Hiroshi Saxon

Hiroshi Saxon was a Military General and Politician originally from an unknown land in Rathnir. He is best known for being the founder of House Saxon and the father of Ciprilu and Perry Saxon. The Hiroshi Calendar, a calendar used primarily in Alda, is also based on his year of birth. The current year, as of 20th January 2024, is 126 AH.

Early Life
Hiroshi Saxon was born in the capital city of an unknown nation in Rathnir. He didn't have parents so was raised in an orphanage. As a child, he was unpopular amongst the other orphans so spent a lot of his time practicing martial arts. As soon as he was old enough, Hiroshi enlisted himself into the military to pursue his passion. As he rose up the ranks throughout the years, Hiroshi became a very well-known and skilled general. During this time, Hiroshi found a wife and their son, Perry Saxon, was born.

Exiled
As time passed, leadership in Hiroshi's nation changed. Corruption started to brew inside the government, nevertheless, Hiroshi's loyalty was strong so he continued to serve the country. On one mission, Hiroshi's battalion was tasked to set an enemy village ablaze. However, the general disobeyed the order, deeming it morally wrong and turned on his own troops. Back at home, the High King was enraged by this treason and sentence him to death. Therefore, Hiroshi had no choice but to flee his nation and exile himself, leaving behind his wife and baby son.

Sagan Tosu
Years of voyage had passed and Hiroshi found himself at the town of Sagan Tosu in Alfheim. There, he seeked refuge and decided to settle and met a kind woman named Shoko. Hiroshi would then go on to marry Shoko, living together in peace. However, as years passed, the threat of Hiroshi's discovery increased and one day, the Shogun of Sagan Tosu arranged to meet with the man. He explained that he heard rumours of foreign assassins from Hiroshi's homeland had crept closer to Alfheim and that Sagan Tosu would soon no longer be safe for him. Upon hearing this, Hiroshi confronted a pregnant Shoko as they decided flee once more to protect themselves and their hometown.

Kal-Thax
The couple fled west to the neighbouring Kingdom of Sanctuary in search of a new home. They followed the Loyalty Road and encountered the dwarves of Kal-Thax. Hiroshi explained his situation to their leader, Flint, and he sympathetically decided to provide them with refuge in a small cottage on the outskirts of the city. Shortly after settling, Hiroshi and Shoko welcomed their first child together, Ciprilu.

Assassination
Despite finding protection in Kal-Thax, news of Hiroshi began to spread outside of the city and the assassins drew closer. Then tragically, just a few months after Ciprilu's birth, both Hiroshi and Shoko were slain in their own home at night, leaving behind their small baby.
