Hamith Highcaster

Hamith Highcaster Myers I is the co-leader of the RPR Ecrium-Kommerzhy, holding the titles of King of Ecrium, Prince of Kommerzhy, Earl of Bashnigrad, Baron of Commercia, Baron of Fort Highcaster and Baron of Istamhera.

Family
The son of a peasant blacksmith from the days of old Wolfingrad and an unknown mother, he is husband to Skywynne Myers, father to Stick Highcaster, Shrok Highcaster and Svenn Highcaster and oath brother to Michael Kommerzzi.

In his youth Hamith never thought of himself as much of a family man, instead focusing on exploring his own philosophy about greatness and the rise and fall of all things throughout history, and the creation of his own town, which he saw as his own little mark of greatness on this world, to leave behind after his bones returned to the dust. Eventually though, after his marriage to Skywynne and the birth of his first son Stick, a realisation struck the prince: There's no monument, no castle, no temple one could build that would compare in greatness the the creation of another life, the raising and moulding of another being into a honorable, dutiful and respectful adult. The task of fatherhood, Hamith understood, was the greatest and most important one of all, and it's result: the only true legacy one can leave behind.

Regarding the other aspect of his familiar ties, being his brotherhood to Michael Kommerzzi and therefore his ties to the Kommerzzi line, many things can and have been said. Hamith himself has stated many times that he would not have achieved nearly as much as he did if it were not for his collaboration with Michael.

Even though there are no real blood bonds between the houses of Highcaster and Kommerzzi, it has been seen throughout their decades of joint rule that they respect and care for each other even more than some of the same descent do. It's this solid partnership that has been identified by many, including the princes themselves, as the key to their realms growth and relative stability in the middle of what once was a very tumultuous and chaotic region of Eldham.

Career
He had ruled side by side with Michael since they merged their towns of Commercia and Bashnigrad and have seen their territories grow from two small separated hamlets to a province that encompasses the entirety of southern Phoros. After his brother stepped down and left the throne to his heir Athyers Nesav Kommerzzi, Hamith would continue to fulfil the tasks that his position demanded but become much less active due to his old age and tiredness after decades of leading, letting the newly appointed Athyers take the reins.
