Nycolas comes from a long line of Highlanders, who came from Norland. However, after the third crusade, his family was forced to retreat to the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska, commonly known as Haense. His older brother, the head of the family, sent the whole family into debt with his gambling. Hoping to run from his family’s problems, he forsook his old name and adopted the name Wilmark. He now travels onward in search of a new life. He has seen the lands of Curon and Sutica. He spent a few years living in the wilderness. He now moves his way towards The Holy Orenian Empire. He is on his way to join the imperial army of Helena. This will give him the opportunity to use his fighting skills to make a living without resorting to mercenary work.
