Bertrum Antiana Yel-Voal

Bertrum Antiana Yel-Voal is the son of Berit Eldwin Yel-Voal and Virusian Antiana and is a mortician and builder. He used his knowledge of dead bodies to disprove the supposed corps of Marus Ludwig and find the location of his father, Berit.
Bertrum swore to help others and make his family a respected and recover their honor because of his part at Berit's Death. 
== Bertrum's life ==
=== Early years and Teens ===
Bertrum spent much of his time with his father and was a curious and nosy kid. He sneaked around the ruins of Riverfeld and was fascinated with the Noble House of the Ludwig's, mainly because of his older brother Leopold.
Once Berit moved to Bannatyne he started to gain interest in architecture. Yet an interest in anatomy also began to form.
In his teen years he started combat training and was taught the Soleviel beliefs. He still spent much of his time with his brother Leopold, who was more of a combatant than Bertrum. They used to have duels with wooden swords and both learned how to shoot with bow and arrow together. While Leopold was better with the sword, Bertrum outmatched him with the crossbow. In his later teens, his brother Leopold was sent far away by their father, because he doubted the legitimacy of Marus Ludwig's death and Berit's involvement which raised some suspicions for Bertrum.
=== Early Adulthood ===
Once he became an adult he finally went after his interest in anatomy and was supported by his father. Bertrum began working on dead bodies and studied on how to determine a persons cause and time of death. With his knowledge he began following the profession of a mortician. 
===== Investigation of Marus Ludwig's Death and Murder of Berit Eldwin Yel-Voal =====
Though the abandonment of his brother never left him and neither did the suspicious reasoning of his father. Then while his father Berit was on a journey to the Colonies of Simulami, he followed him sneakily. After some days both arrived at the ruins of Riverfeld where Marus Ludwig's remains were buried. While Berit traveled further, Bertrum began digging up the grave of Marus Ludwig, After opening the coffin he started inspecting the body and found that the cause of death did not match Berit's tale. Neither was the body that of Marus Ludwig but just a random farmer from Riverfeld. 
After that discovery he began traveling to Stormgova where many members of the House Ludwig were located. Though he stopped when he found a statue of Marus Ludwig in New Jellhelm. While inspecting it he noticed that he wore his eye patch on the left eye. Getting curious he began checking multiple locations where hints might be located. One of the last locations to check was the "Sussy Pearl" in Myrkira. While walking through the town he met his brother, Leopold. As they celebrated their reunion swiftly, they found out that both of them were there to go the Sussy Pearl. Leopold had the suspicion that Berit killed Marus Ludwig, though Bertrum began to think that their father was Marus Ludwig.
Leopold went onto the Sussy Pearl first to check the Captain's Quarters while Bertrum inspected the light house. Leopold then met Berit onboard the Sussy Pearl who was shocked. As Leopold asked him to hand over the letter that Berit carried he began to see the similarities between Berit and the painting of Marus Ludwig. As Leopold mentioned the similarities, Berit laid the letter down onto the desk and drew his blade. As both parties began to fight, Leopold had the upper hand, yet slipped up and was pinned to a mast by Berit.
Bertrum seized that moment and aimed for Berit's hand, not wanting to kill his father. That one shot enabled Leopold to overpower Berit and kill him, his body burned instantly in a blue flame. Bertrum and Leopold met up onboard the ship again, both shook deeply by the death of their father. The letter on the table just read "Even dead, I was one step ahead of you" rendering it as useless. They never found the evidence that Berit was Marus Ludwig, but now both knew that they had blue blood.
===== Aftermath of the murder =====
Bertrum felt deep regret for murdering his father. To repay his sin he cut off any contact with Leopold, knowing that it would be better for the both of them. Bertrum was determined to gain a reputation for the name "Yel-Voal" and began helping people all around. One of the places he started aiding was the nation of Anglunia. Though he craves power and wants to regain the nobility that was taken from him by his father.
===== Time in Lutum =====
To continue rebuilding the name "Yel-Voal" he began setting out to Lutum. He joined Farmington and built housing, docks and other things there. Though this did not go unnoticed. After some time, Bertrum was offered to become Lord Architect/Hanařvoma'řo of Lutum and vie that a member of the Lutum Government and gaining the power he wanted. After a check of his architectural skills by the Aellonsyr and confirmation of his abilities he accepted.
