== Biography ==
=== Early Life ===
Ainsley was born and raised in Hallengard, living in a wealthy household with his three older brothers. His father, William Payne, was a Marshal of the Guard, who later retired due to a worsening injury he sustained while fighting - and his Mother, Catelyn Payne, went missing after a devastating avalanche that took the lives of many.
Ainsley at the age of 10, along with his three Brothers, were trained in combat by their Father who was deemed one of the best swordsmen in the Region. These skills would prove useful for Ainsley when he killed his first man at the age of 12, when a drunkard broke into his house while Ainsley was home alone. 
=== A New Man ===
Ainsley left home at the age of 17 as did his older brothers except Gregor, who took the House and Titles after William died. By this point, The Paynes were regarded as an "Uncommonly large family" for they all stood above most men and were freakishly strong too.
The Brothers decided to go their separate ways and so Ainsley ventured out looking for work. He was denied by most due to a lack of knowledge in most professions and so he had a thought - Fighting was the one thing Payne's were recognized for, and from there he travelled back to Hallengard for a position as a Vigilant which was kindly offered by Cateline Alarie.
