Sebastian Wolfgang

## Early Life

Sebastianus "Wolfgang" Divinci was born on April 15th 1731 A.T.F. Continuing on with an "unofficial" family tradition, Sebastian Wolfgang was born to an aging father who was now in his early 70s and a low born mother. Sebastian's had died very early on in Sebastian's childhood, and as such Sebastian was primarily raised by both his mother and various handmaidens. Sebastian's upbringing was a quiet and peaceful one, while the War For Orbis raged on Sebastian enjoyed a comfortable and pleasant lifestyle in an Estate outside of Gallius City. While Gallius City and the surrounding province was under the control of The Warlord State of Titus, Gallius City was far enough South to avoid most of the continent spanning War For Orbis. Thanks to both his father's successful management of his inherited Mercenary Company, Sebastian and his mother were left with an exuberant amount of wealth to live off of.

As Sebastian grew older, he was enrolled in a military school located in Gallius City, his mother enrolled him for his eventual takeover of his fathers Mercenary Company. For most of his childhood his father's Mercenary Company had been managed by many of the Companies Officers, who were deeply loyal to his Father, and as such remained loyal to the family as a whole. While the Officers of the Mercenary Company continued to serve out and take on new contracts, the finances of the Mercenary Company were handled by Sebastian's mother. Sebastian's mother was loving towards him, but was adamant about ensuring Sebastian's complete takeover of the Mercenary Company. Sebastian on the other and showed little interest in mercenary work, while he excelled in the military school, showing great competence in leadership and fighting, he found little care in life of mercenary work. In his free time Sebastian was enamoured by painting, oftentimes being found attending art exhibits, art museums, and auctions for famous paintings. Sebastian continued to pursue this interest in painting, eventually enrolling in private painting classes. Surprisingly Sebastian's part time hobby had garnered him local fame, as his art pieces managed to be featured at several art shows, resulting in a select few pieces of his work being sold at various painting auctions throughout Gallius City.

## The "Inheritor"

Sebastian had graduated from his military studies on May 16th 1749 A.T.F, and returned home to the family Estate outside of Gallius City. Sebastian had planned to inform his mother that he did not wish to inherit control over his father's mercenary company, and instead intended to pursue his dreams of becoming an Artist. Arriving home on May the 23rd 1749 A.T.F, Sebastian was greeted with grave news. His mother had contracted an illness that would eventually consume her. On her deathbed Sebastian's Mother had asked that her final wish be honored, that Sebastian inherit his Father's company and restore the glory and fame that he fought so hard for years ago. Feeling obligated to do so, Sebastian obliged and promised to do so, and on June the 13th 1749 A.T.F, Sebastian's Mother had succumbed to her illness.

Sebastian quickly took the reins of the Wolfgang Mercenary Company. He began the laggard and methodic inventory examination of all of the company's assets, stockpiles, personel, and finances. The Wolfgang Mercenary Company held three training and recruitment facilities, two being located in Gallius City, and one located in Titus city. The Company also possessed nearly seven warehouses stocked full of weapons and armaments, albeit the weaponry was dated. Due to the companies lack of modern weaponry, Sebastian Wolfgang's first order of business was to buy several thousand Surplus Flintlock Rifles and two dozen fixed Artillery Guns.

Sebastian Wolfgang's Mercenary Company was well renowned thanks to his father, and grand fathers extensive contracting work. Earning the title "The Honorable Mercenaries". This title was earned primarily due to the company's unwavering dedication to their contracts, and their unwillingness to back out of a contract once it was signed, even if a higher bid or bribe was offered. With such a title to live up to Sebastian felt pressured to take on a large scale contract, and although his officers were loyal as were his employees, the Mercenary Company itself was beginning to struggle.

