====Storyline====
====Storyline====
'''András Géza Velencei''' is one of the main characters and the central protagonist of ''Noble Dog''. András was Geza III and Beleknegini's second born son, after Sesztak I. In the beginning when András was born, as the second born son, he was not the inheritor of the throne and was instead sent away to live with monks under orders of Geza III. He lived with Clarence and Father Marfi in the Abbey of Velencei Nemj. Geza and Beleknegini only sought to foster and care for their firstborn son, Sesztak. After the deaths of his aunt and uncle Rozina I and Kalman I, Geza III was coronated and as a result András was given the title of Alispan of Velencei Nemj at the age of 15. Soon after Geza's coronation as the Elso Nemes of the House of Velencei, Sesztak died of disease at 19. While this made András the heir apparant, Geza III and Beleknegini did not intend to allow him to become the next in line.  
'''András Géza Velencei''' is one of the main characters and the central protagonist of ''Noble Dog'', and the leader of ''Company of the East''. András is is Géza III and Beleknegini's second-born son, after Seszták Velencei. When András was born, he was not seen as a potential inheritor of the throne as head of the House of Velencei. As a result, he was sent away at the age of 2 to the Abbey Upon Velencei Németújvár. There, he lived with Clarence and Father Márfi in the Abbey and lived similarly to the monks. When András  turned 15, he was granted the title of Alispán of Velencei Németújvár and inherited the land of Velencei Németújvár. This was precluded by the murders of his uncle Kálmán, his aunt Rozina, and the death of his brother Seszták from the Bagamér Plague. While there have been talks of András now becoming the heir, both Géza III and Beleknegini have told him both publicly and privately that they do not believe that he is mature or able to handle the mantle.  
 


At the time of the story's beginning, András is a young teenager at 17 as the Alispan of Velencei Nemj. He did not take any real administration role in running Velencei Nemj. He is given the vision of his ancestor, Almo I, an ancestor that lived the Proto-Imperial Era. He created a reliquary, the Reliquary of Almo, which he entrusted to the Bystriki Monks who would protect the Reliquary in Velencei Nemj. When Almo I appears as a visage to Andras, he believes it is something that Father Marfi knows about. When Marfi informs Andras about the Reliquary, Andras sets out to find out about the missing pieces of it. Unbeknownst to him, his journey would entangle him in the power struggle between the Erdosi and the Redicsi, the Noble Dance Massacre, and the eventual Civil War of the Three Emperors. Searching for blood vial of the Prophet Dezső of Knowledge, he finds himself dragged into the complicated world that is the Empire.  
At the time of the story's beginning, András is a young teenager at 17 as the Alispan of Velencei Németújvár. He did not take any real administration role in running Velencei Németújvár. He is given a series of odd dreams, including a premonition of a statue which is actually the Reliquary of Almo, created by his long ancestor Almo I. He believes that the reliquary potentially holds the answers to the decline of the Empire. When he consults Father Marfi, it appears that Father Marfi knows about the general location due to the Reliquary being bequeathed to the monks before they left. When Marfi informs András about the Reliquary, András sets out to find out about the missing pieces of it. Unbeknownest to him, his journey would subsequently entangle him in the War of the Three Emperors and in saving the Empire from certain doom.

| Andras and Clarence have a very close male bond that is unobfuscated by the differences in their rank and their difference in species. Andras and Clarence have a Father-son relationship, having grown up in the Abbey of Velencei Nemj. together as children. Clarence acts as an ear to listen to and cares for Andras. In turn, Andras is extremely trusting towards Clarence and will often speak to Clarence about issues that Andras is facing that the rest of the crew cannot hear about. Clarence, having been raised directly as a Bystriki Monk instead of the son of a noble by Father Marfi, Clarence is extremely prude and respectful of other nobles and people. He is, however, extremely protective of Andras.  Often times, Clarence is shown to be more strict with people who approach Andras, presenting himself as a servant of the young noble. Even in private, Clarence still often presents himself as the servant of Andras, standing up straight with a stiff posture. Andras is extremely dependent on Clarence's presence in order to keep his emotions in check. Andras tends to shut down and become withdrawn without Clarence's presence. His body language tends to slouch and draw inward, while his voice becomes hoarse and more murmurish. Because of Clarence's lack of understanding of language, Andras is the only one who can fully interpret Clarence.

