Skavier Castellan III

Skavier Castellan III is a nobleman of Sahradae in Konushum, the new homeland of the Castellan people. He orginally started life as a nomadic merchant and shephard born into the Idan Clan. He would enlist in the Theios-Essukdal military and fight in an “under cover” war, infiltrating Akratia as a spy. He was made an elder of the clan and had the fortress Jerada built in Ersetu. When the traveler Meep came to Ersetu he would teach Skavier of his Castellan heritage and claim to be an immortal patron saint. Meep convinced Skavier to gather as many castellan people to unite them into an empire in the new world of Eldham. This endeavor would fail leading the Castellan to return to Rathnir and settle within Yimmu-Audal. He has had six children, with most of them being sent off to spread the Castellan culture. Of them the sons Sigismund and Marcus Caastellan have returned.

Personality
His sad and melancholic feelings hide behind his outward mask of cheerful lightness. Skavier is deeply troubled by extreme feelings of responsibility and duty to those around him. A slow but eventually fatal disease slowly drains his strength, twisting his thoughts and emotions. These compounding issues have led him to develop depression and lose control when he's left alone. Nevertheless, he remains in his devotion to Meep the Incarnate, viewing him as the only way to ensure the Castellans relative security. He has grown increasingly paranoid, alongside his obsession of returning the glory of the Castellans. His unshakable faith in the Audalad dynasty is being tested more and more by tempting evil hands beyond the world.

Early Life
Born in Ersetu to a Idan mother and a Castellan father Skavier started life as a nomadic merchant and shepherd. As he grew older he would enlist in the Theios-Essukdal military at age 16, and begin fighting in an “undercover war” as a spy at age 18, infiltrating Akratian Command for two years. When the war was over Skavier would return to Ersetu and was made an Elder for his services to the country. He would have Fort Jerada built in Ersetu, and commission the militia to setup a wooden stake wall around the town.

Learning of the Castellan
One day a stranger named Meep would arrive in the tavern Skavier was drinking in. Meep would teach Skavier for four months about his Castellan heritage, and tell Skavier that he was the immortal patron saint of all Castellan. These talks would persuade Skavier to unite the Castellan people and forge a new empire in Eldham. Though Skavier had already seen war, he would relinquish his title of elder and leave Ersetu to reform a nation his forefathers had built. He would travel for nearly a decade, uniting the Castellans scattered across Rathnir to prepare to travel to the new world.

Attempt at Empire
After the first battle, Skavier sat on a charred and bloody field, around him lay hundreds of dying or soon to fall. Men fighting for their lives against foes so many and strong, they could but wait to die. From the heavens rays of light fell, a single horseman in white robes bearing a black cross charged from downward, fiery streaks erupting from his great helm like a mighty furnace as Meep returned to his true form. The Castellans saw their omen and fought on, Skavier picked up a banner and sword once again, charging forward with his kin to victory. The Castellans would win the battle against the Central Forces Coalition, but far too many had died to start a nation. Even so, they all knelt before their lord on the field, as their lord knelt before their true god. The Castellans would have to return to Rathnir, where they would settle in Yimmu-Audal. Skavier was given Sahradae and made a lord of Konushum, starting a new golden age for the Castellans in their new home.
