Born among the Highlander folk of the northern frontiers, Janos of Varghem was not of great nobility but of stubborn will and a fierce devotion to the Canon. From boyhood he learned war at the edge of axe and flame, defending his village from raiders and beasts. The hardships of his youth forged him into a commander of men, one who valued faith, loyalty, and the sword in equal measure.
As he grew, Janos pledged himself to the service of both God and kingdom, leading levies and knights alike in countless skirmishes against those who would see mankind undone. Though scarred and weary, he gained renown as a stalwart defender, a banner of hope to the weak and downtrodden.
Yet victory came with cost. After years of ceaseless war, his heart grew restless. With peace uncertain and the realms of Aevos ever shifting, Janos now sets forth from his homeland—seeking new battles, new causes, and perhaps, redemption.