! Geza III
| '''{{font color|#9C0400|Negative}}'''
| András and Geza have a very untouched relationship, with András never fully understanding why Geza did not declare him his successor after Seszták's death. Shortly after being born at around 2, Andras was sent to live with Father Marfi and Clarence. Andras's view of Geza as a father is almost non-existent.
|-
! Beleknegini
| '''{{font color|#9C0400|Negative}}'''
| Andras and Beleknegini have an even colder relationship than Andras and Geza due to the fact that Beleknegini is not an Erdosi and Andras is not Hoditok. The relationship and how it's viewed between the two is not very obvious, and while there is no real outward hostility, there is very little interaction between the two beyond looking at each other.
|-
! Seszták I
| '''{{font color|#FFB200|Complicated}}'''
| András and Seszták had a rather complicated relationship where Seszták and András meeting was forbidden by Geza and Beleknegini, but was done anyway. András had always felt somewhat alienated by Seszták's acceptance of their separation. The last time András saw Seszták was after the coronation, after which Seszták passed away.

'''Clarence''' is one of the main characters and the central deutertagonist of Noble Dog. He is the adopted son of Father Marfi and was born to two unnamed parents who abandoned him on the steps of the Cathedral of Esztergom. When he was two, he was given to Father Marfi by Szerafin as Marfi was the only one who would raise the calf. Marfi at this point was the only Bystriki monk. Clarence would later be introduced to Andras almost as a brother. Clarence made it a point to be more of a father than a brother to Andras. When Andras grew of age and became an Alispan with Geza's coronation, Clarence left the Abbey with Andras.

Clarence is a humble individual that is in touch to the Bystriki roots that were taught and sowed by Father Marfi. He wears a typical garb like any Bystriki monk that uses very unassuming clothes. He speaks a specific language in which the only person who is able to understand him is Father Marfi. He otherwise, does not speak at all. He is usually reliant on his own body language and gestures in order to communicate anything. His own facial expression is almost always neutral, never really defaulting to positive or negative. At the time of the story's beginning, Clarence is an aide to András, acting as András's confidant and will often appear at András's side.
 
===Physical Traits & Appearance===
Clarence, height wise, is taller than Heszda and shorter than László. He is the only cow character within the entire story, and has a set of horns with tipped wooden ends.

It is strung together with simple rope that reaches his chest.


At the time of the story's beginning, Clarence is a young adult at the age of 22, and aids Andras. Throughout the entire story, Clarence is Andras's confidant and will often appear at Andras's side. When Andras recieves the vision of his own ancestor, Almo I; Andras and Clarence make their way to visit Father Marfi. Clarence is mute as a result of never being taught how to speak by Marfi.  
Clarence is taller than András and is posed as one of the more taller characters in the cast, trading off with a slim bodyset. Clarence is a Frisian Cow who comes from an unnamed country. He is unique in that his cow horns are tipped with wood that was hand crafted by Márfi as a gift. Clarence attempts to appear as clean as possible due to his relationship to the nobility.

===Storyline===
'''Kalliszto''' is one of the main characters of ''Noble Dog''. He is the son of an unnamed family and an unnamed archivist that is assigned to assist Andras by Muron before Muron tells Geza of Andras's presence in Esztergom. The youngest of any of the archivists, he has traditionally found himself more at home with the more war-like, battle-focused Veszpremic, Hoditok and Salgoi than he has with knowledge intense Erdos. When Andras and Clarence first meet Kalliszto, Kalliszto is engaged in a familial dispute over his position as an archivist, something he did not want for himself. Kalliszto has a natural born talent of archivism, history and more importantly, has a better lay of the land of politics than Andras and Clarence. Kalliszto knows much about Andras and the Velencei family, much to Andras's confusion. Kalliszto eventually begins butting into conversations that are originally between Andras and Clarence, eventually asking that he come with Andras and not be left to rot with the Circle. Originally, Andras intended to reject the young archivist before being berated by Geza III. After his exiling from the city, Andras accepts. Before leaving, he poses as a higher ranking archivist and picks one of the mercenaries that the Circle employs to keep on deck. That mercenary happens to be Rhea.  
'''Kallisztó''' is one of the main characters of ''Noble Dog'' and a member of András's Crew. He is the first person that joins András's Crew, followed shortly by Rhea and Ildiko. He is the son of an unnamed archiving family that lived in the Megye of Gesta. He is initially introduced to the cast as one of several unnamed archivists that were assigned to help Andras by Mürón. Unlike most of the archivists, he is extremely young and much shorter than the rest, who reflect a primarily elder demographic. He displays an extreme adept knowledge of the history of the Balaton/Veszpremic, Hoditok and Salgo and knows about war more than he does about the more knowledge and philosophically intense Erdős studies. He is also a very good interpreter, knowing both Imperial Language and knowing Palatinate Wolf Language. Unlike Andras and Clarence, Kallisztó has a good lay of the political landscape than either of them.
 
