Miles Galus

Miles Galus is the firstborn son of Bob Pullus Audalad Galus, the Archon of Theionikos. He grew up in Castle Galus, in the Archonate of Theionikos. From a young age, he was the opposite of his brother Camilus. While his brother was nerdy and well-spoken, Miles was a fighter. It did not take long before not even the personal guard of his father, the principales, could beat him. Because his father, as Archon of Theionikos, already wielded the Sword of Light, he was given the ancestral heirloom of House Galus: Darksbane. He fought many wars both abroad and at home, in the light of his god Theios. His skill as a warrior is unmatched, and his bravery is known to all of Theionikos. He is often described as an adventurous daredevil.

Early live
Miles grew up in the courtyard of castle Galus, practicing his skills in combat. He was also educated in the art of war, and the worship of Theios. His tutors tried to teach him other things, like math and philosophy, but the boy had no interest in these subjects. When he reached the age of 15, not even the principales could beat him. His favorite stories to listen to were those of battle and war. He constantly dreamed of adventure in the open world and the war that comes with it.

The warrior
On the day he reached adulthood, he went to his father to ask for permission to leave Theionikos, in search of adventure. His father gave him a well-made diamond blade as a gift, gave him 100 golden coins, and a horse, and waved him goodbye. He had to do one promise though, to his father and their god: To not ashame his house. "You can die, you can suffer, you can be maimed. These are all possibilities. But never, oh never, ashame or dishonor our House, or you will be my son no more.", his father told him.

With the words and gifts of his father with him, he started his journey. The first place he traveled to was the land of the Sironians, the close kin of the Theioniki. Here he helped the local governments eradicate bandits and other scum from their forests. After his service there was done, he traveled to sparwood, and visited the many diverse cultures and nations there. He specifically liked his time with the castellans. He wished to continue his journey further north but grave news reached him. His sironian kin, who had joined arms with the other Aldoviri, had a Galadonian army coming in. He travelled back to Alteniquia at once, and was just in time to help out the Sironians in the war. The aldoviri narowly managed to withstand the incoming army, but Miles was wounded on his left eye. But this was no ordinary wound, for the Galadonians had applied poison to their blades. He travelled back to castle Galus at once, in the hope that some doctor or priest could save his life.

Resurection
He reached the gates of Ayesinco, barely being able to sit on his horse. His uncle, who was the ruler of Ayesinco, send him off on a ship to castle Galus immediatly. When the ship reached castle Galus, he was caried to his chambers, and word was sent to the priests in Theiotikos to come heal the Archon's son. But before these priests and healers could arrive, the supernatural interfered. It is said that the sun shone through the window, right on the left eye of Miles, where the initial wound was located. The empty eye socket turned bright red, and an eye appeared, as red as the sun, where once his left eye was. This eye shines brightly, like a miniature sun. Miles got up, seemingly unwounded, and said to his father, who was beside his bed all this time: "I have awoken, to serve the one true God, and to serve his land, ever victorious!".
