Agravain Blackthorne

Agravain Blackthorne was the son of Gawain Blackthorne and his wife, Yelena. His father died before he was born, making him first-in-line to inherent House Blackthorne from his grandfather, the celebrated hero Jason Blackthorne. Agravain had a great deal of Wood Elf heritage on his mother's side which subjected him to some prejudice within High Elf aristocracy; but as he grew, Agravain became a charming and affable man who found it easy to win friends to his side, and this soon quelled much adversity he faced.
He was also an extremely powerful terramancer, capable of manipulating storms and the elements with ease. As he was bonded to his father's griffin, Tempest, he seemed a natural heir to the Stormlord dynasty. However, sadly, this was not to be.
When Jason died in 341AE, Agravain's heirdom was disputed by his uncle Jarvis, and this dispute sparked the First Blackthorne Civil War. The "Royalist" supporters of Agravain's claim included House Karhall and King Argiliac I of Brecilidia; they marched under the traditional "blue" banner of Jason and were thusly known as "Blue Griffins."
Agravain was happily married to Argiliac's youngest daughter Ffion and during the war she gave him twin daughters.
The civil war dragged on for the better part of a decade, with no clear victor on either side. The tide only turned when Jarvis' rebel spies managed to steal the blade Redwing. No longer deterred by the threat of magical reprisal, the Black Griffins stormed Blackthorne Manor. Jarvis personally killed and defiled Agravain, his wife, his children and their hatchling Griffins. With them ended the legacy of the Storm Kings.
