## History

### Early Years

High Lord Fermuty Voss was the son of Ruthord Voss and Abagail Voss. He was born into a high standing in the house as his father was one of the Monarch's Ward of the House hold defending their High King in combat. From an early age nearly as soon as he could walk he was being trained in the way of the sword and the abilities of a guardian. Learning how to fight an enemy without leaving yourself open to being hit then when they make a mistake doing a single killing blow. Being taught how to plan around the enemy's attack and to predict what they might do, and many other arts of war that were taught to him by many different people across the clans of House Brigador. As he grew up he was well known as someone not to talk a large amount mainly watching and listing learning what he could for his future.

Sadly on the eve of his Ritual of Becoming one of his uncles the one who had taught him most of his knowledge of the sword was laid low by enemy Chaos knight during a mission to stop a lance of them that were terrorizing a planet being killed by a shot by a volcano lance he swore as he was slowly lowered into his knight for the first time to hunt down that Chaos Knight and kill it even though he did not even know its name (Unbeknownst to him that Chaos Knight had recently begun is fall to full chaos and would one day be known as the chaos knight The Plague Warden and that knight would go on to terrorize House Brigador for many years to come). Passing through his Rite of Becoming more powerful then ever and a full noble of the house hold he started his rise to power quickly proving himself as a force to be recconded with.

### His rise to High Baron

High Lord Baron Fermuty Voss quickly proved himself a capable leader and warrior of the Household having been assigned to Lance Dragon's Fall after his ritual of becoming. In his first battle at the time in the Gallant known as the Adamatine Colossus smashing through the wall of a enemy fortress and quickly forcing open their gates form the inside allowing allied forces to storm the fortress and take it from enemy hands. This was but the first of his many achievements of his lifetime. He earned honor after honor kill after kill rising from rank of
Scion Asparaint to Scion Martial and then to the a Scion Uhlan as House Brigador had never really departed form those ranks from the time of the great crusade. Before long the Baron of Lance Dragon's Fall fell in combat but his knight remained in good repair being a Cerastus Knight Lancer known as the The Death Warrior. Known at the time as Lord Fermuty Voss he was asked to step up into the position and if he so choose take The Death Warrior as his own. He accepted becoming the Baron of Dragon's Fall. For 20 years he served as their Baron and on his 80th birthday the High Baron of his strike force was promoted to the lead of Strike Force one leaving the position open. Him and the Baron of Lance Death watch as the time were then up to become the next High Baron but before the decision was made something happened that would give Lord Baron Fermuty Voss one of the most important but grime honors he would ever earn.

### The Shrouded Urn

The Shrouded Urn one of the most grim honours ever to be given to a Knight Pilot only given to those who have killed a fellow noble of their house in sanctioned and ritual trial by combat. A honor that would forever mark them as a kin-slayer. When the decision was about to be made the Leader of Lance Death Watch Lord Baron Barthomul Brigador made asked to make a announcement before the decision was passed which was accepted. He took to the stand berating Lord Baron Fermuty Voss for being a imbecilic, not worthy of his awards and medals, having murder a fell noble in secrete, and was to be shamed. For a long minute the room went silent before the High King asked Lord Baron Fermuty Voss what he had to say to which his response was to pull out his sword and stab it into the ground as Barthomul's feet being the sign of challenge to them trial by combat.

They were brought to the trial arena in the center of the fortress a room that was in the style of combat arenas a large pit of sand with stands to watch being raised on all sides to allow all viewers to have a nice view and each given a sword and shield to begin the fight. Slowly the two circled each other in the room watching each other to make the first mistake. Fermuty made the first over stepping one time making him off balance allowing Barthomul to come in for a swing cutting into his right leg but not enough to cause serious injury. Fermuty cursing at his mistake quickly struck before Barthomul could defend himself again cutting deep into his left arm forcing him to drop his shield as his arm went limp. Barthomul stepped back bringing his sword into more of a guard postion able to fall back faster as Fermuty was slowed by the cut to his leg. They continued to circle each other as the ground started to turn red from both of their blood when Fermuty fainted to the left which Barthomul moved to block not realizing it was a fait allowing Fermuty to bring his sword up and down cutting deep into his shoulder before pulling the sword out and cutting the side of his neck causing Barthomul to bleed out on the ground before him. Staring at his dead comrade, someone who he had fought side by side, someone who he had trusted and now killed by his own hand. He fell to the ground; wondering what he had just done as he lost consciousness due to the loss of blood but awaking again in the infirmary alive and well with Barthomul being prepared to be laid to rest. With his victory he was announced as the new High Baron of Strike Force 3 and stood as its leader until the near total destruction of the Strike group during the War of Morswald at the start of the 13th Black Crusade.

## Abilities and Traits

### His martial power

High Lord Fermuty Voss grew up in House Brigador constantly wishing to better understand martial combat to the point where he was one of the best swordsmen of the household only being beaten but the likes of the High King and others of the High Barons but even then it was a close fight. His temperament and ability to strike hard and fast led to him while starting in a Questoris Knight Gallant led in time as he rose through the ranks to become a pilot of one of the Houses Cerastus Knight Lancers mastering it to such a degree that he could fell knights with a single strike and rarely came out of a fight with a damage to his own knight.
