His eyes are lit like blue flames which contrast against his olive skin complexion and dark hair. Griff has distinct and piercingly strong facial expressions with a squarely edged jaw. [center][h2]Knight; Duelist[/h2][/center] [center][h2]Personality[/h2][/center] Griff is introverted, pragmatic, and calm. He has no issue being decisive, but as a strategic thinker who understands the important silence between action, he takes his time unless backed into a corner. Griff wrote in one of his field handbooks titled, “Our Charge”, given to his soldiers upon enlistment, “There is a time to pause and a time to strike, discerning between these modes is the path to mastering life’s challenges.” (Spaeros, 990E, pp. 7). Griff fears losing men to his own ignorance. He takes great pain in protecting those who serve him and ensure that when decisions are made, they are made for the right reasons. Griff’s intrinsic motivation springs from his family’s lineage and dedication to Belisio, even more so, he is motivated to do what is right by his God above the House of Spaeros. [center][h2]Background[/h2][/center] [b]Overview[/b] Griff is the youngest sibling to an older sister named Cassandra Spaeros. He is the only son of Dagon and Beatrice Spaeros. Born in the House of Spaeros as a young boy he was educated in martial arts, philosophy, leadership, strategic management, war and peace, calligraphy, speaking, and military tactics. Spaeros was the 7th lineage of a list of families who held Belisio up since it’s fruition in the days of the Ancients. Once Lords to a King, now Knights to a nation, the Spaeros continue their tradition in training their young for serving as Knights of Belisio. Griff is no exception to the rule. Trained young and fiercely tested, he became the youngest of the Spaeros line to be Knighted by the Belisio Houses. Griff began his first efforts in combat under the tutelage and command of General Seiger, a commanding officer from one of the allied nations who called upon Belisio to aid their lines against the Vaim in the beginning days of war. Sieger, an old philosopher who turned Battlemage when Vaim declared war on his home had taught Griff about the nuances between Mana and Ki. Sieger would claim 19 victories before his death in the Battle of Gein Valley. Griff along with a troop of soldiers were defending one of the village settlements in the area when Sieger was declared dead. The Battle of Gein Valley continued for two more days before Vaim ultimately took control of the most strategic positions forcing Griff and those left on the Allied side to retreat. Vaim had swept quickly across the land and the nation Belisio had vowed to support was now engulfed in the flames of Vaim. Griff and the rest of the Belisians were ordered to return to Belisio for the war for their friendly nation was lost. Griff would regroup at his family’s estate up on the hillsides overlooking the Sea of Belisio. Licking his wounds Griff was ordered by his Father, Dagon, to act as a security for one of the government officials who was to meet with defacto agents of Vaim. Griff would escort the official into a trap resulting in one of his close comrades Ezikiel to be killed by Ohren Forec, a Mage of Vaim. Griff and the government official were able to escape the ambush with their lives, retreat back to Belisio, and begin preparation for the front lines of Vaim to reach the lands of Belisio. [b]House of Spaeros[/b] The House of Spaeros is the 7th original house of families who established Belisio. The motto of Spaeros states, “Here be living legends and dead dragons.” The motto recognizes legacy, vitality, strength, and a warrior’s attitude toward beasts who wish to scorch the land with their vile breath. The crest of Spaeros bears the Griffon of Belisio symbolzing; watchfulness, invincibility, strength, and the relationship between psychic and cosmic forces. The Griffon in the Book of Sons fights dragons in winged combat while protecting the golden gates of Heaven.
