Character Bio: Fiador Godfrey

Fiador Godfrey is the well-off Captain of Deephaven’s Army. He is intelligent, forthright, yet moderately composed. Fiador’s major flaw is the frequent pretense of disdain, and his supposed appearance as stuck-up and narrow-minded estranges him from most company.
As most enthralling heroes go, Fiador has a dark past. He has gotten fairly good at revealing what’s ‘all right’, but he has also, undoubtedly, lied countless times. With his cleverness, he has gotten the position of reputable Captain. His childhood was meticulous; he was born into a prosperous family, and his parents were traders in cloth and spices, settling down in Torna, a city in the mountains. Fiador’s father, Balifor Godfrey was a man undecided with his allegiance. He grew to lean more towards Matheus, but still didn’t want to commit to either side.
At the early age of eight, Fiador experienced one of the most bloodiest raids in Torna’s history. Lothario’s men came; scores upon scores of them to attack the Torna They were after the grimoires in Torna’s extensive library, the crowning achievement of the city. Fiador’s house was raided, and the soldiers took him into captivity.
Thus, after a long march to the Shadowed Realms, Fiador, along with many other young boys, was installed into a training program. First, the boys learned instruction in service to Lothario, what it meant to be loyal to him. Then at age ten, they began combat schooling, and defense tactics. For six years, Fiador was schooled in dark ideals. Then he decided to escape, after a harsh rebuke by his commander. His escaping was successful, under the cover of darkness. His journey across Maharazhad was the start of a change in his heart. Upon his arrival in Deephaven, he focuses on adjusting to the atmosphere. Fiador is drafted to be a soldier in Deephaven’s army, and over four years, builds his way up to the coveted title of Captain. Three months after becoming Captain, he encounters a young, naïve woman lost in a forest. Little did he know that Elspeth was the fulfillment to an ancient foretelling…. and that he would find himself almost unwillingly in love with her ingenuousness.
