Douglas McKinley

**Douglas McKinley** was a resident of Papsworth and neighbour of Charles Crawford and Alice Lloyd, as well as her paramour. He fell in love with Alice, but respected her wishes to remain faithful to Charles until it was the right time to leave him. One night while at home, Douglas heard someone hammer on his front door, when he opened it, Charles forced his way into the living room along with Alice. Charles suspected Douglas of sleeping with Alice, but Douglas refused to answer. Some time later, DCI Enfield and DS Gold visited him at home and revealed that Alice has been found dead in her parents house. They suspected he had something to do with the crime, but he confessed his love for Alice and proved he was innocent, before he was dropped from their inquires.
Path Of The Lotless

The Path Of The Lotless is one of three main paths in The Life And Suffering Of Sir Brante. It involves becoming an insurgent, potentially overthrowing the Blessed Arknian Empire, aided in secret by the Secret Chancellery

## Synopsis

The Path Of The Lotless can vary in terms of the stats it requires. While it has the most focus on the **Manipulation, Eloquence, Scheming,** and **Diplomacy** stats, it can vary wildly in the endings you can receive. These are so varied that they have been split into multiple categories, shown below. Most notably, it has very few repercussions on the **Unity** and **Wealth** stat, with it being remarkably easy to keep these stats up.

Sophia is the main romantic interest for the route. Her story is woven into the main plot and there is no variation. Helping her break free from the spymaster Felipe El Ferro will result in a romance route with her, and a Rebel path. The Defender Of The Empire and Spymaster endings generally involve rejecting her or outright betraying her. Be warned that she can potentially betray and/or kill you even if on a romance route.

Charles Crawford

**Charles Crawford** was a resident of Papsworth and the partner of Alice Lloyd. In 2006, he discovered photos of Alice and another man in bed on her laptop, which he hacked. He confronted Douglas McKinley about it and confronted him at his house. He and Alice went to stay with her parents at Glenwood Manor, following a burglary at their house. Charles was convinced Douglas forced entry into their house. He and Alice began arguing in front of her parents whilst having dinner. Sir Arthur tried to bribe Crawford to keep away from his daughter, after revealing that neither he or his wife were ever fond of him and never approved of their relationship. However, Charles stormed out of the dining room and later that night resumed his argument with Alice in bed. She confessed her love for McKinley and her desires to leave him, causing Charles to become violent. He strangled Alice to death, packed a bag and went and killed her parents in the same fashion, before fleeing the area with the bribed money in the passenger seat of a silver BMW. Charles emigrated to Dublin, where he kept his life secret from others. He never had contact with the Lloyd family again. In 2020, he was arrested by Irish guards on suspicion of murder. He was taken back to the UK and charged with Glenwood Manor murders. He was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Witch

## Summary

A Witch is a person with magical abilities. Witches are born with powers, and one cannot learn or train to be a witch if they were not born with these powers. Witches are discriminated against and viewed as heretics by their nature. Arknians, who are above any public perception of magic use by right of birth, are generally allowed to use magic. They are not to be questioned by humans, and so are permitted to do anything taboo such as magic use. Anyone caught using magic is typically captured by the Inquisition and enslaved by them. Members of the Inquisition, hypocritically, are the only humans allowed to use magic.
The Blessed Arknian Empire

#### **What is The Blessed Arknian Empire?**

The Blessed Arknian Empire (shortly The Empire) is the only official state in the world of The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante. It has united all of the known lands under its banner.

**Administrative divisions**

The Blessed Arknian Empire is divided into administrative units - provinces. There are five main provinces in The Empire: Magra, Arknia, Astinia, Eliria, Monia.

Read more about each of the provinces on the "The Blessed Arknian Empire provinces" wiki page.

#### **Capital city**

The capital of the Blessed Arknian Empire is Eterna.

It's an ancient and beautiful city built on the banks of three rivers. By the emperor's decree, the College and the Military Academy were opened here, where lowborns can study and serve to earn the nobility of The Mantle. The Divine Seminary is also located here.

Eterna was always dominated by ancient Arkinian tradition which is reflected in its architecture and fashion. However, the growing influence of new noble families and wealthy merchants is slowly starting to change that.

**Political structure**

The Blessed Arknian Empire is solely ruled by the Emperor who belongs to the ruling Arknian family - the Tempest Dynasty. Only members of this family could become Emperor.

