[u][b]A Brief Description and Recent History:[/b][/u]

Nycarro Qosaerys, famed sellsword and adventurer, veteran of a half dozen sieges, survivor of a half hundred field battles, and occasional pirate, now found himself to also be the most recently deposed captain-general of the Maiden's Men during the sack of Tolhorys. 

Tyrosh and Myr's most recent conflict in the Disputed Lands led to the siege of the Tyroshi-held town, and Captain-General Qosaerys's brothers in arms, sellswords of honor matched only by their courage, resolved themselves against dying in defense of the town by whatever means necessary.  As such, they made to unceremoniously dispose of their fearless leader by murder and open the gates to the enemy in exchange for their lives.  They were successful in the second part of that plan, but Qosaerys proved a wily victim of attempted murder, and evaded not only poison and dagger but the Myrish-employed sellswords who were, in short order, on the definitively wrong side of the town's walls (from the perspective of a local resident, anyway). 

Evading capture and/or death with admirable aplomb, Nycarro Qosaerys reached Pentos with the assistance of no companion save for a goat he affectionately named Racallio.  There, he secured for himself a paper of engagement, signed by the Prince of Pentos himself, authorizing the recruitment of sellswords and -sails for a new mercenary company.  This collection of brave companions, flying under a newly commissioned banner bearing the likeness of the aforementioned goat, would engage in honorable mercenary work across the Free Cities and the Narrow Sea, and mayhaps some revenge against that traitorous bitch Lysandra Dagareon, the usurping Captain-General of the Maiden's Men.

[u][b]Age:[/b][/u]  Six and Forty.

[b][u]Appearance:[/u][/b]  

In his younger days, Qosaerys may have cut quite the image of the dashing bravo. The slender water dancer's blade, the Myrish stiletto, the waxed and dyed moustache and beard, the colorful garb, the feathered hat, and the sharp, cutting grin all make for the picture, but the man himself is twenty years too old and more than sufficiently battered by life's wanton hardships and meanness.  His eyes are tired, his skin is weathered by long years in the sun, his hair is thinning, and his teeth are not as a white or entirely present as they used to be. 

[b][u]Description & biography:[/u][/b]  

Captain-General Nycarro Qosaerys was not always Captain-General of the Maiden's Men.  Before that, he joined the Company of the Cat as a crossbowman, led men as a junior captain in the Free Company, took to the seas as a sellsail on a Lyseni galley, went back to land shortly thereafter as a captain with the Men of Valor, betrayed the Men of Valor to join the Maiden's Men, and fought for years all along the way with those and other employers and companies unmentioned.  

Ultimately, there is not a Free City Nycarro Qosaerys has not fought for, and only a handful he has not not betrayed while in their employ.
