Taven Saxon-Johan (Lainefpg) is an Aldan Soldier, Blacksmith and Fisherman originally from Bardonia. Taven previously served as a town councillor in Traveller's Pass, in Sanctuary.

Early Life
Taven Johan was born in Bardonia into a noble class, political family. His parents, came from a long line of inbreeders, dating back to the creation of Rathnir, hence why he is mutated to have blue facial features. Taven Johan was always eager to learn about his father's political roles, and at the age of 7, he was practicing diplomacy with his brother and sisters. His mother was a fisher, as well as a merchant. Even though Taven seemed happy in Bardonia, things started to get worse for him when his mother was mugged and killed by foreign bandits. Taven started secondary Soleannen school, and just as his father warned him, he was bullied repeatedly because of his defects. Taven ran away from home at the age of 12, due to the destructive wars in northern Bardonia and the constant bullying in his school, heading south.

Uldarashi affairs
It took 5 years to get to the continent of Haven, as Taven Johan was caught by bandits many times. At the age of 17, Taven applied for citizenship in Aurora, hoping to move to Fornost, the biggest city in the world. He was accepted, and welcomed by a lady named Maryden. Taven, however, was still sceptical of Aurora and the Empire of Uldarash as a whole, as it was in a civil war. Taven Johan decided to get over his fear of war that brought him here, and enlisted in the Order of Aurora. As he is in the army, he learns of the many different religions and cultures of Aurora and Uldarash, including the religion of Pavloism. Since he is still extremely poor, and since the war is slowing down rapidly, Taven embarks on a journey north to fish, hoping to find treasure and food, Taven thinking of his mother on his depart.

Back to Bardonia
2 years go by as he is traveling, until he finds a small town somewhat near the coast. He talks with the governor, and Taven is accepted to live in the Town of Scorpius while he is fishing. Beaten, stolen from, and still poor, Taven Johan is again uneasy about joining a new town. As Taven is now Pavloist, he is once again bullied because of the difference between the religions of Haven, and where he was then, which he finds out to be Bardonian. Him feeling lied to and betrayed by the town's promises, he tries to start a coup within the settlement. Taven killed one person until he was banished from Scorpius for the rest of his life. Taven, feeling defeated, and ridiculed from his own mother in his prayers, goes back to Fornost, which would take another 2 years.

To you, Traveller's Pass, from Fornost
After what seemed like a long 3 years of learning more about Haven's culture, Taven once again embarks on another journey, this time, for military needs. Traveling east, he discovers Loyalty road. He follows the road deep into Paloro until he finds yet another town, this time, in Sanctuary. The town is named Traveller's Pass, and once he is accepted into the town, he falls in love with it. He is appointed Chief Guard of the Fortress by Ciprilu, and quickly starts working on making armor for everyone there. Days go by until Taven meets someone named Oxi. Taven and Oxi got along very well and after a few months, Taven proposed, thinking nothing of his mutations. Taven Johan and Oxi got married in the Fornost Chapel, but lived and worked in Traveller's Pass. "Traveler's Pass expanded extremely quickly" said the Duke of the region in Sanctuary Traveler's Pass was in, summarizing the major expansions made in the now large fortress town. However, despite the town's success, after saving up more money from fishing, Taven went back to Fornost, not for political reasons, but for his own. At the age of 26, Taven Johan still had his physical defects, therefore, he bought 3 bottles of a mysterious potion that was said by the Auroran doctors to, "cure physical pain and defects". As he was travelling back to his home, he saw a very tall man. The man was severely injured, so after tending to his major wounds, Taven brought him back to Traveller's Pass. Taven soon learned that the man's name was Shiki. Taven and Shiki became great friends, practicing their sword skills almost everyday.

Alda
After many more months in Traveller's Pass and 3 shots of a potion, Taven found himself stuck. He continued to live in Fornost, but after knowing that he should help more in Traveller's Pass, he officially moved to the growing town. Taven Johan was appointed Gotei of Berwick district, managing the farms of Traveller's Pass. After many more months of living and working in Traveller's Pass, on his 28th birthday, Taven and Ciprilu had a talk. This talk was about Uldarash's corruption. Only days later, Ciprilu was exiled from Sanctuary and Uldarash for treason. He had created The Uldarashi Eye, a revolutionary and anti-corruption propaganda group. Ciprilu, already being a citizen and senator in Alda moved there for good. The rest of the Traveller's Pass councillors moved with him, and Shiki did too. Taven, sick of Uldarash's corruption as well, left everything behind, PTSD from Bardonia sparking in just moments after he began his journey. Taven Johan applied for citizenship in Alda, hoping to settle in the growing city of Kala. Just days after joining Alda, Taven, hoping to leave behind all of his Uldarashi affairs, abandoned Pavloism and created the religion of Staterism after he saw two "gods" commanding war and peace in the sky, a sign that he was a desendent of gods.

"Crusades"
After many more years in Alda, and after the surrender of Kiesaria, Taven decided to embark on crusades to spread "Alda-ism" through the newly annexed Viridia and beyond. The first crusade was to Kiesaria, just hours after the surrender. The main goal of this crusade was to raise the Kiesarians (now Aldans) moral. The first crusade was successful as Taven was cheered upon leaving the cities. The second crusade was far more bloody. Taven ventured north this time, hoping to explore the new lands he had just moved to. He traded gold with some, and laughed with others. It was only until Taven saw someone running at him. The man running had noticed Taven's uniform, Aldan. Taven had no clue what to do, but then the man pulled out a sword and screamed Anti-Aldan phrases. Taven, who was trained in sword combat very well, killed the Anti-Aldan just after the terrorist brutally murdered two of the citizens Taven was drinking with and cut off Taven's left hand. After tending to people's wounds, Taven departed, fearing he had already brought too much violence to that small town he was in. On his journey back however, he encountered a man and a woman building a house on Aldan territory. Taven asked them if they were Aldan, but after no response, he had no choice to kill the man and detain the woman. Taven believed it was for the safety of his new nation. The second crusade was also a success, even with his major injury. Taven defeated three potentially dangerous people to Alda, and spread awareness that the growing Kingdom of Alda was not a threat to many citizens of other nations in the area.

Heritage in Bardonia
After living in Kala and seeing it grow, Taven went on yet another crusade to the north. He was hoping to find remains of his ancestors after the brutal collapse of Bardonia. On his journey, he met many locals in the lands north- befriending most of them. Taven told them about what he was trying to do, and the locals, recognizing his last name, told him to go to a city named Carthya City- the current capital of Ryzan. There he found a large, deserted house. There was a sign that said "Johan" on the mail bin. Taven entered the house, skeptical, yet curious. He looked in all the corners, all the rooms, but he found nothing. He remembered his house, but this was not it. Taven entered the study, looking through all the books. It was only until then that Taven was for sure this was his ancestors' house. He had found a diary of what was his grandfather's. He was named Charlemagne. The diary said that Taven's grandfather, Charlemagne, was the Duke of that region at some point in history. Taven also found that the diary mentioned his mother, she was named Maria. Taven was in tears. He found that his father's name was William, and before becoming a politician, he was a soldier just like Taven. Taven searched the house for hours and yet the only thing he found was an old armband. It was worn by William during the Ryzani Civil War. Taven put it on, showing his love for his father who Taven assumed to be dead. After this culture shock, Taven returned home to Kala where he met up with Perry, Ciprilu, Shiki, and Faby.
