Darcius of Kleese Bio
Darcius Kleese of Kleese

Darcius Kleese was born the middle child of seven to Marok, the reeve of Kleese. His mother's name is Lise.

He has two brothers & four sisters. Meagan, the eldest at 25, would be the perfect heir if she was male. She knows all there is know about Kleese & the region. She is sociable & courageous, a born leader. Merrik, 24, is a genius with numbers but he has no social skills. Perhaps that is why he is such a miser. Marian, 22, is the beauty of the family. She is married & has three boys. Ceilia, 17, was married about two months ago. She still has the just married glow. Erika, 16, is the brightest of us all. She managed to impress a mage out of Chathold, when she learned a few cantrips out of an old book she found in the attic, & he is now teaching at a reduce apprenticeship fee. Marcus, 10, is a little devil who can charm his way out of almost every predicament he finds himself into. The little brat was born to be a bard.

Darcius was, even as a child, always the adventurer, an adventurer. It was taught to him early to respect authority, especially if it is represented by an angry mother armed with a wooden spoon. He also learned Old Oeridian from the same source like the rest of his brothers & sisters.

As Darcius grew older, he had to take some responsibilities. Because his older brother was the heir, his choice were down to the sword, the clergy or the robe. He never liked sermons from anybody or himself for that matter, so clergy was out. His father could not afford the apprenticeship as of a mage. Pretty much his only choice was to become a warrior and help with
the local militia. He did learn from his father about leadership and economy of governing a village. He wants to apply that knowledge to commanding the local militia someday. The rest was taught to him by Stephan, his mother's older brother, who had come to stay at Kleese for a while.

Stephan had seen the world & had done things that most of us can only dreams of. Darcius was shown the proper way to wear armor from the lightest to armor so heavy that you would be like a turtle if you fell on your back. He was taught to master the axe & to wield a shield. He also learned to wield the kukris, a weapon unknown in these parts, and ride a horse for his uncle had a few. From his uncle, he learned the language of the wild orcs because to know the language of your enemy is to look into its culture, its being, its stratagies, reasons for all they do & don't do. The language of the dwarf was also part of the lessons because if you get the respect of a dwarf you have a friend for life but mainly because there are lots of dwarvens ruins out there & if you read dwarf you can get clues how to get in & out alive. Stephan was gone one morning leaving a note explaining that his wanderlust had resurfaced but he thought Darcius ready to face the world. He also left his kukris and a horse as parting gifts.

At the age of 14, he was selected to be the companion to Galen, son of prince Herrel of Munevar. In the beginning, he thought his charge to be a spoiled brat, which Galen is, but after a while he recognized a kindred spirit, an adventurer. So with that revelation, Darcius started accompanying Galen wherever he went, getting to know Oliver(Galen's crony) & getting more serious about his responsibilities as a companion. Those are: to teach Galen how to defend himself(which was pitiful at first), trying to keep him out of trouble(but sometimes to get him into it), to stop people from giving him too bad a beating(other then Prince Herrel's lackeys), to laugh at his bad jokes(he has an endless supplies of them), to bring some common sense in his life(something which he clearly lacks) & to show support for his various activities(too numerous & frivolous to name). Not to say that he hasn't enjoyed Galen's company. Sure there were times when the morning after have been rough but so far he has no regrets.

Now the adventure begins.

Oh yeah, good to point out that he was offered a commission with the Blue Liveried cavalry of Ralsand after defeating a Knight Protector of the Great Kingdom in single combat.

Darcius a guy with an Haxe. :)

A big fighter with a big head...err...heart, sorry. He's vicious against his foes and strong for his friends. And he gets all the girls, without even trying. Which is more than a little galling for his buddies when they are out on the prowl. He climbs and sneaks almost as good as a rogue, and the only time he speaks he's making a good suggestion.
