Argon Archian

=Argon Archian, Ser "Riverwashed"= Argon Archian, the 11th Volark of River'reach was born into the noble House Archian, son of Lokais who claimed descent from the North Sea Invaders. His Mother, Geolia, who had far reaching claims to the first Volark of River'reach. Argon was a established Valor Knight (Veteran), a member of the Shields of the Reach and later the Knights of the Reach, and was most known for his civil war against River'reach tyranny. He would reign over River'reach as the "Volark of Good" for an estimated 12 years before his death in an ambush. Argon would play a critical role in the reformations of the Reachian Knighthood, and creation of the new capital, as well as relations with the Faith of Wruthos and Hyljaheim. In his late civil war, Argon would openly defy the hazed Volark Fehnir and launch a siege on The Reach which would be commonly named the Massacre at the Reach due to the explosion of the late capital caused by loyalists.

His son, Arkius Archian (formally known as Argon the Second or Argon II) would ascend the Salt Rock Throne following his death, and lead with a similar tone but more militaristic reign.

Early life
Argon was born amongst the founding of the Volarkian Empire of River'reach and gained birth rights to the Minor House Archian claims along the peninsula his father ruled. His parents, Lokais Archian and Geolia Stelor'towden were nobles that ruled over Casten Arch as lords of Halefs rule. Originally Argon was not one for the gold plated life, and quickly became defiant of his duties and studies as heir. This would last most of his childhood, however late in the summer of his 15th cycle Argon would go to a sparring tourney with his father where he'd grow aspirations for the knighthood life. Soon after, Argon would join the knighthood as a Scholarly knight and scribe for the great "Ser Harlmott Jolfok". Harlmott would quickly become an idol to Argon, and they would see through many days together however Volark Halef despised House Jolfok for their aptitude and knightly backgrounds. Argon would loose Harlmott to a campaign led by Volark Halef during his 17th cycle, and this is what is believed to cause the spite between Argon and the Bloodscorne.

1.1 Joining the Shields of the Reach
Aware of Argons standing aspirations to become a knight, Lokais would enlist him to Fort Trout where Argon would serve as a Levy. Cleaning the bunks, and scurrying rats, Argon felt the need to rise the ranks, and so he did. During his 18th year, Argon would become a Bannerman and eventually lead a group of levy's into Casten Arch to stop an ongoing ransack held by the Kumani Pirates. It was this same battle that Argon would meet a pirate by the name of "Pav Tokkion" who would later lead one of the most known pirate captains in Wruthos. Upon arrival to Fort Trout, Argon, who was still soaked from the battle would be knighted as "Ser Riverwashed" marking the beginning of his career in the Knighthood.

1.2 The New Lord of Casten Arch
Proud of his newly knighted son, Lokais would take Argon on a hunt somewhere between the Polocone Mountains and the Lerwal Forest. They would later find the domain of the Polocone Mountain Bear, a beast known for its old age and reputation of killing noble figures. Sadly Lokais would never return to Casten Arch, however Argon made it safely with a new scar spread across his right arm. This would be the creation of the feud between the bear and Argon that lasted most of his life.

Prior to his fathers death Argon was named the newly appointed Lord of Casten Arch, and Baron of the Archian peninsula at the young age of 18. During this transition Argon took to ale, and became a lazy drunk whilst his mother wept in his fathers absence. This would anger the other nobles of the Casten Court including the Baron of House Lerwal who had been taxing House Archian during his fathers reign. House Archian fell into darkness as Argon drank and slept, and minor houses quickly began scheming plots against both Argon, and his Mother. It was Brandon Silverwater, a friend to Argon, and a serving shield of the reach who would report to Argon of the conspiracy's against his claim including the one started by Ser Tarris Lerwal.

Argon, filled with ale, would take a large group of Archian, Silverwater, and Stelor'towdens knights and storm his way into the walls of Casten Lerwal. Surrounded by knights alike, Argon would make his way to Ser Tarris's room where he would proceed to rant, drink, and throw a knife into a expensive painting all to make an example of those who scheme against his house. Many say that Argon left the Casten a new man, however he would not be sober until a week prior to the events in House Lerwal's claim.

Court Politics
Argon unlike the other lords in the Court had been taught to use his prowess and be humble about his decisions and his choice of wording. This would lead the other lords to think of him as weak and easily deceived however he had been far from mis-taught.
