PC Name: Pierron Du Mal.
NPC Name: Michel Du Mal.
Relation to PC: Uncle.
NPC location: Chanteaufax.

Describe the NPC (in less than 100 words); Pierron had an interesting upbringing. During much of the year he fended for himself on the streets as a waif (both his parents worked long, long hours in the guild houses and factories), but during summers and also some holidays he got to spend time with his much loved uncle who was the gardener of the DeFleur estate. This was a reprieve from his gritty rest of the time as basically a latchkey kid. Uncle Michel tried to give Pierron exposure to culture as best he could during these summers. "Pierron we 'ave a family historie serving the Defleurs."

PC Name: Verinne van Haute

NPC Name: Crespin van Haute
Relation to PC: Father
NPC Location: Ste. Ronges, Richemulot

Describe the NPC:

This man is now in his mid-fifties, his expression often haggard and weary, wracked by guilt. Once upon a time, he was a part of one of Richemulot's most prestigious watch companies, the Soleils Craimoisi. However, as a result of Verinne's mother seemingly abandoning them both when she was just a little girl, he turned to the bottle and never bothered to crawl out. His alcoholism caused him to be dismissed dishonorably from Soleils Craimoisi, and kept him from holding a steady job for years. Verinne had to support them both, leading her to the unsavory work she was once known for.

Seemingly both sober and gainfully employed, he remains wracked by guilt over his daughter's disappearance, believing he failed her. He continues to hold out hope she's out there, somewhere.

Quote
PC Name: Verinne van Haute

NPC Name: Penelope van Haute
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: ???

Describe the NPC:

Verinne's mother encouraged and cultivated her daughter's seemingly innate love for music, drama, and performance as a little girl. However, it was discovered by her husband that she was having an affair with a wealthy aristocrat from Pont-a-Museau, and, when this affair was discovered, she absconded with him, abandoning Verinne. Her current whereabouts and status both remain unknown, and Verinne has thought very little of her mother and her possible fate.

Relation to PC: Maternal uncle.
NPC Location: Rotwald, Valachan.

Description of the NPC: One blood relative who occasionally wrote to Cristan during while he was training as an acolyte in Ungrad.  They weren't close but the teenaged Cris appreciated their correspondences.  Also, evidently he (Cristan) may have been named after this uncle although the reasons why his mother would have done this are left to speculation. Akkris is or was a beer brewer.  It is unclear whether as of 773 BC he is still alive.

PC Name: Marie Viray


_______________________________


NPC Name: Philip Viray
Relation to PC: Father
NPC Status: Living on the family farmstead outside of Ste. Luciennes, Dementlieu

Describe the NPC: Philip Viray was a common man born to a line of fishermen in Ste. Luciennes. In his early adulthood, he took up what little savings he had and went off to adventure the Core and the known world - in his travels, he was a proponent of helping those in need around him and espousing a derivative of the ideals of the Pureheart Ezrites of Mordent. He often spoke of his good deeds as his Clarion Call, an oath taken on his own honor.

Eventually, after many years and hardships, he decided to settle down with a woman he met on his travels, leaving his vows behind for the sake of family.


_______________________________


NPC Name: Trudi Viray
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Status: Deceased since 770 BC.

Describe the NPC: Trudi Viray was a very quiet and reserved woman with obscure origins. One day, when Philip came back to his hometown, he brought with him this dour bride, and the rest was history. She kept indoors and did not bother to get near anyone - the most attention she would dole out was to her family.

During the days of the Revolution, Trudi Viray was dragged out of her family home, then brutalized and killed in the wheat fields surrounding the farm by looters and brigands, while her husband was in the town for market and her children off at play.

The following weeks, Philip Viray was missing from the farmstead, as were his sword and armor.


_______________________________


NPC Name: Eric Viray
Relation to PC: Paternal Uncle
NPC Status: Deceased since 770 BC.

Describe the NPC: Eric was Philip's younger brother by four years and the middling child of that set of children. Unlike his brother, he stayed at home for all of his life and fought for the Republique during the Revolution and Falkovnian invasion - during the latter event, he was killed in action during the sacking of Port-à-Lucine.


_______________________________


NPC Name: Inès Viray
Relation to PC: Paternal Aunt
NPC Status: Deceased since 773 BC.

Describe the NPC: Inès is Philip's youngest sister by seven years. Not unlike Eric, she enlisted in service of the Republique once she was of age. She survived the Revolution and the oncoming invasion, and became a Halberdier in service to the Company of the Fox. She proceeded to serve faithfully in the campaigns, until she fell in the battle of Col de Sangue.


_______________________________


NPC Name: Roy Viray
Relation to PC: Younger Brother
NPC Status: Living on the family farmstead outside of Ste. Luciennes, Dementlieu

Describe this NPC: A good for nothing, boyish lad of nineteen that spends too much of his time and earned wages at the taverns of Ste. Luciennes. He is Marie's younger by five years. His rebellious tendencies began when his mother was murdered during the time of the Revolution.


