Meushar

Meushar, div Kaliss is a 41 year old Warden of the The Order of the Aurora, as well as a local writer and brewer in his spare time.

Before Aurora
In his own words, Meushar wasted the first 30 years of his life. Not much is known about his time before he arrived at the gates of Fornost, but it is known that he seems to have learned swordsmanship and brewing as his main trades for the first part of his life. Neither occupation seemed to have earned him much success, however, as at the age of 35, Meushar arrived in The Kingdom of Aurora, penniless, withdrawn, and with a simple goal - to get rich, gain a respectable job, and die in relative peace.

First Years in Aurora
Meushar enrolled in the order just in time to participate in the Battle of New Dorasterrock, where he did little of note, but nonetheless continued to create a stable life for himself in Aurora. He became a slightly more sociable person at this point and took up several hobbies, reading and writing most notably. Meushar wrote his first book, a still unpublished history of the Allium-Coalition War, and began to rest more easy, for it seemed that all the troubles of the past were finally over, and that he had achieved all that he wished for.

The Lycans of Aurora
Meushar, div Kaliss awoke on that day in the agricultural district just as he had done for so many days before that. The ancient walls and unstoppable armies of Aurora had lulled the warden into a false sense of security, creating the illusion that everything was ok in the world, and that he may relax at last. He had occasionally heard grumblings from Aurelian about problems with undead, vampires and "lycans" within the city, but he never thought too much of them - the problem seemed non existent to him, and any issues that did arise, he thought, could be solved without too much of an issue. An uneasy feeling greeted him the second he stepped onto the main road, which was confirmed when he met an equally uneasy face belonging to a fellow regular of the agricultural district, Peter. It was then he learned that in the night, members of the Order of Aurora had uncovered three lycans: Vinter, Argof, and Leyla, and sentenced them to death. Meushar, in his prior state of carelessness regarding those around him, had not really gotten to know any of the persecuted, but nonetheless was outraged at the injustice which he saw before him. Meushar went on a campaign to have the three of them freed, meeting Cid and Kaori in the process. He wrote his first published book, Auroran Lycans, whilst sitting outside the jail cell they were kept inside of, and had multiple arguments with members of the high council in his attempts to save the lycans, who he got to know better and better throughout. The Order would not change their ways, however, and in the end, only one would manage to escape death.

Present Day
Over a year has passed since the deaths of Argof and Vinter, but Meushar is not, and likely never will be, the same man he was before. The incident left him disillusioned, angry, and with a deep distrust of almost the entire high council of Aurora, a bunch of "paranoid, psychotic killers" according to his writings. Some reconciliation has been made with a few members, but the vast majority of them are still hated by Meushar for their part in the killings. In the long term, Meushar has attempted to change his old, selfish ways, racked by the guilt that such brilliant souls as Argof and Vinter should have died while he lived for the sole reason that he was born human. He swears to protect those around him, regardless of race, and has more actively pursued travelling and writing, to hopefully fill the gap left by the Knowledge seeker's passing.

Appearance
Meushar is most commonly recognised for his large moustache and green hat, and spends most of his time in an Order uniform since his old clothes are not suited for the cold temperatures of Fornost. One of his ears was mangled by a flaming arrow in his twenties, whilst his other ear was cut off in a sword fight outside of Fornost, rendering Meushar slightly deaf.

Trivia

 * Meushar has been shot at by the empress. Twice.
 * He probably needs help. To be fair, this also applies to 90% of the Order.
 * His specialty in brewing is whiskey, a skill he learned long before he arrived in Fornost.
 * Despite, or perhaps because of, his work as a brewer, Meushar does not drink alcohol.
