=== Journey to Eldham ===
The Confederation of Konatto from which Maguro originates was thrust into civil war when Maguros father, Chieftain Calanon attempted to centralize the confederation into a more modern state. Calanon dreamed of a federation that could protect all citizens of Konatto from external invaders. When these reforms were announced the council of Konatto was instantly split between supporters of this new federation, and those that wished for the status quo to remain intact. Due to civil war in Konatto Maguro grew close to his mother Emilia as his father was always planning the war or leading their armies to victory. The war dragged on for quite some time as both sides appeared evenly matched, unfortunately for the confederation an outside power would soon intervene. A coalition of Goblin tribes and an orc confederation formed to take down Konatto. In the years just before the civil war taking down the coalition would have pushed Konatto to the brink to win the war, even if Konatto suddenly reunited to fight the coalition they would have still been completely obliterated. its estimated that the war only lasted 6 months to a year, and most of that time was due to traveling from city to city. When the Orc's reached the capital of Konatto - Stugg, The Orcs produced a list of demands 
# All heirs to Konatto's thrown be delivered to the Orcs immediately 
# The Chieftain and Chieftainess renounce their claims to the confederation 
# The Chieftain and Chieftainess swear fealty to the Orcs 
# The Chieftain and Chieftainess Abdicate and give the thrown to someone in their family of the Orcs choosing 
# The Confederation of Konatto is annexed by the Orc's federation 
upon hearing the demands Chieftan Calanon attempted to stall for as long as possible as he loaded everything he could onto the Konatton war fleet. The capital of the Confederation was situated on the ocean and as such, the fleet of the whole confederation was kept there. It has seen very minimal use during the civil war and as such was completely intact. The only problem with the fleet was the fact that it was very outdated, in fact Calanon was not even sure they would be able to make it far from Konatto in the boats, but there was one truly sea worth ship, the U.K.C Barret. It was the flagship of the whole fleet and as such, was built to withstand the harsh reality of the seas. Calanon ordered his royal guard and his family onto the U.K.C Barret. He also had his Royal Guard load the ship with Konattos most valuable treasures, and all the food left in reserve - 6 months worth. The stories in Konattos religion, Astroism, spoke of another land mass, a land of milk and honey where his family could be safe. While Barret was never a devout follower of Astroism, He had always believed of this fabled land. Once the boats where full and his family was aboard, instead of joining them Calanon sent them off. Maguro, his mother and his two sisters yelled for Calanon. The royal guard had to hold Maguro down as they feared that he would jump off the ship to try and help his father. Calanon knew that if he wasnt there to distract the Orcs with a battle they wouldn't forget, then his family would never be able to escape unnoticed. 
The U.K.C Barret continued onwards, but soon the ships accompanying it had to risk capture and return to shore to avoid drowning. One month turned to two, two turned to 4, and 4 turned to 6. even with the strict rationing that had been going on since the begging their food could not last for more than 2 months more. The Royal guard considered turning the ship around, but they realized that they were better off taking there chances with this so called land of milk and honey. nearly three months later, the only "food" that remained on board where the occasional rat or two that had not starved yet. Suddenly off in the distance, they spotting a few small corvette like ships, approaching rapidly. The Royal guards readied their weapons and gathered what little strength that they had remaining. Suddenly, harpoons where fired from ballista like structures on the Corvettes. It turned out that there were four of these small crafts. The Royal guards tried to detach the harpoons to no avail. Soon Orc like creatures started to climb the chain that the harpoons fired. Once the Orcs borded the ship they quickly dispatched of the exhausted Royal gaurd. The royal family fled to the armory of the ship in an attempt to take shelter, they were accompanied by Roccondils instructor in the ways of combat and warfare. The orc like barbarians ravanged the treasury of the boat and quickly made their way to the armory. Roccondils instructer urged the family to run, and against his gut Roccondil did. They escaped the armory through a secret trapdoor which lead to grainery, from the grainery they quickly made there way to the top deck and searched for a life boat. Alas the instructors sacrifice was not enough as the orc like monsters ravanged their way back onto the top deck and found the royal family searching for a way off the hellscape that the orcs had manifested. The family pleaded to be spared but they found no such relief and all but the young Roccondil were quickly cut down. Roccondil drew his sabre, dull may it be, in an attempt to defend himself after his mother had failed to do so. He was able to reflect and parry some of the orcish blows but he was no match for their otherworldly strength. They knocked him to his knees quickly and threw him on their poorly contructed boats and instead of saving the U.K.C Barret, they set it alight and made Roccondil watch it be cast into the ocean blue. Once the ship had gone under, the orcs seemingly lost interest in the young boy, they took his dulled sabre, his crown, and all of his other valuables and then proceeded to stab the young boy with a rusty dagger, and then threw him into the sea. 
===Arrival in Eldham===
Roccondil awoke disgruntled and confused in a bed in Amemachi. Apon awaking he attempted to jolt up from the bed, only to feel a pain to horrid that it nearly in knocked the young half elf back into his slumber. Slowly the Third Shogun of Rohkia Xynexis aproached the young man, while they could not communicate the Shogun made it expressly clear that he was there to help. The shogun unsheathed his katana and placed it on the floor. Roccondil, while still on edge, saw this gesture as it was intended. For the next month or so Roccondil rested while Xynexis taught him how to speak Rohkian and Rodinnian (name pending). Roccondil quickly grasped these languages and once he was on his feat quickly started working to improve the shogunate of Rohkia.
=== Roccondil in Eldham ===
Not long after Roccondil arrived in Rohkia he was appointed as Hand of the Shogun. With this title Roccondil gained juristiction over the more political parts of Rohkias very being. Of course The Shogun had final verdict on the things Roccondil was assigned to administer. With his new title Roccondil requested that Xynexis bestowed a more Rohkian name apon the half-elf. Roccondil would go by Maguro for all future endeavors. Although he still allowed his close friends to call him by his Elven name.
=== Personality and political ideology ===
Maguros is a strong beliver in Republicanism and seperation of power. He helped spearhead the Gicho reform with the help of the other Hand of the Shogun, The Shogun himself, and The Black Mouth. This reform created a partially Republican governing house that allows citizens of the Shogunate to elect representatives who can propose and vote on legislation. Maguro is also a firm believer in equality and equal representation, even for the orcs who he despises.
When it comes to Maguros personality he can be described as a protective, caring, analytical and indescive. Maguro often is seen acting like a father to those in danger, putting himself in between the threat and the threatened. This goes hand in hand with his caring side, as Maguro dedicate vast amounts of his time just to improve the lives of those he cares about slightly. His analytical side comes from his father, Maguro will outright refuse to procced without thouroughly understanding the ins and outs of a situation. Unfortuanly indecisiveness seems to be a symptom of his analytical side as even when the options are laid out clearly in front of the young Shogun he can take far to much time to decide on what to do, which often leads to the opportune moment being lost.