_______________________________


NPC Name: Luc Viray
Relation to PC: Younger Brother
NPC Status: Living on the family farmstead outside of Ste. Luciennes, Dementlieu

Describe this NPC: Luc helps his father around the farm most days, and studies odd books his father collected during his travels at night. He is bookish and reserved, and only thirteen years of age - Marie's younger by eleven years.

NPC Name: Katsuo Hoshiko
Relation to PC: Father
NPC Status: MIA since 772, presumed dead

Describe the NPC: Katsuo was a Rokuma samurai under the Shujin of the Southeast. He tried to be a prime member of his community. After his wife and two elder children were killed Katsuo lost his spirit.

He continued to raise Kyou and intended to see the civil war through but the Shujins' pettiness wore on him. When Dementlieuse traders showed up he arranged to leave with them and brought his daughter, now 17.

If he was sick of politics and pettiness he could hardly put up with Dementlieu. He went missing before their caravan arrived in Barovia. Kyou assumes he's dead.

He abandoned Antoinette when Alix was two, and what he was, or what became of him is unknown to Alix. What is known, is that Jacques-Pierre was of raven hair, a single azure eye and one ruined and white from a dueling scar from the ridge of his brow to his cheek, blinding him in that eye. Alix grew to resent, and eventually accept her father's anonymity and lack of a presence in her life.


Quote
PC Name: Alix Sinclair Martineau

NPC Name: Antoinette Martineau, née Lacereaux
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Chateaunoir, Dementlieu (Deceased)

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Antoinette was smitten by Jacques-Pierre almost instantly, and the two wed after a relatively short period of three months, though as rumour would have it, the cause was Jacques-Pierre leaving Antoinette with a child out of wedlock. Nine months later after their wedding, or thereabouts, Alix was born and Antoinette lived happily with Jacques-Pierre, until one day he did not return. Antoinette was left without a source of income and with growing debt, becoming a courtesan and eventually dying of syphilis in late 773 B.C., having estranged herself from the local Ezrite congregation with her work, and the pills of mercury from the Docteur not quite saving her.

PC Name: William Thatcher

NPC Name: George Thatcher
Relation to PC: Father
NPC Location: Glenwich-Mordent

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): George Thatcher is a sailor at heart and of body, who yearns forever for the sea. When he found himself wed to Meredith Thatcher, he felt trapped, bound to the land that his wife preferred. When his eldest son was born, George stayed with him, but when he died, George chose the sea over his wife, his daughter, and his son. Though he would occasionally return for rare visits. 


Quote
NPC Name: Meredith Thatcher
Relation to PC: Mother
NPC Location: Glenwich-Mordent

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Meredith Thatcher was a strong all but single mother of three, raising them as best she could with her husband off at sea. Despite her adversity, Meredith remained a wilful and caring mother to her children, even after she lost all but one. She once ran a simple tailoring shop until her arthritis kicked in, leaving her to remain at home for the rest of her life


Quote
NPC Name: Jonathan Thatcher
Relation to PC: Elder Brother
NPC Location: Glenwich-Mordent † [Deceased]

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Jonathan Thatcher was strong and burly and a boy of few words, much like his father and looked to one day follow in his footsteps, if not for the accident that killed him. He died a little before he reached adulthood. His death caused a change in his father, George, who rarely then stayed on land, choosing to sail for long periods instead.

Quote
NPC Name: Harriet Thatcher
Relation to PC: Little Sister
NPC Location: Glenwich-Mordent † [Deceased]

Describe the NPC (less than 100 words): Harriet Thatcher was the final child of Meredith and George, and set to be a greater beauty than her mother. Bright and cheerful, she was the light of William and Merediths lives before her life was cruelly stripped away from her. Her death left a lasting impact on William, one that he is yet to recover from.

Relation to PC: Father
NPC Status: Serving as Condottieri in Lechberg, Borca.

Describe the NPC: Fiora is estranged from her father after he abandoned her mother before she was born. On occasion, she would run into him during her adolescent years and what she discerned sums the man's outward personality with ease - he is a cruel, mean and lean little man.

_______________________________


NPC Name: Adriana Vernesci

NPC Status: Deceased since 755 BC.

He and his wife ended up raising Fiora as their own into adolescence after the death of her mother, eventually sending her off for studies in Richemulot with their savings. They work on the business together and are equally involved, both shrewd but not unkind entrepreneurs.

_______________________________


NPC Name: Manuel Kleresci
Relation to PC: Aunt's Brother and Baptizer
NPC Status: Deceased since 767 BC.

Describe the NPC: Manuel was a chubby sloth that served as Anchorite of Ezra's First Revelation. He was the family's connection to the Church, and was the one to baptize Fiora with her mother's dying wishes.

Manuel passed to a combined poisoning of food and alcohol.
