Sir Ulrich "Lightspeed" Von Gaia

Early History
Born as the son of an impoverished landed knight in Rathnir, Ulrich spent most of his early life without too much struggle. It was clear from an early age that he was not interested in the arts of war but instead relied on his wits and intelligence to study alchemy, logistics and the administration of the land. The youngest child, it was clear he was not the first to his fathers meager inheritance or lands.

Once he became of age, he started his journey to travel the world looking for his fortune. With the last of his money, he booked a passage to Eldham.

The Oath
Arriving at the port city of Gaia´s Garden in the Encansavia Province in the nation A.W.E, Ulrich was quick to find jobs and uses for his skills. Under the guidance of Mylnric, the Mayor of Gaia´s Garden, the young man could show his skills and aptitudes for alchemy and engineering, with tasks ranging from replicating ancient brews passed on trought old scrolls, some even requiring arcane ingredients such as Nether Wart, a strange growth found in another plane to large infraestructure projects such as roads, iceways and defensive fortifications. While not an expert builder, his dilligence and discipline earned him the nickname of "Lightspeed" for his speed in accomplishing tasks, which gave him the opportunity to join the order of Imperial Engineers.

Now in a place that he can call his own, he swore a new oath to protect and defend the land, earning the final title of "Von Gaia".

Whispers in the Dark
While Ulrich is a staunch believer of the Church of the Holy Light, most of the knowledge he has in the alchemical arts came to him in visions. Visions of lands consumed by fire and lava, lands where the infinite void is prowled by dragons and tall, dark humanoid creatures that can teleport at will.

The whispers gave him instructions on how to create potions of great power with materials found in the realm known as the Nether.

Way of the Blade
Ulrich, by chance or by destiny, met with Endo in his travels and military service. Accepted as an apprentice of the wandering swordsman, he learns the way of the blade, fusing the rigid military training of his knighthood with the fast paced, precise and skillfull techniques employed by the wandering warrior.
