[h3]Background:[/h3]
[list]Backstory: Loan Klodig was born to a minor noble family in the Kingdom of Carnelfenney, near the city of Trefgodwig. Well, it would probably be more accurate that he was born to a merchant family, but his widowed father did marry a lady a few years after Loan's birth so the family is technically of minor nobility. Plus, Loan had attained officer status when working as a mercenary employed by northern lords in the Quinian-Haltian border against Haltian raiders.

The last year has been quite an eventful one for Loan. He and his men were ambushed by a Haltian raiding party that ended with him captured and transported with others deep into Imperial territory. He and a mismatch of others managed to escape the slave caravan with the help of a sympathetic guard and a princess who was also held in the caravan. The group broke out some individuals from a castle and fought off an orc scouting party at the Morktree. Somewhere in th excitement, one of the members, a peasant Monchian girl, was revealed to be the prophecized Dawnbringer and one member of the party tried to take the life of the princess and kindnapped the Dawnbringer before the girl was retrieved back. Lives were lost along the way. Then, the group took a trek to northern Carnelfenney, to home. 

However, the excitement didn't end once they reached Trefgodwig. War was being prepared now that the Haltians wanted to take the Dawnbringer in a gilded cage for their own use and 10,000 Imperial soldiers attacked the city. Loan was quick to protect his home from the Empire and he and the others fought long enough for royal reinforcements to arrive and relieve the city from the Empire. For his effort, Loan was rewarded handsomely and was appointed by the King himself as the official liaison between the Carnelfennian Royal detachment and Andronika's regiment.

Appearance: [url=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/8d/44/e9/8d44e9629ecbeb8b690d71180fd077eb--tim-curry-treasure-island.jpg]Stands at 5 feet, 7 inches[/url]
[/list]
[h3]Strengths and Weaknesses[/h3]
[list]
Skills: Being a legal expert in the maritime laws of many countries in the Circle Sea, Stefano is educated and is often used for taking part in negotiations with many organizations. Add to that, he is known for his charisma coming from his friendly, flamboyant, and laid back attitude; often used for diplomacy and swooning women.
Weaknesses: While he had trained with weapons for self defense, conflict is not his forte and he’s not one to be looking for a fight. When the fists start throwing, he's finding a table to hide under. He also can’t swim, considering it to be bad luck and tempting the sea spirits.

[h3]Background:[/h3]
[list]Backstory: Astartus Nicolau was born in a small imperial town to a Shariq blacksmith family. Despite his father's attempt to instill the value of honest living, Astartus had little interest in blacksmithing and would fall in the wrong crowd of pickpockets and scammers as a child, getting in trouble with local authorities over petty theft. As part of lashings given by his father and older brother, he would wise up and focus on his education, taking some interest in studying imperial laws. Part of it was a genuine effort for him to reform himself from his teenage years of being a troublemaker, part of it was because he wanted to leave the small town. He made his family proud once he passed the necessary requirements and tests to became a business attorney and was able to move to Inbur.

However, trouble always seems to follow Astartus as he was under suspicion for possible involvement in a smuggling ring (which he was). He was able to flee the imperial authorities and bribed some Calarian trader for him to flee to Calaria. While escaping, Astartus threw some of his personal items overboard. Hopefully, officials in search of him would have written him off as having drowned in the sea.

At Calaria, Astartus grew out his hair and beard and had taken a different personality. The quiet and reserved Astartus Nicolau is no more, now he's the flamboyant Stefano Bene, a legal expert from Calaria. Stefano worked for various merchants and lords, seeking the opportunity to finance his lifestyle of making more money and love to women. He even founded himself within the service of Coralie D’Ambois and her fleet of corsairs, using his words rather than fists to help out the Hasikos pretender. However, something is screaming at him from the back of his mind that this venture may be more than he bargained for.
