Belisarius orne'valerin

Belisarius the inheritor is a count in the Audalad state of Anoshphey, He has lived a long life for a goblin and has accomplished many things, But his unbridled ambition will lead him ever onward to new heights of glory once thought impossible for somebody of impoverished origins.

Life begins in the gutter
Belisarius was born into a hard existence as a vagrant and a desert nomad wandering the sands of Yimmu Audal's vast desert interior. He survived by begging and eating from the garbage in the abandoned cities he often looted. His only thing of value to him during these first 15 years of his existence were his clothes, a modest peasant's habit dyed with yellow flame patterns typical of night goblins such as himself. He began practicing noxism at an unknown time during these years. He had little money and could not always afford to stay at an inn. He slept in the sands on many nights to hide himself from robbers and other creatures of the night. He didn't know who his father was and wondered often, Sometime he wondered if he had been born of the sands and did not have a father. He lost his eye in a encounter with a bandit who ripped out his eye. Ever since then he has had a redstone bionic with a green emerald lens implanted in place of the missing eye. He cannot recall when the procedure to implant it was undertaken or how he managed to afford such an expensive piece of equipment. But he always manages to spin a new story of how he got it when he is asked. Some tales he has told say it was handed to him by a noxist god.

A new life calls
After bumping into a man named joe after searching for housing on a particularly hot day. Joe agreed to take him in and give him a house in his town of Pasouthak, in the state of Theionikos He built a small house on the edge of town and lived there for a few months. Finally enjoying stable employment as a miner he learned the advantages of a civilized life. Later on he converted to the faith of Hukar Sharud and Theiosism. And professed himself as truly Audalad. He became a religious fanatic to such a degree that he would proselytize to anyone who would listen. He began to have religious experiences where Hukar Sharud and Theios would whisper in his ears and tell him he was destined for a life of glory and would defeat the enemies of Yimmu Audal. In order to prove he was a true Audalad. He contacted count Gray and he was told to journey to the city of Prisma. Where he would become a soldier.

Becoming a military man
He met one of his long time friends, Count Abdoulla of Prisma. They would drink together often and talk for many hours about their lives. He would often work for Abdoulla for free. After arriving at Prisma and settling into his new quarters. He would be issued his armor and his horse, Who he would ride for many years before losing him tragically... He loved how massive his new castle home is. And he participated in many anti bandit patrols. He undertook military training and became learned in the arts of strategy, often secluded in Prisma's scriptorium reading ancient manuscripts and thinking of events to come. Being less physically capable than many other species, Goblins have a predisposition to make up for these physical inadequacies with low cunning and intellect. He also studied religion and became an informal theologian. He would spend many nights in the temple and on Prisma's highest peak. He would become a collector of arms and armor. Even though much of his collection, including a rare painting of the holy ogre and his original other eye would be plundered at a later time... He would often use adding an item to his collection as an excuse for taking it. With mixed results. He would often start to have more religious experiences at this time. These could be a result of his replacement eye. he lived like this for years. Until a new chapter in his life began, He learned who his real father was. Before this he had tried to found a family called the Sparweiss family with Rocklode named for his origins in the war torn wastes of that continent. The family later failed as they could not find anyone to marry before Rocklode tragically died. His father was Talon Kaine of Tortuga and he met him in a bar while discussing his life story with him. When Belisarius's origins sounded similar to one night that talon had many years ago in his youth he apologized for abandoning his son. And Belisarius forgave him because he knew he would not be in a position to raise a son in that situation. But he was also invited to meet his relatives in the host family who he was not very attached to. Due to living in Yimmu Audal he felt that finding an adopted family would take him more than his Tortugan family. But he still carries an immense respect for his father because he was one of the original Tortugans, and was very happy to finally learn that he did in fact have a father.

Burgeoning nobility
Belisarius joined the ranks of the nobility when the title of the fortress of Nos became available. It was awarded to him by Abdoulla of Prisma and he quickly turned Nos into a defensive strong point in case of an invasion from the north. Nothing much happened during this chapter of Belisarius's life. he just built and mined. He did some minor business endeavors but was mostly quiet and did his job. He continued his duties as a soldier but no major wars broke out. This changed when he was adopted by kj Wei-Du Orne'Valerin and joined the true noble houses of Anoshphey. This was the adoptive Audalad family he had been waiting for. He quickly became well liked among members of the family and had a lot of fun with them. Around this time he would meet his long time friend and colleague and adoptive brother, Chili of Lithranor. They would often discuss military stuff and they would later write the codex of Anoshphey together with Abdoulla and Fireworkker. Later in this period of his life things were going pretty fast. And it all reached its apex when Abdoulla abruptly announced his retirement from his position as Brand Bashar and count of Apasiril. This was shocking news for the people of Yimmu Audal and it took a great emotional toll on Belisarius as he had come to see Abdoulla as a mentor figure in his life. And he wrote page after page of mad ramblings prophesizing his return.

Not only was there an emotional toll but also the Astyllean forces at the second battle of yestanbul was to be led by abdoulla. With his sudden disappearance the Astyllean army was completely thrown into chaos. The result would be a crushing defeat and treacherous and barbarous Yestanbul's independence was secured. After this the Astyllean army had to be reorganized. And Belisarius was put to the task. Putting the golden codex, A book containing military organizational principles for the armies of Astyllea into effect in the Knights Of Anoshphey, Because he had become marshal after Abdoulla retired. It would take several months for him to fully implement the system into the KOA. After Abdoullas departure he ended up finally disowning his goblinoid name, Mehtul bawkses (Meaning he who carries metal boxes) For his new name, Belisarius. As well as taking the epithet of "The inheritor" Later made official by Nattynuke. This marks the beginning of the modern stage of his life.
