**Unclassified Biography**

Born in the secretive and reclusive militarized holy order of the Numrenic Order, Isidore grew up in derelict castles of a bygone era. He was trained as a warrior and commander from the age he could walk and fought in countless conflicts and battles during his time with the Order. Isidore however, was never a firm believer of the faith his order followed and viewed it (and later the Order itself) as a relic of the past. He rose to the rank of Chapter Master and even had his own castle deep within Armin-Law.

The Great War never really came to Arrmin-Law, though news of the conflict spread across the region as fast as telegraphs and horsemen could carry it. Makarov eventually chose to leave Arrmin-Law and the Numrenic Order to find this Great War and participate in it; only to find the war was nearly over. He offered his services as a Numrenic Knight and Chapter Master to the Antetandi Army and was eagerly welcomed.

The last twenty years have seen Makarov secure his rank as a Major General and be put in command of the Ethon Home Army a highly prestigious if not boring position. His knowledge of Armin-Law and the slowly dying Numrenic Order is second to none and he is widely respected within Antetandi society and government in spite of his ethnicity and origins.