Kallisztó is first introduced in the Harangtorony of Esztergom when Andras and Clarence first arrive there, and is assigned to him by Muron. When Andras reveals that he is the son of Geza III and that he seeks to follow north into the Megye of Gesta, Kallisztó attempts to convince him that they would be better with someone who knows the lay of the political landscape. He is the first person who actually directly mentions the feudal dispute between the House of Zamo and the House of Lipot. Andras initially rejects the help, but later finds himself pressured by Clarence to accept Kallisztó's aid. Kallisztó later meets with the two outside the city before Geza confronts Andras.  
 
===Physical Traits & Appearance===
Kallisztó is a Erdős male, as such is of Beagle descent. Standing at around 5'10", he is slightly smaller than András by an inch and one of the smaller ones of the group, rivaled only by Mátyás in short stature. Kallisztó is a primarily white color with a secondary muted chestnut color. His eyes are a simple brown color. His most notable defining fur-coat trait is his chestnut colored ring patterns that adorn his fingers individually.


===Rhea===
Kallisztó wears the garbs of an Archivist of the Circle of Esztergom. He represents this with the color-code of a mainly dark blue clothing with golden highlights and trim. He often keeps his diary strapped to him at all times, even during fights.

'''Rhea''' is one of the main characters of ''Noble Dog'' and a member of András's Crew. She is the daughter of two fugitive Salavari Erdosi criminals who lived in Balaton in the Imperial West. She was originally a member of a mercenary crew, ''The Warlords Marauders''. Originating from a nomadic family of Salavari Erdos, her family wandered into the Imperial South and would later abandon her at the city of Oroszlana. When she was abandoned, she began to work as a mercenary for some of the Hoditok women. During the Hoditok Disunity, she came to see herself as an independent mercenary with no ties to the Empire, and soon after worked as a sellsword for primarily independent Hoditok warlords against the independent Veszpremic kings. She was one of many notable mercenary personalities that would mostly disappear from the public eye after the end of the Disunity. She had originally fought alongside László in the war, though the two were only acquanintences. During a skirmish against several Veszpremic scouts, led by Rakoczi, she was pounced on by a Veszpremic scout, resulting in the loss of her left eye. When the Disunity ended, she bounced around the Empire seeking potential mercenary employment. She was eventually sought out by Muron to work directly for the Circle of Esztergom as an expeditionary security detail. This ended up being psuedo-retirement as she was never deployed.

Andras's prim and proper attitude clashes with Rhea's more common and down-to-earth demeanor. However, Rhea views Andra as a competent and capable leader compared to her former living quarters. Andras often comes to her with questions on combat, as Rhea is more than capable of combat with a variety of weapons.

During the conflict between the Houses of Lipot and Zamo, Györgymező was looted by Lipot hired bandits and her family chased out to live with her in Velencei Nemj. Ildikó is not as trusted as Clarence is, but she is still kept within Andras's inner circle that he will talk to her freely.

