## Biography

#### Early Life

Edvard Fairfax was born on June 23rd in the year 174 to an up and coming family recently established in the Periford Downs district of The Capital. His father, Nicholas Fairfax, was a skilled craftsman of humble orgin who made wooden furniture for the aristocrats of The Capital while his mother served Lord Khilkov, an esteemed military commander, as his wife's personal maid. Named for King Edvard III, the young Edvard Fairfax was schooled in the ways of the aristocracy by his mother, with hopes that one day he could elevate his family even further than his father. He learned to read, write and do arithmetic which he had quite a talent for. His father even maanged to save enough money for an instructor to teach Edvard the way of oration and public speaking.

After war was declared against the Astarian aggression, his father Nicholas was called up for the draft and left his family, hoping that Edvard would support his mother, grow up and bring honour to the Fairfax name. Nicholas would be killed in the catastrophic Battle of Ruhr in 190 and both Edvard and his mother were left desolate without his military supplement. Without any form of monetary income, Edvard lied about his age and volunteered the army.

#### Astarian War of Aggression

Edvard had only two weeks training where he shared a tent with Alexander King, Viktor Verräter, and Leonidas Mastiff, the latter of whom he formed a close friendship with. At the encampment, he was taught by Sir Adolf von Rosengart and, after two weeks, was given a recommendation to become sergeant. Himself and Leonidas were drafted into the 51st Infantry also known as the "King's Finest."

### Campaign

Edvard attended the 210 Royal Derby as the plus-one of Sir Adolf von Rosengart as a gift for Edvard's 36th birthday. During the train trip, Edvard was attacked by the Happy Birthday Singer after congratulating him. Edvard survived with minimal wounds and continued to the Derby. It was during this time he met Atticus Dashingham where the two bonded over the memory of Edvard's maternal side, Yusupova, and the parties at their estate, Caprice Hall. Edvard was given charge to look after Atticus' granddaughter, Eugenia Dashingham, who wished to try whiskey and drugs in an effort to break from the conformities of female society. Later that day, Edvard stole a kiss from her after witnessing the horse race.

On the next day, Edvard would visit one of Robert Darlington's parties and pursue Hestia Darlington against the watchful eyes of DeHugh, the butler. The two would engage in sexual relationship before Edvard returned home to leave for the Aurora the next day.
