Curstagis Harekenraig

Curstagis HarekenraigCogent Sheet
Known across the New Adresaas Dominion as the ***Reaper of Vallbrok*** in respects and fear to the horrific battles which brought him to his current title, **Curstagis Harekenraig** is a Marquess ruling over the planet of Vallbrok and the eponymous station-state.

A powerful regional warlord, Curstagis has made a name of his clan since his claims over what were originally the territories of the Meyigachi clan, with Harekenraig mercenaries and auxiliaries a commonplace sight among the armies of the nobility of the Dominion, and are known to be among the most savage warriors and shipwrights there are to buy- all of which emulating the vigor and power of their clan patriarch and Marquess.

Curstagis's realm is a violent and difficult place to live, where might makes right and the laws by which slavery and trafficking are oversaw are often either straddled or ignored for the betterment of the clan. Yet these are often kept within the certain extents of the law, and the usually-predatory warlord is seemingly unwilling to project his power where it would conflict with the perceived interests of Emperor Thalganna II, understanding of where he stands in the grand scheme to some extent or another.

## History

### Early Life

Curstagis Harekenraig was born on a small sparsely populated station to a depressing family of impoverish living situated in a back-alley system of the Horket Province. His exact birthdate is unknown, although many suspect he has lied about his age and upbringing to keep to himself every step of his life. As a hatchling he spent most of his days getting a piss poor education at whatever classes his parents could afford for him at the time, and during curfew he would usually sneak out to go watch street fights or illegal boxing rings. Despite his poor upbringing, he had a keen sense of strategy, and due to him constantly hanging around pirates and other organized crime families, who treated him much more like family than his own would, he grew to understand the logic behind that type of life.

By the time he was old enough to drive one of the shit boxes you would find around the station, he had mostly skipped out on getting a valid education, instead he was basically left to his own devices enough to be chosen for one of the pirate gangs members. It was his tactical mindset and ability to adapt that made him finally find some type of family, toxic or not with his pirate gang.

### Life in the gang

Curstagis' time in his gang was considerably one of the best times of his early life, he had a feeling of belonging and he was good enough at it to slowly climb the ranks and start making money he never thought possible. He had a knack for extortion, a skill he used confidently and commonly against various people, nobles, politicians, and even sometimes what little there was of the Horket military under the thumb of the local nobility.

However, as he aged, and his rampant brutality against other innocent people started to bore him, each rank he rose into became less fullfilling, he found himself constantly needing more to satiate his hunger for more power, it was never enough for him. One thing constantly kept dragging him back down to that low point in his life, when he was half the time digging for scraps of food, and other times where he made things into food. His life, the stations of horket were all kept down and impoverished by the nobility of Vallbrok and Horket; the Meyigachi Clan. He would constantly find himself wishing to pull off assassinations against members of the clan, and every time he was stopped by another deal struck between his gang and one of the illustrious patriarchs.

He was never able to dull his growing hatred for the Meyigachis, he saw them as weak leaders that had let his home system fall into ruin, and the many times he visited Vallbrok for jobs and contracts he saw how miserable the people there were. In many cases he saw it all as a symptom of the current nobility, but also the Kingdom of Adrealis' inability to show its own strength, a decadent monarch and economic downturn constantly plagued all provinces under the throne.