===Storyline===
'''Géza Almo Velencei III''' is one of the main characters and one of the antagonists of ''Noble Dog'' . Géza III is Almo's second born son and third born descendant, after Kalman I and Rozina I. Geza is the Elso Nemes of the House of Velencei and one of the most powerful politicians in the entire Imperial East, having direct control of almost all of the Imperial East Estates of Gesta and Esztergom. When Geza was born, he was considered to be the worst of Almo's descendants. While Almo prioritized his eldest son Kalman, he noticed Geza's tendency to fight and pick on Kalman. While not outright, Geza had various tendencies to be violent, and was nicknamed by Father Marfi as the Hódítók Bastard. Geza III would later marry Beleknegini, not really out of love but more to appease his father and to legitimize his own bloodline. When Almo II passed away from age, Geza III and Beleknegini would plot against Kalman and Rozina, and would eventually kill both them and Kalman's son Emerbik II to ascend to Elso Nemes of the House of Velencei. Through his own methods, he solved the financial crisis that the House of Velencei had incurred under Kalman and would unite many of the different noble Erdosi houses under his own council against the Venderolt Redicsi in the north of the Imperial East. When Sesztak died at the age of 19, he did not declare Andras to be his successor.  
'''Géza Almo Velencei III''' is one of the main characters and one of the antagonists of ''Noble Dog'' . Géza III is Almo's second born son and third born descendant, after Kalman I and Rozina I. Géza is the Elso Nemes of the House of Velencei and one of the most powerful politicians in the entire Imperial East, having direct control of almost all of the Imperial East Estates of Gesta and Esztergom. When Géza was born, he was considered to be the worst of Almo's descendants. While Almo prioritized his eldest son Kalman, he noticed Géza's tendency to fight and pick on Kalman. While not outright, Géza had various tendencies to be violent, and was nicknamed by Father Marfi as the Hódítók Bastard. Géza III would later marry Beleknegini, not really out of love but more to appease his father and to legitimize his own bloodline. When Almo II passed away from age, Géza III and Beleknegini would plot against Kalman and Rozina, and would eventually kill both them and Kalman's son Emerbik II to ascend to Elso Nemes of the House of Velencei. Through his own methods, he solved the financial crisis that the House of Velencei had incurred under Kalman and would unite many of the different noble Erdősi houses under his own council against the Venderolt Redicsi in the north of the Imperial East. When Seszták died at the age of 19, he did not declare András to be his successor.  
 
Géza is first seen when András and Clarence, along with their escort of Erdősi militiamen make their way to Esztergom in search of potential info on the relic they seek. Géza is uninterested in what they're looking for, but is informed by Muron when András is in the city. Géza furiously storms to where András is in the capital and makes it known to András that he and Clarence are not welcome in the capital, and blames András for the death of Seszták. When he hears of the vision András had of Almo I, he accuses András of being delusional and insane. Géza, in secret, is planning on entering the Civil War of the Three Emperors against all three of the claimants and seek to establish Erdősi supremacy.

András's Crew

András I

Outline

Andras PFP.png
  • Name: András Géza Velencei I
  • Runic Name: File:András Name.png
  • Series: Second of Gézan Males, Second of Gézan Descendants.
  • Species: Dog, Beagle.
  • Gender: Male.
  • House: Velencei.
  • Tribe: Esztergom Proper.
  • Position: Alispán of Velencei Németújvár.
  • Alignment: Coalitionist.
  • Weapon: Helvécian Royal Sword (Khanda)

Storyline

András Géza Velencei is one of the main characters and the central protagonist of Noble Dog, and the leader of Company of the East. András is is Géza III and Beleknegini's second-born son, after Seszták Velencei. When András was born, he was not seen as a potential inheritor of the throne as head of the House of Velencei. As a result, he was sent away at the age of 2 to the Abbey Upon Velencei Németújvár. There, he lived with Clarence and Father Márfi in the Abbey and lived similarly to the monks. When András turned 15, he was granted the title of Alispán of Velencei Németújvár and inherited the land of Velencei Németújvár. This was precluded by the murders of his uncle Kálmán, his aunt Rozina, and the death of his brother Seszták from the Bagamér Plague. While there have been talks of András now becoming the heir, both Géza III and Beleknegini have told him both publicly and privately that they do not believe that he is mature or able to handle the mantle.

At the time of the story's beginning, András is a young teenager at 17 as the Alispan of Velencei Németújvár. He did not take any real administration role in running Velencei Németújvár. He is given a series of odd dreams, including a premonition of a statue which is actually the Reliquary of Almo, created by his long ancestor Almo I. He believes that the reliquary potentially holds the answers to the decline of the Empire. When he consults Father Marfi, it appears that Father Marfi knows about the general location due to the Reliquary being bequeathed to the monks before they left. When Marfi informs András about the Reliquary, András sets out to find out about the missing pieces of it. Unbeknownest to him, his journey would subsequently entangle him in the War of the Three Emperors and in saving the Empire from certain doom.

Physical Traits & Appearance

András is a teenage male Erdősi, about 17 years old at the time of the story's beginning. He stands at about 5'9". Almost his entire heritage and physical appearance is direct from his patrilineal heritage of Velencei Males. He is however, the only one with his color pattern, where his colors are split perfectly half-and-half. He has the Lambda of the Velencei on his forehead, with the Three Dots of Knowledge on his head. His eyes are a shade of deep blue, one of the few traits that he retained from Beleknegini.

