Velvet Arman Luti

=Character Backstory=
Born on January 28, 1796 in the Port City of Veracruz in New Spain. He was the first of nine children of Arms Merchants for the Spanish Army in New Spain. He would grow up at the family home until he reached the age of 12 where he was sent to Mexico City for a higher education. He later on returned home as the first fires of the Mexican War of Independence burned to life. Soon after traveling to Portugal with the hopes of his People on his shoulders, his life changed forever when he encountered the Order Of Vallentus.
=Early Life=
Born to Mestizo Arms Merchants, he was raised in the lively workshop of his parents. During this time he was educated at home while simultaneously learning his family’s delicate and beautiful trade. Due to their standing- his family would constantly talk of the turmoil in Europe, giving Velvet his first views of the greater world. 
While at home, Velvet was very much a caring older brother to his other eight siblings, making sure to play with them whenever he could- even if fatigue was pulling at him. Even though young, he would always stand up for his brothers and sisters, making sure no harm befall them within his hands. As such, even through hard times, he would always stand back up as they repaid his actions forwards.
It was then that after 14 years, he was sent to Mexico City to receive a better education.
=Teenage Years=
Upon arriving in Mexico City, he soon began his education in earnest, learning business and etiquette. Then, on September 17th- merely a day after the Cry of Dolores was passionately shouted by Miguel Hidalgo while backed by the glorious sound of church bells- that the news of revolution reached the city and the ears of a young- yet growing- Velvet.
He had stayed in the city during the entirety of the Hidalgo Revolt and- once having learned of the devastating Battle of Calderón Bridge- wrote back to his parents while also dabbling into military warfare. Soon after, he was recalled home where he found great surprise.
Upon arriving, he found out that his parents- and family as well- had become sympathetic to the revolutionary cause that was rising all across New Spain. The family home soon became a meeting place for revolutionary leaders. Velvet, who was now at an age considered mature enough, had begun to join the talks that were held at his parents home, even meeting men such as José María Morelos, Vicento Guerrero, Agustín de Iturbide, and Guadalupe Victoria. It was then that on July 30th, 1812, it was decided that Velvet would lead a small Merchant fleet with supplies to Portugal in order to help the British with hopes that one day they would return the favor.
=Journey to Europe=
On August 30, Velvet left the Port of Veracruz on his family’s largest ship- renamed Esperanza- to the Port City of Callao. The cargo consisted of 500 guns and ammunition to keep them firing for a month. Along the way, he had met up with another two ships, each carrying Tequila, Tobacco, and Cocoa. Upon arriving at port, he met up with the two Peruvian ships that were awaiting him, both carrying Coca leaves along with provisions and Pisco.
On September 22, the merchant fleet of ships then set sail for Portugal, in hopes of arriving to Europe before November. After a difficult 5 week journey- which resulted in some loss of Peruvian provisions that were to be saved for the British- the Merchant Fleet arrived to the Port of Lisbon. Upon arriving closer to port, the flag of Mexico- fruit of the hard working women of the revolution- was raised high above the Esperanza in order to ease tensions as they docked. Thus, Velvet had completed his Journey to Europe.
=Joining the Order=
When arrived at Port, Velvet- expecting British and Portuguese troops, was surprised when Spaniards approached the ship. He immediately became defensive, refusing to let even a single Spaniard on any of the ships or even trade with them. After a few days had passed, they received news that the British were arriving at the port after hearing news of the commotion they had caused at their vital supply base. It was then that Velvet had cooled his head after being introduced to an English Major, William J. Cooke. Through the use of a translator and Velvet’s broken English, they exchanged the transfer of the entire cargo to Allied hands for a fair price.
After all was said and done, and the cargo safely brought off the ships and into the trusting arms of the allies, Velvet- after conversing more with Cooke- decided to join the Order of Vallentus and to send the merchant fleet back on its way home. Velvet soon joined the fury of battle all the way to Vitoria and the battles that followed.
=Present Day=
After Waterloo and the formation of the new Nation of Vallentus, Velvet had been approached by his now good friend, William Cooke, to be his adjutant, a role he gladly accepted. Now he fights for Vallentus as a Sternator, alongside his friends and allies.
To this day, his English remains a scrambled bit.