People living in the provinces are governed by Imperial laws. The power in the province is concentrated in the hands of the local Overseer(governor) and Archduke.

Archduke is the supreme and most powerful feudal lord of a particular province. Officially all the other noble landowners in the province are Archduke's vassals. Dukes, like the entire ruling elite of the Empire, are always Arknian by race.
Robert Brante

**Robert Brante** is a nobleman, judge, and the father of Sir Brante.

## Summary

*"A nobleman of the Mantle and a judge at the Anizotte Prefecture...He works tirelessly in his judicial service for the sake of his family."* - In-game description of Robert Brante.

Robert Brante is a strong-willed man who isn't quick to betray his emotion. He is stalwart and confident in himself. He is Sir Brante's father and the second Noble of the Mantle and judge in his family. Robert is constantly under fire for his decision to marry Lydia Brante, but despite this, he stands by his decision and defends his wife from attack, especially from his own father, Gregor Brante, who constantly doubts and demeans his choices.

## Relationships

### The Brante Family

#### Sir Brante

Robert treats Sir Brante kindly but sternly. His shows of affection are limited, and he is very paternal towards his middle child. Robert will become highly disappointed if he fails to become a Judge and a noble of the Mantle, even moreso if he accepts the path of the Lotless. However, this will not ruin the relationship with him forever, and he will recover from his disappoint and honor his son's choices.

Jeanne

Jeanne is a prominent character in the priest route, she is also a potential love interest for Sir Brante.

## Jeanne

### Affiliation

Old Faith (originally), New Faith (player determined)

## Summary.

Jeanne was born in Anizotte as a commoner and lost her parents at a very young age, so young she doesn't remember them.

From a young age, she entered into the service of the church becoming an acolyte, she also becomes a staunch supporter of the Old Faith.

She eventually travels to the capital city Eterna and attends the divine seminary, after becoming a priest she is recruited into the order of the inquisition. She travels back to Anizotte and becomes determined in her goal to root out heresy across the province of Magra.

## Relationships.

Relationships can very depending on which choices the player makes and which route is chosen.

#### **Father Ulrich.**

He is an elder inquisitor and serves as the mentor of Jeanne. They have a sort of friendly relationship, although Jeanne is not very comfortable with the violent ways in which Ulrich extracts confessions from suspected heretics.

If Sir Brante chooses the priest route and doesn't join Ulrich, Jeanne will find evidence that Ulrich is a member of a heretical sect called the Willists, forcing him into hiding.

#### **David Agaronim.**

David is the captain of the Champions of Faith and in this role, he and Jeanne often work together to fight heresy.

Not very much is known about the relationship between the two, though it is likely at least a somewhat friendly one.

#### **Patriarch Cassius.**

The relation between the two is tense and later on even hostile. Cassius is wary of the inquisition seeing that he in secret has renounced his belief in the Twins and seeks to destroy the Faith in its current form.

Depending on the choices made by Sir Brante, she can help in the arrest and trial of Cassius.

#### **Sir Brante.**

The relationship between Sir Brante and Jeanne is heavily influenced by the route and the choices that are made. This can vary from becoming lovers if the Priest route is chosen and subsequent correct choices are made, to a hostile relationship if Sir Brante for example becomes a follower of the New Faith.
Gaius Tempest

Gaius Tempest is the Overseer of Magra, and the brother of Emperor Uther II, and uncle of Prince Jerian. He is a key figure in the Path Of The Nobleman, a benefactor in the Path Of The Priest, and an antagonist in the Path Of The Lotless.

## Story Significance

Gaius represents one of the key factions in Anizotte, alongside Archduke Milanidas, and Felipe El Ferro. He is aided by Remy El Verman, Augustin El Borne, and the Prefecture in maintaining order in Magra. He ususally acts through El Borne, but El Verman does get involved at certain points. In one ending, Sir Brante can prove himself to Gaius, allowing the House Of Brante to become Enovbled by The Sword, and have their name placed in the Blue Book. He is directly opposed by the Archduke, along with Dorius Otton, and can even duel him at one point.

In Priest playthroughs, Sir Brante can recieve his favor in a different fashion, allowing the family to be Enobled, and Brante being placed as Gaius's right hand in spirtual matters.

However, in Lotless playthroughs, it is possible to fight or even outright kill Gaius in Rebel paths.

