Koffi l'Blanc, the youngest of his brothers, thus the weakest, tended to the animals (pigs, chicken, cows, etcetera) in the l'Blanc family farm in Lorraine. He had an affinity for animals, they were his passion. It was often that he would return to his brothers grimy and covered in dust and manure for he slept among the animals in the barn instead of his own home, among family. Koffi was never the smartest or strongest when he was younger, but he loved nature, he foraged for wild mushrooms and had his fair share of near death experiences; these often weighed on his brothers who sometimes had to watch him for days, which stunted their ability to work. When the Imperium of Man took Lorraine, he was separated from his brothers while attempting to flee from their burning farm which was ignited by the Imperium. After a year of taking odd jobs to live he finally caught wind of one of his brothers location, he had found Pierre. Shortly after this he quit his jobs, gathered what little he had, and set out to attempt to join his brother as a soldier of the Imperium of Man.
