Belorin Belgrave-Aqule-Vynquist

Belorin Aqule is a Half-Elven Senator, soldier, and Prince of the Lordship of Ruska. He played a semi-important political role in the western Phagosian Sea, particularly helping with political decisions in the Grand Councilate of West Phagosia, as well as serving as a spy behind enemy lines in Petra, Glanra, and Aquivia.

Early life
Belorin was born in at an unknown settlement in Eastern Syltör or Western Nieden, near the former Silver Coalition and Sterling Crownlands. Not much is known about his childhood, but he distinctly remembers being chased by a beast in the forest at night, giving him a scar across his face that grows in pain with the waxing of the moon. Being cast out to sea sometime at around the age 14 years of age, Belorin washed up on the shores of Aquifia in the Phagosian Sea, with nothing but his clothing, a sliver shortsword, and a few fuzzy memories. He was met by Archduke Side Goosington I, who showed him the new settlement on the isle.

He was quickly put to work on the island, helping design and construct small houses on the island, primarily composed of spruce logs and planks and bell-curved roofs. After the first few huts of this style, it is believed to be likely that Belorin's builds started the theme of Aquifia (now Humilau) in Post-Plagatean Ruska. In addition, he helped as a fisherman for a short period of time, finding a few strange objects in the water.

Aquifian Wars
During mid-February, 2023, the Aqufian Wars began. Side had staged a coup against Froby, Prime, and the Ruskan government. Belorin, who was only a teenager at the time, participated as minimally as possible in the war, and it was difficult to know which end of the conflict to take. He personally saw no reason for the insurrection, despite leaning toward libertarian-left politically, and eventually sided with the Ruskan government and the Sapphire Alliance. However, he secretly received information on plans of the Ruby Alliance, as he had convinced Side that he was working with them.

Life in Ruska
After the Sapphire Alliance won the Aquifian Wars, Belorin became an adult and established his own residency in the trading hub of Humilau, primarily making income as a farmer. He spent his twenties helping with city work in Humilau, Ardenholm and Ashar. During this time, he also went on a sailing voyage across the Phagosian Sea for part of a season, making the mistake of going alone in a canoe, with only a few weeks' worth of provisions. He traveled all the way to the Soleannen Empire and was attacked by Bardonians off the coast of Trost along the way. Realizing that he had essentially nothing to do in the very theocratic Empire, he returned from the pointless journey where he had gained nothing but experience.