## Gallery

## Trivia

* Gaius is the only way to become Enobled on a Priest path.
* Strangely, he does not seem to age between the Youth and Peacetime chapters, similarly to Dorius Otton and Octavia Milanidas.
Blue Book

The Blue Book is an important item in The Life And Suffering Of Sir Brante. It contains the names of ever Noble Of The Sword

## Story Relevance

The Blue Book is a hotly coveted item within the family. Gregor Brante, Robert Brante and Stephan Brante are all varying degrees of obsessed with becoming Enobled and having the family name put in it. Mostly they are doomed to failure, with the exception of two endings in the Path Of The Nobleman and one ending in the Path Of The Priest. Sir Brante's uncle, Sir Augustin El Borne is Enobled and has his family name in the Book.

Despite the great power being Enobled offers, its status pales in comparison to that of an Arkinian.

Like all Nobles, families enobled by The Sword are required to enter a Blood Tide
Path Of The Priest

The Path Of The Priest is one of the three main story paths in The Life And Suffering Of Sir Brante. Its counterparts are the Path Of The Nobleman, and the Path Of The Lotless. It consists of Sir Brante becoming a Priest at the Divine Seminary and eventually joining the Inquisition to repel the Blessed Arkinian Empire's spiritual foes.

## Synopsis

This pathway, unlike its Noble or Lotless counterparts, focuses on the **Perception, Spirituality, Theology,** and **Eloquence** stats in Personal Life. It also functions under the exclusive stats of **Church, Tolerance Of Faiths,** and **Inquisition Power**. It is often the pathway with the highest **Unity** scores due to Sir Brante growing up in a very religious household.

The romantic interest in this Path is Jeanne, whom you meet very early on during your first visit to the Silver Tree. Her substory involves a crisis of faith as she battles herself over her placement within the Church. Along the way she has a crisis over her former friend , who is a Witch. Notably, the sex scenes that occur in romance paths are not avoidable here. Brante and Jeanne end up copulating once regardless of choices, creating drama in the fight against the main villain, Cassius.

* This Path is the only one in which Sir Brante uses magic of any kind, specifically holy miracles.
* This is the only Path in which a romance/sex scene is not avoidable.
Arkinian

The Arkinians are a non-human species and the ruling class of the Blessed Arkinian Empire

## Physical Attributes

Arkinians were noted to be much more long lived and stronger than the average human. Arkinians typically had blue skin, pointed ears, andvarying colors of hair. Arkinians shed blue blood when cut, and functioned under the four lives humans did, though with benefits humans did not have. Arkinians were said to be possess great beauty and grace, and that was certainly physically true. Octavia Milianidas in particular was described numerous times to have been "art made flesh" Arkinians seemingly did not age nearly as fast as humans did, allowing them to secure lofty positions in the world order.

## Place In The Empire

The Arkinians were always at the forefront of the Empire's affairs, running the top echelons of politics, military power, and various other important pursuits. They were the top of the ruling class, and were considered Noble from birth, with priveleges surpassing even those special humans who had their names in the Blue Book. Only Arkinians, specifically those of the Tempest Dynasty could become Emperor or Overseer. Other dynasties had various other positions, such as Archduke.

## Trivia

* Arkinians may be likened to Elves from various other fantasy works.
* Arkinians are the only known race to be blessed directly by the Twins
Twins

The Twins are two twin deities, the Elder and the Younger, that govern the world of the Life And Suffering Of Sir Brante. They are also the founders of what would become the The Blessed Arknian Empire

## The Elder

The Elder is the older twin of the pair and represents the concept of Love. He is represented by the lash, similar to the one Commoners are struck with when they receive their Lot. He is generally regarded as the kinder of the Twins, represented in the mortal world by the Church. As a result of this he is looked upon with much less fear than his younger brother. When his power is invoked, his magic is focused around healing wounds, such as stab wounds, or even conditions like drunkenness.

Notably, he is the only one of the Twins to descend to the Empire to settle the question of the Lots enacted by his prophet, Isatius

## The Younger

The Younger is the younger twin and represents the Law. He is represented by the Sword that enobles Noblemen, and represented in the mortal world by the Prefecture, its Gendarmes, and the courts, even allowing them to use his power directly to ensure every execution results in a True Death. He is generally looked upon as the more stern and unforgiving of the Twins and is feared. During a mortal's judgement in the hereafter, it is his job to either accept the soul into the peak of the Pillar, or destroy their soul, sending it to the foot.

