vowing to bring his realm to victory over its enemies. Sandalak was constantly at war with its two neighbors, Ikalak and Taselak (though there were often agreements between two realms to attack the third). Morir was devoted to his realm.

At one point, Morir took up the role of an Infiltrator and found a savage pleasure in being on his own, able to go straight for enemy nobles instead of engaging in the tiresome affair of conventional warfare. However, Morir became a regular soldier again so that he could obey the call of his people, who had elevated him to the rank of Dictator after the longtime ruler Symphony abdicated. Morir, gratified by his peoples' support, did his best to bring victory to Sandalak though it was attacked on both sides by its neighbors. The family back at home was very proud of their youngest son. Even in noble families, few have the honor of ruling a realm. Morir ruled Sandalak for about a month.

Sandalak had gone into decline a bit before the time Morir became Dictator. Over several months, Ikalak and Taselak whittled down Sandalak to its one city. It took them a long time but Taselak took Sandalak city and allowed it to revolt, so that Sandalak was a rogue region. As Morir's world came crashing down around him, he boarded a ship to the far-off Colonies and joined the Assasins' Guild. After a time there, he boarded a boat to Beluaterra and joined the Assasins' Guild on this new continent. His mind has been twisted by his loss and Morir will never be completely sane again.

Xerxes, Duke of Palnasos

Current Realm: Sanctum of Casshern - Far East Island

Xerxes recieved a thorough education, courtesy of the gold made by the three brothers in their adventures. When his education concluded Xerxes sailed to the Far East Island to make his fortune. He served Nighthelm for some time before joining the colony Nighthelm founded. Xerxes was awarded the title of Duke of Palnasos in the colony, (Sanctum of Casshern) at a young age. He intends to make a big mark on the world
