Thorin Audell

Thorin Audell is a Sevician statesman and military commander who serves as a general in the Imperial Sevician army. A decorated veteran of more than 20 years, Audell has seen combat in both the second and third wars against Duscador, and has enjoyed a great deal of military success.
== Background ==
Audell was born in the Sevician capital of Morosea in 658 A.S, the only child of a caring mother and a father who served in the army. Audell was ten before he learnt to read and write, taught by a friend of his father's who had once served alongside him. When he was 22, in 680, Audell joined the Easterlands division of the Sevician army.
== Life and career ==
Despite his academic shortcomings, Audell proved himself an eager soldier who was deeply proud of his home and the empire. By 684 he had risen to the role of Captain, which became Major in 686, and general the following year. He was given command of a single legion, the 20th, in 688, and saw his first conflict as a leader during the Second Duscadorian-Sevician War. The war would prove long and brutal, with the introduction of the smoothbore cannon and a rare period of years-long poor weather turning the fighting into slow, prolonged trench warfare and camp sieges, where diseases such as the weeping terror were rife.
Audell earned commendations for his command during the war, which involved a number of victorious skirmishes against the Duscadorian army in the eastern region of the war. In 698 he was awarded the Grand Eagle, Sevicia's fourth-highest military honour. He would serve again in the third war against Duscador a decade later, where he was given command of two legions - V and VI. Though suffering a number of important losses at the battles of Flatbush Hills and the Crossroads, Audell nevertheless was praised for his decisive leadership in the face of superior odds. He remained as a general after the war ended, and as of 713 he still holds command of the V and VI legions.
He married Portia Fraine, a Morosean noble and socialite, in 687, with whom he was one daughter.