## Trivia

* In two 'Willist' endings in the Path Of The Priest, it is posible for Ulrich or even Sir Brante himself to become a deity on par with and existing separate from the Twins, akin to the La Tari
Favored By The Overseer

**Favored by the Overseer** is a potential outcome for the Brante family at the end of the Youth phase. In this ending, the Brante family is ennobled by the sword and gains the ear of Gaius Tempest. Robert El Brante will attempt to use his new influence to improve the lives of the commoner Lot in Anizotte. If the rebellion was suppressed peacefully or sabotaged by Felipe, Gaius Tempest will share El Brante's views and cooperate. However, if the rebellion was suppressed by force, the Overseer changes his stance on commoner rights and El Brante is not able to make much progress.

**Requirements**

1. **Reputation**: >8
2. **Wealth**: >6
3. **Unity**: >3
4. A Family of Means
5. -OR-
6. A Glorious House

**Tips**

The high reputation requirement for ennoblement means one should begin early and boost the house's Reputation as much as possible during the Childhood and Adolescence phases. Good relations with Stephan can help with Reputation; good relations with Lydia and Nathan help with unity. Commoners will have the least difficulty with Wealth, while clerics should be careful due to fewer opportunities for financial gain. Unsurprisingly, it is much easier to meet these requirements when pursuing a pro-imperial path.

Commoners, ironically, have the easiest path to Tempest's favor as long as they minded their family's Reputation during their younger years. The Path of the Lotless offers many opportunities for Wealth and plenty for Reputation and Unity as well. It will be necessary to marry off Gloria, but with sufficient persuasion or a strong friendship with Stephan, one can convince him to maintain ties with Gloria.

It is not possible to Unite the Family and become Favored by the Overseer, as Robert adopting Gloria results in -10 Reputation and thus Brand of Dishonor, erasing any chance of becoming Ennobled by the Sword.
Count El Velasco

## Summary

Count El Velasco is a nobleman of the Sword and the owner of several ore mines in the Province of Magra, which is known for its trade in metals and ore, as the land is largely barren except for such deposits. Not much is known about him and the player never meets him in person, but he is known to have a young daughter, Maria El Velasco, whom Stephan has a dalliance with in his youth. He is fairly well-off, and much more reputable and important than your family, at first.

## Year 1128 Incident and Gunpowder Debacle

He is mostly to blame for an incident that occurs in the year 1128, when an accident involving gunpowder for the use of ore mining in Magra causes an explosion along with the lesser deaths of many workers and the True Deaths of still others-and covers the entire town of Anzinotte in heavy black smoke. He forced the workers to begin demolition before they were truly ready to undertake it. This marks the first time your character learns of a subject which persists throughout the game: the debate and paranoia about gunpowder, and to whom it should belong. Many nobles find it dishonorable at best, and fear that if it gets into the hands of the commoners, they will revolt against their rule. Nobles prefer to resolve every conflict with swords, a weapon that only nobles can wield.
Gloria

Gloria

## Summary

Gloria is a rebellious young woman who refuses to live by her Commoner's Lot. She believes in a new age for the empire; one where no one is subservient any longer. She is inclined to practice poetry and the arts, something that is illegal for a commoner to ever do. She is your half-sister with the same mother as you, but she is a bastard child, never destined for anything but the life of a lowborn. She does not even carry a last name. Her father is unknown and forgotten.

## Summary

The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante is a narrative-driven RPG by 101XP's own words. The choices you make have weight and consequences, characters remember every allegiance and choice you make. They can revere you for your choices, or they can be your downfall.

You are given stats to work with and influence your choices. Willpower and your Deaths remain constant throughout the entire game, but some other stats change. You have four Deaths, your fourth Death being your final and True Death, from which you cannot be reborn. Dying generally serves a purpose in this game. In exchange for a Lesser death, you often get a hearty boon to your stats or other perks such as reputation or events required to fulfill a certain Destiny. You have to be wise about how you spend your deaths if you spend any at all. In addition, the act of dying will sometimes give you narrative options that you may not have had access to before hand, as well as unique dialogue for each death.

The story is diveided into five life stages: Childhood, Adolescence, Youth, Peace Time, and The Revolt.

