Galiron Galati

Galiron is the first born son of Andris Galati and older brother of Amadeus and thus, like them a half human and half Snow Elf. A General within the the Knights of Cilbaen and retainer to the King of Kona, he served protecting the lands from invasion of the east and helped supress the scourge from the fiends of darkness. 
He is regarded as one of the greatest talents of his generation and wields one of the few remaining Alami blades that exist which was gifted to him by the Prince of Kona, Hadrian. Though he does not like nor accept it, he is the grandson of the King of Athol, Mateusz. When he killed his uncle, Prince Saturoz during the battle of Lucere at the silent valley, he became the legitimate heir of the Atholian empire in the east of which he never had had any intention of claiming.  
When King Tobias was dying, not knowing the fate of his children he suggested to his sons that if they too should perish to the mysterious disease that plagued them then perhaps they look to House Cilbaen for a successor and suggests Galiron be considered to be the next King of Kona which coincidently would have meant Galiron could have become ruler of both the major powers of western and eastern Lucere. When Hadrian ascended the throne and it was clear that sickness had passed, Galiron who had no intention of bearing a crown moved to Kona and took up position of Kingsguard swearing an oath to protect Hadrian, the true King of Kings as Galiron put it. 
Teen Years
Obsessed in following his fathers footsteps, Galiron trained for hours a day with a blade and it showed. Frustrated that life in Leuven was not a place for a warrior such as himself he felt needed a change of scenery. Despite Talia's pleas for him to just try to get by and accept who he was, his dreams and heart lay elsewhere. At 16 he gave little effort in class and struggled to awaken his will of fire. 
During a visit from Prince Hadrian of Kona, he was approached by Hadrian who had taken interest in the boy knowing very well of his famous father. After quizzing the boy he realised how similar he was to his old man despite lacking his fathers infamous black hair. He explained how he was a good friend of his dad and showed off a scar that adorned his arm which was a remnant of a run in with his father. Impressed how the boy wielded a blade the Prince with Dalzell's permission gifted Galiron a precious Alami blade and a few words of wisdom citing that a blade is only as good as the warrior that wields it and that he was sure Galiron would get better use out of it than him. The Prince knowing for sure of the hardships that the next generation were likely to face told Galiron to use the sword to protect those most precious to him. Galiron told the Prince of his ambition to reach the heights of his father and of his failings but Hadrian responded telling the boy to focus on his strengths and to build his own legend rather than walking in his fathers shadow and these words struck a chord.During the second Snow Elven migration, Hadrian spoke again to Galiron. This time he Invited the boy to visit Cilbaen if a warriors life is what he truly sought. citing that the Knights of Cilbaen or the warriors of Lionsford would be eager to meet the son of Andris Galati. Later when their caravan was ambushed. Galiron bravely defended his pregnant mother and a nine year old Darius single handily dispatching a group of trolls with his new sword. In the panic his mother went into labour giving birth to his younger brother whom she named =Amadeus. Galiron took care of his new sibling as they proceeded off the mountain. Shortly after the Snow Elves settled in the alpine garrison, Galiron dropped out of class with permission from Dalzell. He was the first student ever to fail to master how to cast a flame under the Maester. 
Adulthood
Galiron took up Hadrian's offer and joined the Knights at House Cilbaen and over the next few years honed his craft. His commanding presence and unrivalled skill allowed him to climb the ranks. Rarely visiting home and only sending letters back he dedicated the next 15 years of his life to the lord at Cilbaen and in turn the crown at Kona. Finally promoted to Master General it was around this time that he also started sending letters to Amadeus who was now around his age when he himself had left inviting his younger brother to join him as a knight. Whilst this request was always denied, the messages brought the brothers closer together and Galiron was happy that Amadeus had finally mastered his will of fire. 
The Siege on the Alpine GarrisonDuring the siege on Snow Elves new home at the Alpine Garrison, a smoke signal billowed as a call for aid. The Knights of Cilbaen where nearest the area and thus first to respond to the call for help. Galiron lead the charge through the western gate and helped repel the combined might of the fiends of darkness and the Atholian forces that had surrounded the fence and breached parts of the northern gate. 
Confused at the sight of dragonfire and burning corpses Galiron pressed forward and reunited with his father and brother. The trio fought side by side for the first time together. Galiron clashed with the Atholian Prince Saturoz by the river. Andris, tired from a lack of sleep and fatigue from fighting was blind sighted and mortally injured by his half brother whilst trying to defend his sons. In his last moments Andris rejected any of the his ties to Athol and declared how proud he was to be a Snow Elf of the Silver Mountains. For a second time in his life such words of wisdom cut deep into Galion who had once abandoned Leuven to find his place elsewhere. Had he surpassed his father? and if so... did it really matter in the end? For the first time in 16 years he reunited with his childhood friend and love intrest, Talia who comforted him. 
After the battle, Galiron along with Amadeus mourned their father along with Hadrian who had arrived with Kona's main forces. It was decided that they would retreat and take refuge within the walls of Kona as per request of King Tobias. Dalzell who was captured in the battle was to be abandoned for the time being by his own accord. Galiron aided in the evacuation of the civilians. On the road Damani insisted that a small party would divert to the elvish glades where Andris would be given a proper burial. When Galiron asked why time was being taken for Andris and not Damani's own father. The Maester citied honouring the dead was equally as important and that the Tassinari's will of fire would protect Dalzell who's choice of sacrifice should be respected. Whilst burying their father, Amadeus asked Galiron to join the Knights to avenge their father but Galiron ultimately declined telling him that Amadeus would indeed fight and play a role in the war, but not as a knight. He was adament that Amadeus should fight as a Snow Elf of the Silver Mountains just as their father did. In this moment, King Tobias apologises to Galiron after telling him the story of when he once stopped Andris from killing Saturoz to save his own hide. Though it was more complicated than that.
