== Background ==
=== Origins & Childhood ===
Born Leon after his great-grandfather, Lord Leonard Ivanstar, popularly known as "Captain Leonard Strongarm" in the Fall of 485 CE in Ivan's Keep. He is the son of Lord Patrick Ivanstar, then a young knight and then a young maiden, his mother. His mother was a commoner maiden, who fell in love with his father, a noble knight of House Ivanstar. Born out of wedlock, thus standing out from the noble family, he was banished along with his mother from the lands of East Hills and Eastshire, then ruled under the Noble House of Ivanstar.
His mother died when he was only five years old, and subsequently came into the guardianship of his uncle, Lord Jared Ivanstar, then going by the alias of Master Kevan Slate, a sellsword from Gerome. Renamed Irwin Ivanstar from Leon Patrickson, he was trained up into sword fighting and horse riding by the young age of seven till when he was fourteen by Master Walter and learning in the arts of literature, astronomy, and portrait art by Lord Jared himself at Lord Jared's stead in the City of Gerome, one of the noble cities of the Kingdom of Tyrinia, and a market of wood, cloth, and steel. He grew up alongside his three cousins, Pete and Osney, sons of his uncle Jared; and Fredd, Morris, and Ridley, his aunt's children.
=== Young Adulthood ===
At the young age of thirteen, Irwin sailed with his Uncle Jared, Master Walter, and Cousin Osney to the City of Seville, where he soon developed a taste for women's pleasure, spending most of his time in pleasure houses near ports, where he befriended a young girl, Clara, beginning the acquaintanceship of his long lasting friendships.
At the age of fifteen, Irwin was inducted into the the Vothemir Military Academy, alongside his first cousins Fredd and Osney, and his distant cousin Tyler Buckwell. During a festival in the City of Kayce, Irwin along with Tyler, Fredd, and two other cadets jumped across the academy walls to the city for the festival. During the festival, the younglings were laid except for Fredd and Irwin who managed to bed down two noblewomen, Irwin with the Sheriff's Daughter while Fredd with the Sheriff's Wife. After numerous encounters, the two were caught by the sheriff, who declared an arrest for the lads, who remained in open eyes in the academy.
When Cadets of the Academy were eighteen years of age, trained in the Arts of the Antlers, the Riders of the Fist, and the Unsullied, all were given choices to join the following companies of men, and train in the art more extensively. Irwin along with his cousin Osney and befriended fighters Clint of Seville and Brian Peters joined the Riders of the Fist, serving as Rangers of the North Cap and the Protectors of the First Capital. During his ranging to Arkwood, Irwin adopted the name Elliot and went on to defend the territory. Sometime in 229 CE, Irwin alongside Clint of Seville, Brian Peters, and Jake Fairhair got captured by mercenaries and sold into slavery at the Isle of Glee, where Brian Peters died resisting. After capture, the trio of rangers served as the laborers to Colonial Officer, Captain Thomas, where Jake Fairhair was sold to the Southern Pirates, while Clint and Irwin under the new alias Rogers served as carpenters to the captain's ship. Clint and Rogers served as sailors to the White Deckard, the Captain Ship of the King's Fleet under Captain Thomas. Serving the King's Fleet loyally for nearly three years and saving the life of Captain Thomas in a previous battle, Rogers and Clint were removed from slavery and given knighthood. Clint became known as Ser Clint of Glee, who went on to marry the Captain's Daughter and settled in Glee, while Irwin going on by the name of Ser Rogers of Glee joined the Company of King's Sellswords, the "Glee Knights". During these encounters, Irwin befriended two sellsword knights, Ser Jack Timberwell and Ser Kieran Kettle (younger brother of Ser Oswald Kettle).
During one of his voyages, Irwin befriended a young sailor girl in his few of many trips, Ruby, and shared the intimate bond once more. Their journey of intimacy continued till the age of 20 when she was recruited by Sea Captain Johar. Irwin returned to the Life of Sellswords in the Free Cities, and a notable sellsword as "Ser Rogers of Glee", and shared his company with allies like Captain Noris Clyde, Madam Curie, and Ser Jack Timberwell.
