## History

### Origins & Childhood

He was born in Antos to a blacksmith. He has an older brother and a younger sister.

When he was 3 years old, his parents were killed to a pirate attack in **Antos**. He traveled west to the Island of Merci with his uncle and siblings where he grew up. He was trained in swordsmanship and smithery, and worked in his uncle's smith alongside his brother, while his sister helped their aunt in weaving.

At the age of 14, Boris was inducted in the Mariner's Academy in **Antos** as the Royal Navy of Arden searched for recruits with the rising unrest in the **Southern Sea**. But during his time at the academy, Boris accidentally killed a guard after a feud came of the gambling, and was kicked out of the academy and wanted for trial. Boris befriended a young lad **Isaac** during his time on the streets and the two friends lived together with being chased by guards to being connected with the coastal brothels.

### A Mercenary's Life

Sometime in Early 97 CE, **Boris** was tried and imprisoned after being caught in bed with the Sergeant's Daughter. In prison, Boris befriended a young sailor, Norris Seaborn and a mercenary, **Joe Wilard**. The two lads were trained by the mercenary in swordsmanship and after being let loose on good behavior, the two accompanied the mercenary to Merci where they were recruited as members of a pirate-turned-privateer crew, sailing the **Southeastern Seas**.

After the death of the crew's captain, Joe Wilard became the new captain of the crew, starting a feud with **Olto Blackpatch** that ended with a bloody killing and over fifty sailors dead, with Joe Wilard becoming the **Captain of a 3-Ship Fleet**, and Boris killing Olto Blackpatch in single combat, and leaving the crew to live a mercenary's life.

In the **Summer of 100 CE**, Boris traveled west of the Blue Sea to the Island of Stern where his mercenary group was recruited by Lord Edgar of Bodden to fight off an outlaw attack. After killing the outlaws, the mercenaries came into contract with Lord Edgar as sellswords protecting the Township of Bodden as its Townsguard.

### Knighthood

In 103 CE, a noble hunt took place on the borders of Bodden where the Lord of Graycott attended with his vassals and family. During the hunt, Lord Alvar's younger children, **Roslin** and **Tommen** was ambushed by a group of outlaws as they rode through the forests with his bodyguards after hares. Hearing the news, Lord Alvar and his bannermen send their men to find and protect the children. **Boris** with his kin, Norris and Talbert were also sent after the children. Boris and Talbert arrived on time and saved Lord Alvar's daughter from further harm while Norris only reached when Lord Alvar reached himself with his youngest son corned behind a wooden barricade as Ser **Olton Rivers**, a sworn sword of Lord Alvar died saving the young boy. Lord Alvar named the woods after his sworn sword in defending his youngest son, while **Boris** and **Talbert** were knighted by Lord Alvar for protecting his youngest daughter from an outlaw attack, and Norris was rewarded one hundred coppers for defending his youngest son after the death of Ser **Olton Rivers**, to which **Norris** left the Sternlands for Antos.

Later on, **Ser Boris** and **Ser Talbert** were appointed among the twenty men to defend Oltonwood, and became the **First Townsguard of the Forest Village**.

### Lordship

In 109 CE, at the borders of Bodden, a pirate attack led by a band of exiled knights took place and a battle was led by Lord Edgar, who served as the Townsguard Captain of Oltonwood. At the Battle of Oltonwood, Ser Boris played a strong role in forming a defensive formation against the pirates at St. Joseph's Chapel, protecting Oltonwood by rear and defeating one-third of the pirate attack. After the battle, **Ser Boris** was rewarded the Lordship of Oltonwood and soon after founded a knightly family as vassals to House Graycott.

In the Spring of 110 CE, Ser Boris married Lady Nora, daughter of Lord Edgar, strengthening **House Oltonwood**.
