Biography

"So, you want to know a thing or two about Halren Rhaslgard, eh?" He's an older gentleman, this one. He creaks, slowly into a nearby chair, leaning on his cane as he does so.

He sits down, chuckling, "Just the highlights then, hm?"

"I was born in Ala Mhigo, In the year 1527 of the Sixth Astral Era. Son of a nobleman, and an heir to the house of Rhalsgard. Descendent of a long line of noblemen, soldiers, generals... my grandfather fought in the Autumn War, you know."

The older man looks around for a moment, "Ah, might I have a glass of water? My throat- ah! Here we are. Many thanks." He smiles, pausing to take a long drink before continuing his story.

"I was, of course, brought up in the traditional way. Off to the military academy as a youngster, graduation and an officer's commission by my eighteenth year. I was a good soldier, a bright student, a devoted servant of Rhalgar and my family."

His face darkens, now, his tone grows harsher as he speaks.

"And then it all changed. The King of Ruin came to power. My father wouldn't bend the knee. Wouldn't cast aside his honor, or our faith. And so he died. Executed when he refused to aid in the persecution of his friends, his allies, his comrades."

Halren shrugs, "I, unfortunately, did not have the luxury of a noble death. For the sake of my mother, my sisters, my brothers, my own children... I cast aside my father's faith. And my... moral flexibility was rewarded."

"I became a captain. A lieutenant. A general. I did many things I'm not proud of, and few that I am."

He falls quiet for a long moment.

When the Garleans came, we thought we had our chance. I'd joined a small circle of grumblers in the officer's corps. Some worshipped the old god in the secret, others merely resented what had been taken from us. So, when the Garleans offered their aid, we took it. We opened our gates… and doomed our city.”

He sighs, “You can guess the rest, I think. The Garleans took our city, our lands, our sons and daughters. For my protests, I earned myself exile. I’d already betrayed my people once, I wouldn’t do it again.”

He smiles, “And so, I find myself here. A poor, humble refugee, hoping to do a bit of good.”