## Personality

You have access to unique stats at each stage of your life. In the beginning of your life, during Childhood, you are able to gain Determination and Perception only. Moving onto Adolescence, you are able to earn from three stats; Nobility, Ingenuity, and Spirituality.

When you transition to Youth, the stats from Childhood and Adolescence combine to create six new stats that will persist for the rest of your life.

Attribute Combination Guide 2
 **Ingenuity** | Manipulation
 **Spirituality** | Theology

Each of the three paths, or Lots, you can play through in the game favor two specific stats out of these six final stats, but that is not to say that you should neglect others entirely. For all the Lots, every single attribute can be utilized in choices. For example, Theology, while ultimately the most helpful in the Priest's lot, will give you access to choices within both the Lotless and the Noble's lots depending on your skill rank. Perhaps Valor is commonly associated with Nobility, but there are plenty of opportunities to have Sir Brante be valorous within the other two Lots.

Nobility favor Valor and Diplomacy. Priests favor Eloquence and Theology. Finally, Lotless favor Manipulation and Scheming.
Father Ulrich

Father Ulrich is a main character in the Path Of The Priest.

## Summary

Father Ulrich is introduced early on in the Priest route. He shows himself to be a ruthless man who will do anything in the pursuit of heretics. He often uses physical torture or other forms of torture to get confessions from his victims.

If the Path Of The Priest is chosen Ulrich will be the one that appoints Sir Brante as an Inquisitor and sends him back to Magra alongside Jeanne.

The reason why Ulrich sends Sir Brante and Jeanne is for most people a secret, officially they are sent to root out heresy but in reality, they are in Magra to investigate Patriarch Cassius. However later on it is revealed that Ulric has a plan of his own. He secretly became a Willist and now seeks to subjugate the people of Magra and of the entire Empire.

His ultimate fate is decided by the choices of Sir Brante.

## Relationships

#### **Jeanne**

His relationship with Jeanne changes quite a bit during the course of the Peace Time chapter. Their relationship begins somewhat friendly when Ulrich serves as a mentor and superior to both Jeanne and Sir Brante.

However, it soon becomes clear that although Jeanne shares Ulrich's goals to root out heresy she does not fully approve of the violent ways he gets his evidence. She also starts to suspect that he is up to something which is not to the benefit of the Order or the Faith.

Jeanne starts gathering Evidence against Ulrich and depending on the choices of Sir Brante may use this evidence to have Ulrich removed as an inquisitor and forced into hiding.

#### **Sir Brante**

The relationship between Ulrich and Brante is heavily influenced by the choices made by Sir Brante. If the choice is made to become a member of the New Faith relations will be tense to hostile.

If the Old Faith is chosen the relationship will be similair to that of Jeanne and Ulrich, with Ulrich serving as a mentor to Sir Brante.

There is however an important decision which comes later on in the Peace Time chapter which shapes the further relationship between Brante and Ulrich.

After going on a pilgrimage together Ulrich will attempted to convince Brante to become a Willist and serve as his disciple. If this is accepted Ulrich will become the master of Brante and they will together try to subdue the city of Anizotte and the province of Magra.

If his offer is rejected the relationship between Ulrich and Brante mostly stays the same, asides from the fact that Ulrich is upset that Brante didn't join him.

#### **Patriarch Cassius**

Cassius and Ulrich have a tense relationship seeing that the real reason Ulrich is in Magra is to expose the heresy of Cassius. Their relationship can escalate to the point where Cassius is arrested, put on trial and burned at the stake.

#### **David Agaronim**

Very little is know about their relationship. It can be assumed it is somewhat friendly up untill the point he is revealed as a heretic.
Sophia

Sophia is a prominent character in the story and a potential love interest for Sir Brante in the Lotless route.

## Summary

Sophia lived a happy life in Anizotte, until she gained the attention of the Arknian, Dorius Otton. Taken away from her family, she was forced to serve and endure the cruelty of the Arknian. She eventually learned that she was a Witch and used her powers to escape her masters. Her experiences and hardship shaped her into a revolutionary who would stop at nothing to create changes for the common people. Or it is just her excuse to destroy the world for ruining her life.

She encounters Sir Brante several times in her life. Either they become close friends and potentially lovers, or they become fierce enemies, depending on the Path, and its variations.

