## History

Evan was born as the only son of the high-ranking Sacaron family around 629 BE. He was quickly raised to take over as the family head, as his father's actions had caused them to lose popularity, and he eventually did so in 611 BE.

He spent many years improving trade relations with the nearby Ventus family and other high-ranking families; Though he didn't like their use of slave labor, he needed the money to raise his family's status. This led to him getting to know the young heirs, and forming a bond with them.

In 571 BE, he learned that the Ventus family's slaves had started a revolt, destroyed the manor, and killed almost everyone within. Because of this, he sent out patrol groups to find them, with the hope that the slaves would either be brought back and deservedly punished, or simply killed.

At some point, he learned that one group had located the band of former slaves, and been forced to kill them to protect themselves. When they returned, he rewarded the two knights who had risked their lives to take them out. During this time, he had one of these knights, Gormlaith, stand trial for pretending to be a man in order to become a knight. However, he decided to let her stay, as her fighting ability made her one of the top knights.

Many years later, he learned about rising tensions along the border of Arhen. Intending to help settle the dispute, he sent a legion of soldiers under the command of two senior officers. However, he was devastated to hear that they had been ambushed by bandits and killed.

After this incident, Evan began to doubt his leadership abilities. He then decided to step down, and hand over the title of family head to his son. He then lived out his life quietly, before passing away several months later.