Preparation for War
Around the table at Kona whilst the allied forces decided on how to proceed. It was concluded from evidence presented by Darius trip to the Northern Reaches that the world stripped of magic was slowly dying and any war to come was irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. The warlord of the south, Nakari made a snide remark about Dalzell's sacrifice and to how again there was yet another "plight of the Snow Elves." After several warnings, Nakari continued to make sneer remarks which wasn't taken well by Galiron who angered losing composure. Drawing his sword, he made an attempt on the life of the ruler of Sovos which was only parried by the Nakari's bodyguard, Angara. Deeming their comments unworthy Galiron stormed off and sought council with Prince Hadrian and explained his lack of trust for Nakari and his southern army in the war to come.
The Battle of the Silent Valley
Several months had passed before The allied forces were ready to march on Athol. As they reached the Silent Valley, it was clear with the enemy ready to meet them and that they had been tipped off to be ready with such a force. Not only were the allies out numbered but Nakari's forces did not show as Galiron expected. They did have the high ground and a cause worth dying for as Tobias put it. Galiron knew Darius and his brothers secret mission was the last hope humanity had and this battle was merely to take attention away from them.
As the fighting began an army appeared from the south and it was confirmed that Nakari had indeed betrayed them as he ordered Angara to ride towards the allied forces. Angara was hesitant as his sister Indra, the Queen of Lionsford was among the allied forces and he faltered. Conflicted, Angara had a change of heart ordered his men to charge the fiends of darkness instead. Nakari could only look on as his men betrayed him before cowardly retreating and riding off towards Athol. Galiron witnessing Angara's resolve ordered his men to charge.
The Dragon and the Twin Star
Finished with the first battle the allied forces moved a step closer to the eastern capital with a lifted morale now and with the men of the south at their side but the mood was dampened as they reached the outskirts of the Athol. the strength of the enemy force that had gathered still outnumbered them 3 times to 1. Flags bearing the star of Aydon, the historic ally of Athol confirmed that they had been persuaded to fight. The fiends of darkness were the first to advance against a tired allied force but out of nowhere Darius atop the last dragon appeared and rained dragonfire down on the fiends cutting through them like butter as it it made many passes. Amadeus was dropped down off the dragon and joined his brother. This was the sign for Galiron to order the Knights of Cilbaen to charge.
The King's Gambit
At a deadlock. Tobias advanced along with Hadrian, Damani, and Galiron to talk to Mateusz with hopes of snaring his counterpart. Knowing his nemesis was easily roused and of his own impending death by means of his illness. The King of Kona purposely left himself open to be struck down by the Atholian Prince which in turn left King Saturoz exposed for attack. Galiron did not hesitate to lunge at his uncle, the man that had killed his father. When Galiron asked the mortally wounded Tobias as to why he, a King sacrificed himself for a pawn. Tobias explained that it broke him all those years ago when he prevented Andris exacting revenge which would have been justified. it was all he could do to repent, citing no King's life is worth any more than his loyal subjects. 
At that moment a blue horse approached and it was Karadin, the King's youngest son who had been travelling with Darius and Amadeus who was thought to have been slain during an ambush at the marshes. Tobias embraced his sons and told them if they too are destined to perish due to the mysterious infliction that he was inflicted with that they should look to Cilbaen for a successor citing the house was always it's oldest and most loyal retainer. He told Hadrian to find someone that was brave, skilled with a blade and has dedicated his life to his Master. These words were a play on the sentence used to describe Galirons father, Andris during his younger days suggesting that Galiron should be made King should the worse happen.
The Siege of Athol
When Maester Damani is injured during the Siege rescuing his father Dalzell, Damani tells Galiron and Amadeus to forget about him and continue to storm the castle towards the throne room. Galiron responds that "Should the will of fire will fail to protect him, then I certainly will ." Another play on the words than Damani once told Galiron as a child when Galirons mother was dying and Damani risked everything to save his her. 
Galiron kills Nakari with permission from Angara who steps aside as Amadeus rushes onwards to the throne room where Matuesz had laid an ambush with 6 of his Kingsguard and Athol's mightiest soldiers lay in wait to strike down the son of "Leuvens greatest warrior." Galiron rushes to his brothers side and finally awakens his control over alchmey which reveals the true power of his Alami blade as runes light up and fire ignites from its edge. It was at moment elsewhere when Darius using dragon fire released the seal on the alchemy stone and magic rushed back into world as the brothers now brimming with power take down the warriors who stand before them showing that they truely where the best warriors in the land. Galiron stands over a defeated Matesuz who sneers at him. In this moment Galiron remembers all all the things that he had been through to get him in his position now. He falters over his obsession about his own legacy and walks away telling Amadeus.. it is time for him to build his own legend... as a Snow Elf. Amadeus finally avenges his father's honour.
The Sharing of the Alchemy Crystals
After alchemy is released back into the world, the illness that plagued the royal family in Kona disappeared. The Knights of Cilbaen were tasked with dispersing the alchemy crystals out to all the kingdoms in Lucere as it is decided that if the power of magic is split across the land then such a sealing of power can never happen again. This was Galirons last contribution as part of the Knights and afterwards Galiron relocated to Kona and served directly under King Hadrian as part of the Kingsguard. He married Darius's sister Talia and had a son who inherited Andris's famous black hair and a daughter that retained his own white hair.
