Bio:

Born Kristoph Lurian Maria, he comes from house Eiseboum, a once loyal subject to the last King of Ixion, it nonetheless had played only a little part in the war that occured 20 years ago. For this, it fell from grace, but fortunately for Eiseboum family the war was lost and the King was defeated before there could be any repercussions.

In the chaotic period that followed, House Eiseboum managed to both obtain a curse of bad luck and seize some land, only to lose the latter against the new power of the Ixionese council. Faced with either exile or joining those whom bested them, Lord Yaron Eiseboum decided to join the council; this has angered his two brothers quite a lot, and there wasn't less strife within his immediate family either, for his first wife left along with their daughter.

Left with two sons, who were by then shaping up to be handsome and skilled lads, interested in arcane pursuits and history (Kristoph), or in arts and music (Kristoph's little brother, Haakon), decided to re-marry, and for his next wife he has choosen Lady Ingrene Bresleu.

While beautiful and definitely loyal to her new husband, the young lady was rather pissed off that there were some people more important to Yaron than her; Ingrene begun to despise and even hate the two teenage boys. She made their life as hard as possible, constantly nagging their father that it is unbecoming for two sons of a noble, martial-oriented house to pursue wimpy crafts like history and music.

Unfortunately, the older Yaron was getting, the less enthusiastic he was about his sons' pursuits and the more he was willing to lend an ear to the scheming Ingrene. Finally, one day, just as Kristoph and Haakon were talking about pursuing their hobbies, Lord Yaron entered the room and gave the two an ultimatum - become a knight and carry on the family tradition, or leave and do whatever you want.

After discussing this with Haakon, Kristoph decided to leave - his brother, two years younger, decided to stay. They made a secret promise, however; find a way to annul their father's marriage on whatever grounds possible, or, when he dies - he was 54 by now - remove the poisonous thorn that is Ingrene from Eiseboum family once and for all.

For this, Kristoph embarked on a journey, to find friends, maybe a fiancee, but most importantly, to find connections. Maybe there is someone who has a some dirt on Ingrene, that would be the best, especially if Haakon gathers enough evidence against Ingrene during her 'rule' of the family manor.

Kristoph's journey has also a second goal, one of a selfish nature. Free from tyranny of Ingrene and with world open before him, there's plenty of opportunities to visit libraries, monasteries, wizard towers and ancient vaults full of knownledge and less or more forgotten secrets and artifacts. Maybe, just maybe, amongst those secrets is the way to lift the curse of bad luck that is affecting Kristoph's family.

Scholar at heart, mercenary by demand, Kristoph Lurian Maria of Eiseboum, aged twenty, is now roaming the land, unsure where his journey ends.
