Aegis Mabusa

By 1015, Aegis Mabusa was well-versed in swordfighting and a student of the martial art form of Broken Wing, following in the steps of his father Barakul Mabusa. This made him a very acrobatic combatant despite his great height. 
Like his mother Vinxelle, he enjoys music and has a lovely singing voice to accompany his lute playing. Also from his mother he learned to love and care for plantlife, using magic to do so. 
But his greatest passion is his painting, poetry and writing. He has an intense romantic streak. 
==Biography==
=== Early Years (992-1014)===
Growing up in Vinxelle's nursery with his older sister Amaranth or father Barakul stopping in every now and again.
===Travelling to the Mainland (1015-1016) ===
In 1015, Aegis made the journey from Veroma to the (then) small town of Homefast to deliver several rare seeds of Fluxhart to Lord Richard Holdenhome. This was a reward negotiated by his mother Vinxelle after Richard saved Aegis' half-sister, Amaranth. Upon meeting him, Aegis originally mistook Lord Holdenhome for a bandit, and his opinion of the man remained inimical.
He was still at Homefast when Garin Dul-Sansiska, Arianne West, Darius Black, and Serenity Piers visited Lord Holdenhome. He and Garin (his half-sister Maria's other half-brother) met for the first time and Aegis healed his grievous wounds suffered at the hands of Drake. 
For a time, Aegis returned to his duties in Veroma. However, in 1016 he would be called to arms by ____ and return to wage war in The Final Battle.

===A Brief Repose (1074)===
Lyron and Aegis begin determining whether they want to raise another child, this time as their own. Towards the end of the year it is revealed Talisa (now 17) is pregnant by Avernius Lotus, and they put off the decision.
===The Year of Scarlet (1075)===
Metheryl Arcaena resigned her role as Court Sorcerer when the Monarch died and Gordon Blackthorne was crowned - she moved to Caybourne to be with Nimbe. Darcy Piers, the uncle of Lyron, replaced her. Lyron dies to the Necromantic Assault on Caybourne. In the months following, Metheryl was paramount to helping her family (which she unexpectedly absorbed Aegis into almost immediately) get through this difficult time. Talisa Webb dies to the Red Death as she gives birth to Talith Webb - this breaks Nimbe and she disappears soon after. Metheryl, Iliad, and Aegis join forces to raise baby Talith.
===Mending a Broken Heart (1076-1086)===
Over the decade following such horrific events, Aegis slowly finds a new normal. He falls in love with being Talith's guardian, and he and Metheryl become good friends. 
===Current===
In 1086, Aegis lives in Maria Vale, Caybourne, with Metheryl Arcaena, Iliad Webb, and Talith Webb.
==Personality and Traits==
== Relationships==
===Romantic===
Lyron Piers (spouse) - Aegis only had one love in his life. After meeting Lyron Piers at the Final Battle in 1016, they began a turbulent love affair. 
Finally in 1035, on the 19th of Lady's Moon, they would be wed after 19 years of courtship. They combined their names to form their own House, although they took nor shared any lands or titles.
Lyron was taken from Aegis by The Necromantic Assault on Caybourne in 1075 on the 8th of Fool's Moon. 
===Familial===
====Parents and Guardians====
Barakul Mabusa (father) - Although in-and-out through most of his life, Barakul was respected by Aegis. His father was the one to show him the art of the Broken Wing, and to gift him the beautiful flowered blade he has wielded throughout his life. 
Vinxella Kaloblanca (mother) - More of a constant, his mother Vinxelle taught him many more 'domestic' things. They have a good relationship, but Vinxelle never visited him on the mainland after he moved there permanently in 1035. This saddens him as she doesn't truly show an interest in his life anymore despite his recent tragedies and achievements. 
==== Children ====
There is rumor that he or his husband Lyron fathered Nimbe's twins Iliad and Talisa. Neither he or Lyron have done anything to dispel this. 
Iliad Webb (ward) - 
Talisa Webb (ward) - 
====Grandchildren and Other Descendants====
If Aegis or his husband Lyron were indeed the father of Iliad and Talisa, then little Talith Webb would be their granddaughter. Whether this rumor is true or not, Aegis full-hardheartedly has settled into the role as one of Talith's guardians by 1086.
He has no heir to the name Mabusa-Piers.
Talith Webb (ward) - 
==== Siblings, Friends, and Other====
Maria Mabusa Dul-Sansiska (half-sister via father) - 
Garin Dul-Sansiska (half-sister's other half-brother) - Although not related by blood, Aegis and Garin crossed paths often enough through family. 
Amaranth Kaloblanca (half-sister via mother) - He considers his older sister to be a bit of a floozy, but treats her with respect if they encounter one another. 
Permilla-Darvamiel Kaloblanca (Niece) - Amaranth's daughter with Richard Holdenhome, also known as Fluxhart. Aegis considers her an unfortunate creature and suggested to Amaranth several times that she needed to be with her other kind, her human family, as she clearly wasn't fitting in with the drow. 
Zahir Kaloblanca (Nephew) - Amaranth's son with Divankul Dul-Sansiska. 
== Skills and Abilities==
By 1015, Aegis Mabusa was well-versed in swordfighting and a student of the martial art form of Broken Wing, following in the steps of his father Barakul Mabusa. This made him a very acrobatic combatant despite his great height.
Like his mother Vinxelle, he enjoys music and has a lovely singing voice to accompany his lute playing. Also from his mother he learned to love and care for plantlife, using magic to do so. Due to his interest in plantlife and biology, he learned how to bend healing magic to his will - however, it is an unpleasant experience to be healed by a man whose patients are usually plants. 
But his greatest passion is his painting, poetry and writing. He has an intense romantic streak.