## Trivia

* Regardless of the romantic route, Sophia may kill Sir Brante if certain scores aren't high enough.
Nathan Brante

**Nathan Brante** is the youngest son of Sir Robert Brante and Lydia Brante.

## Summary

A troubled soul since birth, Nathan was born sickly, and constantly struggled with his health in life. Unlike his brother, Sir Brante, he lacked the drive to change himself for the better and struggled with depression. He questioned whether the Twins put him in life just to suffer.

He is regarded as a disappointment in the family, especially his brother, Stephan, who dislikes him. Despite his gloom, he shares a close relationship with his mother and potentially Sir Brante. Whether Nathan can change for the better and find his purpose in life is decided by Sir Brante.
Solahim

The Solahim are an angelic race native to Highrealm. Not much is known about them, other than they have the ability to travel between Midrealm and Highrealm at a moments notice, and seem to all be male, winged humanoids. In the very rare case that a Tillarian sees a Solahim, they often report of a benevolent nature, but report to a higher power the Solahim call the King, and the Son of the King.

Solahim watch over the Tillarians, and in some legends, state that there is one dedicated for every child, watching over them.

Solahim range in size, from some being 6ft, to others being 60ft tall. The glow a radiant light, and appear to be undefeatable.
Magra

## Summary

Magra is one of five official provinces within the The Blessed Arknian Empire. It is the southernmost province, and the province of Sir Brante's birth. Magra is an arid wasteland, and all crops that are grown there require soil imported from other provinces. Its hills and mountains, however, are still rich with Magra's main exports: Silver, iron, and coal. Anzinotte is the capital of Magra.

## History

Magra was once a fertile, lush land like the rest of the regions were. However, during Char Milanidas' rebellion eons ago, he scorched the land with his magic, and it became a dry, arid wasteland, on which nothing could grow. It devastated the region, and changed it forever. Magra will likely not return to its original state in a long while, if it ever will at all.

This region was the last to officially join the Empire as a whole.

At some point near the beginning of the province when the Twins descended to the mortal realm from the Shining Pillar, the gods blessed Anzinotte with the Silver Tree. The Silver Tree is a massive tree with sleek silver leaves that stands within the center of Anzinotte. It marks a religious hub for not just the province itself, but all of the Empire. Both the New Faith and the Old Faith regard it as a holy site, which causes clashes and arguments between the two opposing groups that preach there.

### Townships

Magra contains seven notable towns that are marked on the map of the Empire.

* Anzinotte
* Valona
* Tuono
* Fabrene
* Sulmina
* Serpenverda
Gregor Brante

Nathan Brante (Grandson)

Sir Brante (Grandson)

Lydia Brante (Daughter-in-law)

The Patriarch of House Brante at the beginning of the story. Father of Robert Brante.

## Summary

A prideful and unpleasant man who is obsessed with enhancing his family's rank and prestige among the other nobility. He greatly desire for his name to be written in the Blue Books so his family will permanently be nobles. In his drive to reach his goal, he clashes constantly with family and vehemently abuse them.

Most of the family's conflict in the story were seeded by him. Gregor influenced Stephan into sharing his goal, and constantly caused tension by verbally opposing Robert and Lydia's marriage. He demeans Gloria and Nathan, the former for her commoner status and the latter for being weak. His relationship with Sir Brante is tense. Gregor can either hate Sir Brante for his commoner status or grudgingly develops respect for his grandson should he prove himself worthy to being a noble.

He suffered an unpreventable Truth Death by either burning himself to death or getting a heart attack when prevented from the act. Yet his death and influence continues to loom over his descendants for the rest of the story.
Octavia Milanidas

## Summary

*"She is a masterpiece given life. She is an Arknian." -First meeting with Octavia*

Octavia Milanidas is one of the most beautiful women in the empire, and one of the most powerful. She is Archduke Milanidas' progeny, and he is the archduke of Magra, your home Province. Octavia is the romantic interest for the Path Of The Nobleman. Her counterparts are Jeanne and Sophia

## Relationships

### Sir Brante

Octavia reacts as you would expect from an Arknian to a human commoner at first. Your first meeting is by a fountain in Anzinotte during your Adolescence, when she drops her handkerchief. The outcome of this can determine whether or not she remembers you, giving you more options with her later on. Her relationship to you is ultimately up to your decisions. It is important to note that Octavia is an Arknian who, like most of her kin, believes humans to be far below her, and believes that everyone should honor the traditions of Old and respect their lots. Choices or playthroughs in which Sir Brante favors these ideals will allow you to get more from your relationship with her. She is passionate, possessive, and utterly, completely Arknian.