## Service Under William Boomica

Sebastian's wishes for a higher profile contract would quickly come to fruition, as on **DATE NEEDS TO BE ADDED,** William Boomica, Warlord of The Warlord State of Titus, had approached Sebastian Wolfgang with a contract. The contract outlined that William wished to hire the services of the Wolfgang Mercenary Company for his campaigns to "reunite Orbis" as stated by William. William further detailed in his offer he was willing to not only pay the Wolfgang Mercenary Company an exorbitant amount for their services, but also would exempt Sebastian Wolfgang and his properties from any State Taxation. Finally to sweeten the deal, William also promised that once Orbis was united, The Wolfgang Mercenary company would be granted a sole monopoly on all state Military Private Contracting.

At first Sebastian displayed accismus towards Williams offer. While a small part of Sebastian detested William for the way he ruled, Sebastian above all else was attempting to expand the contract further in his favor. In what was considered a brazen request, Sebastian attempted to add onto the contract that his company would be allotted the control of Gallius City. William responded to this overstep in anger and threaten to forcibly seize Sebastian's personal properties and training facilities, all of which were within Williams Realm, if he dared to make such an "outrageous" request again. It became quite clear to Sebastian that the initial contract laid before him was the best possible route, and that backing out now could potentially unleash Williams wrath upon him. Sebastian accepted and signed the contract laid before him on **DATE NEEDS TO BE ADDED,** and officially became in service to The Warlord State of Titus.

## Service and Capture

Sebastian Wolfgang was first tasked with garrisoning the capital of The Warlord State of Titus. Thanks to his company's renown as "Honorable Mercenaries" William entrusted Sebastian enough to be the Garrison Commander of Titus City. William was in the process of adjusting his puzzle pieces across his ever expanding realm, and with Williams Marshal headed North, William found himself entangled in a campaign South to assist his Southern Generals with their conquest of Southern Orbis. In Williams absences, Sebastian found himself with plenty of free time on his hands. When he wasn't practicing on leadership drills, he acquainted himself with Artillery Procedures. Within a few weeks time, Sebastian had learned the ropes of leading Artillery Regiments.

Whenever Sebastian wasn't training, he found himself exploring Titus City. He was in awe at the architectural magnificence of Titus City, from it's well organized districts, to its beautifully ordained structures, Sebastian Wolfgang had fallen in love with the city. Sebastian's repressed hobby of painting returned, and in a short time Sebastian was once again a local celebrity for his numerous art pieces. At an art festival Sebastian had met a woman named Antonia. Upon meeting one another, Antonia and Sebastian quickly found that they had an affinity for each other. Within months Sebastian had begun courting Antonia after gaining the approval of her father. However Antonia became disillusioned with Sebastian's Military Career, while she despised William Boomica as a figurehead, she mainly was not willing to commit her life to a man who in her own words "could lose his life so easily in battle". Sebastian made it clear that while he understood Antonia's wishes, he could not be relinquished from his duties to his company or his mother's promise. This resulted in Sebastian and Antonia briefly separating, something that would only further drive Sebastian to seek out avenues to escape his new Mercenary Career.

Late in 1758 A.T.F William Boomica would return from his Southern Campaigns. William had found great success in subduing most of the Southern Realms of Orbis, and had left the remaining scraps and holdouts to be mopped up by his generals. Upon Williams return to the Capital of Titus City, Sebastian Wolfgang had briefed William on the current state of the city. Furthermore Sebastian had also successfully completed his orders of training a large and well disciplined force of Artillerymen. William was pleased with Sebastian's work, and immediately turned his attention to the happenings of his Marshals campaigns in The Far North. While Arthur Paxton had found great success with his initial campaign, Arthur and Williams underestimation of Karkos's forces resulted in the monumental gains being immediately lost. Much of Arthur's losses were, in part, due to Karkos's Armies being able to hastily respond to Arthurs Incursions by force marching North. Additionally the the neutral state of Pamplonei, situated directly North of The Warlord State of Titus's borders, allowed Karkos's forces to march through their territory, which in turn resulted in Karkos's forces reaching The Far North in a much more timely manner. In a show of retaliation against The County of Pamplonei, William Boomica ordered his Marshal, Arthur Paxton, to sack the city of Pamplonei. Sebastian detested William upon learning of what William had planned, and later Sebastian would find he wasn't alone in his adamant disagreement with Williams demands.
