Siegfried Stein

Born in the city of Vor, which is ruled by count Gilles de Fleur, situated across the Napan Isles and with the isle of Malaz in the far horizon. Son of Raymon

d and Edelina, brother to Marie. From an early age I was trained in combat by my father who was the captain of the city watch and taught languages and the ways of the world by my mother who was a teacher and home schooled the count’s daughter Cecilia.

Due to my father’s position and my mother’s I would often find myself playing around the court with my sister, kids of other nobles and even the count’s daughter Cecilia which soon became one of my best friends. Life passed like that calmly and peacefully and at some point, when I reached the age of 16 with the reference of the count I was send to the war college in the great city of Malaz. I would still visit my family in Vor during that time when it was appropriate leave the college to see them. My younger sister turned out to be a prodigy when it came to sword fighting and Cecilia started growing even more beautiful while being groomed for leadership position as her title would have her.

Four years passed like that and it was time for me to graduate, though still at an early stage of my knowledge of the arcane matters I was recruited by Commander Caellius of the Bellator Arcana sect a section of the army focusing on mages being on the front lines wielding swords as well as magic. Another 2 years of training and it was time for my first appointment as part of the security team for the college, which amounted to escorting rich merchants or fat nobles visiting the city wanting to take a look or try to get a spot in for their sons, being a letter courier for teachers to various people in the city and occasionally searching for the wayward student forgetting to return after an outing or stopping a silly fight between students.

So time passed by like that and while rumors where that crime has been increasing, one day a theft occurred in one of the labs of the college and a dangerous substance was stolen. Since I was now an expert in how students would think and using the skills my father taught me I managed to track down the thief who was just a recent admission. Afterwards I was called to the headmaster’s office where commander Caellius was waiting with the headmaster and after complementing me on my success gave me a new job. I would work as an investigator for crimes related to the arcane and travel across the empire to do so. And so, I ventured forth towards my first destination.
