Warren Corbray

"*When I as born, it had not been my fate to rule. The chances were undeniably slim. All my life I never cared or thought about it. I saw what power did to the ones around me, the ones I loved. Before they submitted to power, perhaps someone should have told them the consequences of power, which leaves me to my point: I will ask nothing of you, only that you will speak to me clear and true. Always. Will you promise me only that?*"
—Warren to his betrothed on the eve of their wedding.

**Warren I Corbray** is the King of Torrance, the Lord of the Korxons, Patriarch of the Pervenians, and the head of House Corbray of Korgard. He ascended the throne after the Liberation of Torrance, twenty-eight years after the demonic invasion and the desolation of the royal family House Dacre. Following the war, Warren and his wife Sunetra Rankine brought upon social and political stability throughout the kingdom.

Raised as a nobleman's son from Alderwood, Warren grew up to become an accomplished diplomat, an anointed knight, and a philosopher. Following the Skycutter Conflict, he became only surviving son of Lord Winston; a conspiracy involving Warren's uncle Hans—Winston's half-brother—resulted in Warren entering into exile after his father's death. Under the tutelage of Lord Ikeda Cao and the inhabitants of Fort Volonte, including Alec Kylar, Warren was groomed, fostered and trained for many years to become a resilient leader and formidable warrior.

## History

### ***The Hidden Prince***

Following the Skycutter Conflict, Warren was banished into exile by his uncle Hans, who had usurped the leadership of House Corbray after the death of Lord Winston. Hans' scheming was aided by Alec Kylar, who sought to use Warren as a potential bargaining chip for political intrigue. Alec feigned allegiance to Hans by swearing to 'get rid of' Winston's last remaining son, which allowed Hans to facilitate his rise to power in Alderwood. Believing Warren to be dead, House Corbray endured under Hans' rule. Joining him in exile was Arnold Vanko, Warren's childhood friend, after the desolation of his house.

By late 1271, Warren had acclimated to Fort Volonte in the Heath as a ward of Lord Ikeda Cao and his wife Katheryne, both whom were close friends to Alec. During his exile, Warren became well reversed in the daily duties of the common folk, such as washing clothes, peeling potatoes, working the fields and cooking and serving food in the kitchen. Under Ikeda's tutelage, the young exile would squire and train in combat. Katheryne provided him an education, and eventually came to treat and refer to Warren as her fostered son. Warren and Arnold maintained a close friendship, and both would often learn and train together in the courtyard and classroom alike.

For the next five years, Warren would participate in multiple events, conflicts and campaigns across the fallen kingdom of Torrance. When the civil war known as the Brennor Crisis broke out, Warren, now 16 years old, accompanied Ikeda and his company in the fighting and bloodshed. Warren, eager to test his valor, proved his combat prowess during several skirmishes, and slayed his first opponent during an ambush at Silver Lake. He also participated in the Navras Event and the execution of Walter Girard and Rangvald. Later, near the closing of the civil war, Warren became instrumental at providing Princess Sunetra Rankine safe transport to Alderwood, his first time returning to his home.