### Other Characters

It is unknown exactly what her relationships with other people are. Like an Arknian is wont to do, she is secretive and does not disclose most things to you, so many things are never learned by the player. Her relationship to her father, the Archduke, is tense. He will often use her as a pawn to intimidate people by sending her in his steed, or using her in place of himself at social gatherings and appointments just to make a point about his stance on certain issues. Likewise, she will use his power and influence to get what she wants, sending letters impersonating him or speaking on his behalf without permission. Generally, she views her father as part of the reason she feels so entrapped within her obligations to noble society and the Blood Tide.

She finds solace in her secret society, the Circle Of The La-Tari. The people who attend the rituals may be described as her closest compatriots, though not much is known about them as a point; they pretend to be the ancient, enigmatic race of the La-Tari to shed their mortal bonds, as such no mortal bonds can be formed without disclosing a certain worldly violation of the peace that the ritual brings.
Blood Tide

A Blood Tide is a ritual undertaken by Nobles of all three classes. It is an ancient tradition that unifies the bloodline in both the living world and the hereafter with the Twins. It is usually joined in the Path Of The Nobleman.

## Ritual

Sir Brante encounters the Blood Tide regardless of Path. The participating family gathers in the family crypt and stands in front of where the family's first noble. In Brante's case, it is Gregor Brante. Then, they slice themselves with a dagger(specifically their palms) and add their blood to a small hollow in the ancestor's grave. This directly channels the spirit of the ancestor from the hereafter. The spirit of the ancestor then appears, says a few words, and usually gives his blessing.

## Story Impact

* Channeling Gregor's spirit during the Revolt if you join.
* Can increase family Unity.
* Becoming the sole heir of the Brante family

Ennobled by the Sword

**Ennobled by the Sword** is a potential outcome for the Brante family at the end of the Peacetime phase. If the requirements are met, the Brantes are ennobled by the Overseer and the house's name is inscribed in the Blue Book.

**Requirements**

1. **Reputation**: >8
2. **Wealth**: >5
3. **Unity**: >3
4. ~~Branded by Dishonor~~
5. ~~The Family in Ruin~~

**Tips**

Choose Reputation-boosting options as a child, generally ones that favor obedience to Robert or even Gregor. If a noble, practice fencing with Robert as a child and win the tournament. Commoners can leverage Wealth with options to spend money for Reputation (such as buying a family portrait). In general, imperial loyalists have an easier time of Ennobling the Brante family because options that favor the lower classes usually cost Reputation. Most importantly, convince Gloria to accept her betrothal without issue.

If Stephan is at home, he will become heir; if slain in a duel, the player's Brante becomes Robert El Brante's successor.

Note: It is not possible to Unite the Family and become Ennobled by the Sword, as adopting Gloria into the Brante family results in -10 Reputation, automatically triggering the Branded by Dishonor event.

She is praised for seductiveness and her body figure, with decent wrestling skill.

## Matches

### Against Brie Bella

Brie challenged her to a match on her return in 2017. Brie briefly dominated the fight by kicking her in the stomach and using a Kendo stick, but Maryse' voluptuous body endures her strikes and made quick work of Brie by slapping her in the face and punching her stomach twenty times that made Brie vomit so badly, and ends in a victory with a french kiss.

### Sonya Deville

In an unexpected callout from Sonya Deville, she was forced to go one on one against her in a Raw PPV. With her hand-to-hand combat training, she managed to gain the upper hand despite being winded after Deville locked her into a submission, kneeing and punching her stomach ten times, which her abdominal muscles can barely handle, unlike Lacey Evans' muscular body. She managed to do the same against her and pulverized her with a French kiss.

## Characteristics

### Body

Maryse's exceptionally voluptuous body was due to her hard work, and her completely vegan diet, only eating a tiny piece of meat in 2019. Her fit body made her won Miss Hawaiian Tropic in 2003; Though she was fairly slim at that time, but nowadays she managed to put moderate amount of muscle, making her look thicker and increases her durability to physical harm.

