### Mother

Lady Pettlehen Corbat

Antonmer Corbat was a Fanahrian General and one of the leading member of the Lovewaterian revolution, playing an improtant role in the Pedranier Revolution, otherwise known as the Second Pedranier Independence War.

A first cousin and key supporter of **Ayken Lovewater**, Antonmer Corbat would serve as the commander of the Paragon Guard and as the second in command of the Fanahrian revolutionary forces in the Second Pedranier Independence War.

Called the Tower Knight by his allies, due to his imposing stature, Antonmer Corbat was also one of the finest warriors to have walked the Father Continent. However, to his enemies, he was known as "the pet of Ayken", an insult that infuriated him.

He fought alongside Ayken Lovewater until the very end and was an integral part of Ayken's command structure.

### Appearance and Character

Antonmer Corbat looked larger than the average man even when sitting down. He stood at 6 feet and 7 feet tall and was built of pure muscle mass. Antonmer was able to wield two handed great swords with one hand, and carried a shield that was larger than the average man. He was particularly quick for his size. Even during the Pedranier revolution, when he was 38 years old, he was able to maintain stamina during prolonged battles. He kept short by tidy hair, and grew a goatee. He looked much younger than his age.

Antonmer was the most impulsive of Ayken's generals, and had a belligerent taste for almost everything. He was rash, hot tempered, quick to anger and prone to arrogance. His actions were only ever checked by Ayken Lovewater. He tends to only think and worry about the possible consequences after he commits the act. While this nature is liked by Ayken, due to his aggressive military stratagems, Antonmer is mistrusted and seen as unfit to lead men by other nobles. However, he was popular among the troops and would be the centre of attention when feasts were held. It is said that he could outdrink any man, and would need many barrels of ale to get drunk. Antonmer would speak for hours and men would often come to him for advice on how to please a woman.

Described to have a vulgar streak about him, Antonmer had multiple escorts but never married. He would pay the woman he bedded handsomely, and it is believed he had fathered multiple bastard children. He often feasted with his men and gave them advice on how to please woman. Antonmer used to practice the Lord's right to bed a commoner's wife on their wedding night until it was banned by Ayken Lovewater. By Antonmer's own admission, he felt only alive when there were wars to fight and women to bed.

### Early Life

Antonmer Corbat was born the eldest of Heymer Corbat and Pettlehen Corbat. He had an unnamed twin, as the twin had died during birth. It is said Antonmer had his hands around his twin brother's throat as he was born. Antonmer was born freakishly large, and was an immense pain for his mother to birth. Antonmer as a baby had 12 maidens to breast feed him, as he would suckle for hours at a time. He began to eat solid food at 3 months of age, and developed adult teeth by the age of seven.

As his father was the brother of Lady Eyvahen Corbat, he would be the first cousin of Ayken Lovewater.

Antonmer had been a daring child from a young age. Fond of climbing, sword play, and riding. He had broken his arm after falling from the great Tonston Tree in Tonstondin, where King Tonston's grave lies. He bedded his first woman at the age of thirteen, who was ten years his senior.

When he was seventeen, he was wounded when wrestling with a bear during a hunting session. He was disarmed and taken off guard, suffered a grevious wound to his chest that tore off his right nipple and breast, but in the end he managed to kill the bear. He ordered that the bear be eaten at the feast at Tonstondin for his birthday. Antonmer made a suprisingly speedy recovery while many thought he would die. HIs mother, Lady Pettlehen Corbat had almost died in shock hearing of her son's injury.

When visited by the southern governors of Heatstroke and Brute, Governor Staven Brute had mentioned that he would suggest Antonmer Corbat to the Imperial Guard. However, his father rejected the honour.

### Military Career

#### Pedranier Succession Crisis

While he did not know Ayken as a child, the two grew closer when Ayken returned to Pedranier after he was slighted following the Vidin-Cirokar wars. Antonmer impressed Ayken with his swordsmanship, and so Antonmer was admitted into Ayken's army as a Sergeant of the Field, placing him in charge of training. Antonmer had accepted, realising Ayken was the best way for him to climb the military ladder and gain reputation.

Antonmer was the one who suggested at first to Ayken to attack the forces of Gastken, despite orders by King Aymer to try and bring Gastken to peace. Ayken accepted and in return, Antonmer was given charge of a cavalry division that descended onto the 2nd of Prince Gastken's armies and crushed them. Ayken was impressed by Antonmer's bravery and aggressiveness as a commander, and promoted him again to his high command. Ayken had dimissed several officers who were more cautious.

Antonmer had a part to play in the orchestration of the masscre of Yintra, personally killing Prince Gastken, before turning on his wife and children and slaying them too.

#### Paragon Guard

Antonmer had suggested that a new elite unit of infantry must be formed in order to rival House Elysian's Household Guards. Antonmer had noticed that Elysian's Household Guard had been vastly expanded, but the new recruits had gotten in due to lowered entry requirements and as simple fillers. Antonmer proposed that the Paragon Guard never exceeds 300 men, no matter the situation. This would ensure the Paragon Guard had its ranks filled only by capable men. Antonmer would be the commander of this guard, but in practice, Ayken wielded absoulte control.
