- House Fluff: House Varkas - The House of the one. A House granted their heraldry for their founder’s action in the pacification of the Eastern Nations, it was there too that they came to dwell, and for a while, things were nice. However, it was not meant to last, as the young house soon found itself set upon by furious dissidents who sought to break away from the Empire at large,and so along with the rest of Imperial rule, House Varkas was pushed out of the Eastern Nations. In recent years, they had managed to cut themselves out a sizable estate in the contested border regions with the aid of some folk who wished to return to Imperial rule. This was a lie, and these "friends" slaughtered House Varkas to a man, or so they thought. In truth, a young boy escaped, the son of the Current head of the house; Roderick, a young boy of the ripe age of 16 by the name of Johan. Now, house Varkas is all but forgotten amongst the common folk, and among the nobility a warning to those who don't keep a watchful eye on their peasantry.
- Personal Fluff: Young Johan, having sought refuge in the nearby woods, could do little but watch as his family was executed one by one for "oppressing the Easterners with their Imperialism" It was seeing his father decapitated and his headed paraded around on a pike that awoken something in Johan, a deep stirring anger. That night, while the scoundrels sleep and grew fat off of his late family's ale stores, Little Johan snuck into the camp and slit their throats one by one. It was the first of many violent actions that would fill the young boy’s life. After burying his family and paying his last respects, he left his ruined home and never looked back, his father's sword the last reminder of his old life. He soon found work in a mercenary band hired on by the border counts to harry the eastern nations, and Johan, ever eager to avenge his past, gladly signed on. After many years and long campaigns, Johan found himself in charge of the mercenary company he had first joined all those years ago. After a stint in the Northern crags, gaining many new scars to the monstrosities there, Johan found himself drawn to the place of his sire’s birth. The Capital. There he soon found use of his skills in service to the Crown’s General, and once more he was able to take up arms (albeit in secret) in his family’s name. He and his men now seek to protect the lands from the enemy within and without, and so long as the New Emperor is a strong ruler who cares for the people, then all shall be well in Johan’s heart. He is currently in the process of petitioning the Crown Prince to allow his former company to join the Imperial Military under his arms, for it would be a shame for such loyal and hardy men to be wasted upon the whims of the nobility more content to fight amongst themselves then against the real threats to the Empire. His hatred of the East remains as strong as ever, and he is eager to see them fall back under the eye of the Emperor, if there is a few bloodbaths along the way, such is the way of war.