András wears typical clothing for an Imperial Nemesseg. His clothing is more open and is a shade of blue. Going down to the bottom of his coat is seafoam green. As his rank is an Alispan, he wears a single tall plum pinned to his hat with a silver emblem of the Lambda of Velencei. His hat is a deep brown fur with golden accents. He has a Noble Strap that is a dark shade of teal and has a a golden accent. Hanging from his noble strap is his Erdősi Longsword, which is a Khanda. He also wears brown pants with very dark purple leg dressings.

András often wears the typical set of clothing for a Nemesség of his ranking, that being of an Alispán. As an Alispán, he wears a single plum on the top of his hat that is pinned down by a silver emblem of the Lambda of Velencei. His blue and seafoam green clothing has a deep blue outline. His fur hat is a deep rich brown fur color. His standard dressing when with royalty includes a black cape, but the majority of the time he does not wear the cape. His strap is teal with a golden pattern on it.

Relationships

Character Name Relationship Description
Clarence Positive András and Clarence have a very close male bond that is not obfuscated by the differences in their rank and their difference in species. András and Clarence have a relationship similar to that of a father-son relationship. Both of them grew up in the Abbey of Velencei Németújvár as children. Clarence however, is older than Andras and will often act as an ear to listen to Andras. Clarence often takes care of Andras beyond that duties of a normal monk would. In turn András is extremely trusting towards Clarence. He will often speak to Clarence about issues that he's facing that he doesn't want to talk about to the rest of the crew. The most notable of these is his interaction with his biological family members. Clarence, having been raised directly as a Bystriki Monk instead of the son of a noble by Father Marfi, Clarence is extremely prude and respectful of other nobles and people. He is, however, extremely protective of András. Often times, Clarence is shown to be more strict with people who approach András, presenting himself as a servant of the young noble. Even in private, Clarence still often presents himself as the servant of András, standing up straight with a stiff posture. András is extremely dependent on Clarence's presence in order to keep his emotions in check. András tends to shut down and become withdrawn without Clarence's presence. His body language tends to slouch and draw inward, while his voice becomes hoarse and more murmurish. Because of Clarence's lack of understanding of language, András is the only one who can fully interpret Clarence.
Geza III Negative András and Geza have a very untouched relationship, with András never fully understanding why Geza did not declare him his successor after Seszták's death. Shortly after being born at around 2, Andras was sent to live with Father Marfi and Clarence. Andras's view of Geza as a father is almost non-existent.
Beleknegini Negative Andras and Beleknegini have an even colder relationship than Andras and Geza due to the fact that Beleknegini is not an Erdosi and Andras is not Hoditok. The relationship and how it's viewed between the two is not very obvious, and while there is no real outward hostility, there is very little interaction between the two beyond looking at each other.
Seszták I Complicated András and Seszták had a rather complicated relationship where Seszták and András meeting was forbidden by Geza and Beleknegini, but was done anyway. András had always felt somewhat alienated by Seszták's acceptance of their separation. The last time András saw Seszták was after the coronation, after which Seszták passed away.

Clarence

Outline

Clarence PFP.png
  • Name: Clarence
  • Species: Cow, Frisian.
  • Gender: Male.
  • Position: Former Bystriki Monk of the Abbey of Velencei Németújvár.
  • Alignment: Unaligned.

Storyline

Clarence is one of the main characters and the central deutertagonist of Noble Dog. He is the adopted son of Father Marfi and was born to two unnamed parents who abandoned him on the steps of the Cathedral of Esztergom. When he was two, he was given to Father Marfi by Szerafin as Marfi was the only one who would raise the calf. Marfi at this point was the only Bystriki monk. Clarence would later be introduced to András almost as a brother. Clarence made it a point to be more of a father than a brother to András. When András grew of age and became an Alispan with Géza's coronation, Clarence left the Abbey with András.

Clarence is a humble individual that is in touch to the Bystriki roots that were taught and sowed by Father Marfi. He wears a typical garb like any Bystriki monk that uses very unassuming clothes. He speaks a specific language in which the only person who is able to understand him is Father Marfi. He otherwise, does not speak at all. He is usually reliant on his own body language and gestures in order to communicate anything. His own facial expression is almost always neutral, never really defaulting to positive or negative. At the time of the story's beginning, Clarence is an aide to András, acting as András's confidant and will often appear at András's side.

