Duke Hansell was born in Helena, the capital of the Holy Orenian Empire. He was born in a family of farmers. Anyway, he had an older brother who joined the ISA (Imperial State Army). His father always wanted Duke to be a farmer so he could help in the family business. At first Duke started helping in the farm, when he turned 18 he went to hunt with a friend. It was at this moment when Duke knew he didn't wanted to work in the farm because he wanted to be a hunter. His family supported him so when he turned 23 he opened his own butchery.