### Durability

Maryse' muscle toned voluptuous body allows her to take intense physical punishment, then recover quickly afterwards. Her resistance against physical harm is much higher in 2017 due to her intense training, that gained her a handful amount of muscles to reinforce her voluptuous body from physical damage.

### Weaknesses

Like most women, neither muscular, voluptuous, slim or skinny, Maryse's main weakness is her stomach. Brie managed to subdue her momentarily by kicking her in the stomach five times.

Before 2017, she was more slender. Her body was extremely sensitive to stomach blows, but not like Sasha Banks or AJ Lee. A weak boot to her lower abdomen immediately stunned her.

## Trivia

### General

* Maryse has a lethal slap and notably deadly kick.
* She admits that the additional lean muscle she gained was a great factor to contributing to her toughness. Maryse even proved it by daring others to hit her in the stomach, which she lasted long until stronger women opted to hit her.
* Ironically, she is more fit than her husband. This is proven true when they were challenged for a body shot challenge, where Maryse's sexy body was able to handle the blows better than the Miz' inconsistently shaped body.

Don Alexander de la Salvación

Alexander Smith, también llamado **Don Alexander de la Salvación** (ca. 1954–2000), destacado miembro de la Casa Smith (hijo de Samuel Smith y Alba Rodríguez García), fue el primer maestre de la Orden de la Salvación y fundador del Monasterio de Paleto Bay.

## Biografía

Combatió en el ejército español en la conquista de la isla de Los Santos. Más tarde, en 1975, asistió a la ocupación de Sandy Shores y al desembarco de Los Santos, que hizo caer esta importante plaza, puerto principal de la marina musulmana e importante astillero de su flota de guerra. Después de peregrinar a Tierra Santa, donde conoció de cerca la existencia de los Caballeros Cruzados, concibió la idea de crear una nueva orden militar dedicada a proteger la recientemente conquistada isla y a los habitantes que la habitan.

El 4 de agosto de 1981, junto con su mujer, Rebecca Walker y su hermano Zack, viajó a Los Santos donde ofrecería a la familia real española crear esa orden militar que tenía en mente. Dada la situación política en el país, se envió el permiso a Alexander para su establecimiento, naciendo así La Orden de la Salvación.

A los treinta y pocos años de edad, Alexander consiguió terminar su proyecto en el pueblo de Paleto Bay, la creación de un nuevo monasterio en el centro del asentamiento. Mientras impulsaba la Orden de la Salvación, su mujer Rebecca ingresó también como monja en el Monasterio tras las reformas del código que permitieron el ingreso de las mujeres a la Orden y el matrimonio a sus miembros.

La fecha exacta de su muerte no está muy clara, pero trajo consigo una desestabilización interna que derivó en la disolución del organismo y el derribo del monasterio en el que este se alojaba.

## Diario de Don Alexander

Tras su muerte, en sus aposentos se encontraron una serie de textos y documentos que pasarían a ser ordenados y clasificados como su diario. Un escrito con índole didáctico cuya escritura nunca llegó a finalizar.
Orckrat

Orckrats are deformed Orckra. They have pale skin, and rely on their acute sense of smell. They have more in common with rodents, than people. They dwell in sewers and dark places, often being compared to bats, staying away from sunlight and operating within the confines of darkness.

Orckrats are cannibal, can 'see' in the dark and hunt in packs. There is currently a "Kings Decree" which states that anyone who discovers an Orckrat den should report it immediately, and a specialised crown unit shall dispose of it effectively.
Dragons

Dragons are considered folklore, myths, forgotten tales. Tales often tell of them being contenders with Titans. Dragons are described as giant, winged serpents. They shine like gold, with a hide like pure metal and eyes like lightning. No manner of living creature can out run it, no weapon can pierce its hide. Bigger than a castle, it turns day into night. None survive the fiery wake it leaves in it's trail.

A common misconception with dragons, is that they are confused with wyrms. Wyrms are the usual scaled, fire-breathing lizard with wings. Dragons do share many visual elements with wyrms, however are much more humanoid in view. Often a dragon will vastly overshadow even the tallest of buildings, having immense power and destructive capabilities at it's talon-tips.

Dragons have a pure hide of metal, making them almost invulnerable to any attacks. Because of the chaos they brought, Aleph stripped many of them of their metallic hides. It is now rumoured they are hiding, plotting their revenge.

The dragons are led by the “Alpha Dragon”. His whereabouts are unknown.
