## Biography

### Background

Harrian Arcelyon was a dedicated and loyal servant to the Aethendonic States despite his family's position as being one of the most influential Houses in Faelaria and having strong connections to the Faelariyan Resurgence Movement.

Harrian was destined to be the Lord of Myrkaythya with him being the eldest child of the Marcellus, the Lord of Myrkaythya, however since a very young age he had been fascinated with the knights and personnel around the holdfast who he would religiously watch train. Once Harrian was old enough to hold a sword he would request lesson-after-lesson with a duelist. Harrian would become an expert in dual-weapon combat earning him the nickname 'Twinblade'.

Harrian believed that his destiny was to become the greatest swordsman that the Aethendonic Isles had ever seen and knew that the way forward was by proving his worth amongst trials for the Aetherian Vanguard. Upon hearing rumours that the Vanguard was in Laufia, he left the castle during a solo horse-riding session and made his way to the Capital of Faelaria along with his two blades of Aurendalyte Steel. Harrian ended up winning the trial and was offered a place in Aethendon City's Vanguard, much to his family's dismay.

After many years in the capital working alongside the Military Tactician Hadriyan Valysnako, Harrian would be stationed to the Isle of Marskrainia following a promotion that saw him oversee the heir to the throne of Marskriania, Kaelyna Mystara. The two would fall in love despite Lysandros Mystara's wishes for her to be married off to House Danestovyn. Kaelyna and Harrian would continue their relationship in secrecy but Kaelyna became pregnant and Harrian was discovered to be the father. Harrian would be banished from the Aetherian Vanguard and him and Kaelyna were forced to send away their twin children.

Harrian would return home to the Myrk however his father turned him and his son away resulting in Harrian having to send his child to a Laufia City orphanage and him to remain on the streets of Laufia as a failure. When the Vanguard returned to the city for more trials, Harrian decided to watch them. He met with one of his old Vanguard Commanders, Vaeradis Takaeryn, who shared the upbringing of leaving behind inheritance for a life as a knight. Vaeradis would bring Harrian back into the Aetherian Vanguard as his apprentice and taught him the tactical side of warfare as well as feed his thirst for duels.

The second time Aetherian Vanguard, Harrian would find his first taste of real warfare alongside Vaeradis and his old friend Hadriyan Valysnako during the Zephrysian War. Harrian became an acclaimed and respected swordsman for his efforts in the war. He was known as the 'Twinblade' by all and 'Harrian Falconheart' by the Aethendonic Soldiers for his switch from a life of Faelariyan royalty to that of Aethendonic Warfare and Glory.

Harrian knew of his handsome appearance however there was no woman he wanted more than Kaelyna Mystara. He purposefully acquired Jaekan Mystara, the younger brother of Kaelyna, to relay messages to her on his travels back home. He rekindled his relationship and knew it was only a matter of time he would see her again following the destruction of the marriage proposal between House Mystara and House Danestovyn which was partly the fault of Harrian himself.