Physical Traits & Appearance

Clarence, height wise, is taller than Heszda and shorter than László. He is the only cow character within the entire story, and has a set of horns with tipped wooden ends. Clarence appears very unassuming as a monk using simple brown robes as his only garment. He also wears a brass starred cross, something that was gifting to him by Marfi. It is strung together with simple rope that reaches his chest.

Clarence is taller than András and is posed as one of the more taller characters in the cast, trading off with a slim bodyset. Clarence is a Frisian Cow who comes from an unnamed country. He is unique in that his cow horns are tipped with wood that was hand crafted by Márfi as a gift. Clarence attempts to appear as clean as possible due to his relationship to the nobility. His main coat colors are primarily white and secondarily black. Alongside this, he wears a brass Starred Cross that was gifted to him by Márfi around his necklace. It is strung together with simple rope, and extends no further than his torso.

Kallisztó

Outline

Kalliszto PFP.png
  • Name: Kallisztó
  • Species: Dog, Beagle.
  • Gender: Male.
  • Tribe: Erdős.
  • Position: Archivist at the Circle of Esztergom
  • Alignment: Coalitionist.
  • Weapon: Hoditok War Sword.

Storyline

Kallisztó is one of the main characters of Noble Dog and a member of András's Crew. He is the first person that joins András's Crew, followed shortly by Rhea and Ildiko. He is the son of an unnamed archiving family that lived in the Megye of Gesta. He is initially introduced to the cast as one of several unnamed archivists that were assigned to help Andras by Mürón. Unlike most of the archivists, he is extremely young and much shorter than the rest, who reflect a primarily elder demographic. He displays an extreme adept knowledge of the history of the Balaton/Veszpremic, Hoditok and Salgo and knows about war more than he does about the more knowledge and philosophically intense Erdős studies. He is also a very good interpreter, knowing both Imperial Language and knowing Palatinate Wolf Language. Unlike Andras and Clarence, Kallisztó has a good lay of the political landscape than either of them.

Kallisztó is first introduced in the Harangtorony of Esztergom when Andras and Clarence first arrive there, and is assigned to him by Muron. When Andras reveals that he is the son of Geza III and that he seeks to follow north into the Megye of Gesta, Kallisztó attempts to convince him that they would be better with someone who knows the lay of the political landscape. He is the first person who actually directly mentions the feudal dispute between the House of Zamo and the House of Lipot. Andras initially rejects the help, but later finds himself pressured by Clarence to accept Kallisztó's aid. Kallisztó later meets with the two outside the city before Geza confronts Andras.

Physical Traits & Appearance

Kallisztó is a Erdős male, as such is of Beagle descent. Standing at around 5'10", he is slightly smaller than András by an inch and one of the smaller ones of the group, rivaled only by Mátyás in short stature. Kallisztó is a primarily white color with a secondary muted chestnut color. His eyes are a simple brown color. His most notable defining fur-coat trait is his chestnut colored ring patterns that adorn his fingers individually.

Kallisztó wears the garbs of an Archivist of the Circle of Esztergom. He represents this with the color-code of a mainly dark blue clothing with golden highlights and trim. He often keeps his diary strapped to him at all times, even during fights.

Rhea

Outline

Rhea PFP.png
  • Name: Rhea
  • Species: Dog, Chow Chow
  • Gender: Female
  • Tribe: Salavar Erdős
  • Position: Mercenary-for-hire employed by Circle of Esztergom
  • Alignment: Coalitionist.
  • Weapon: Unique Naginata-Polesword

Storyline

Rhea is one of the main characters of Noble Dog and a member of András's Crew. She is the daughter of two fugitive Salavari Erdosi criminals who lived in Balaton in the Imperial West. She was originally a member of a mercenary crew, The Warlords Marauders. Originating from a nomadic family of Salavari Erdos, her family wandered into the Imperial South and would later abandon her at the city of Oroszlana. When she was abandoned, she began to work as a mercenary for some of the Hoditok women. During the Hoditok Disunity, she came to see herself as an independent mercenary with no ties to the Empire, and soon after worked as a sellsword for primarily independent Hoditok warlords against the independent Veszpremic kings. She was one of many notable mercenary personalities that would mostly disappear from the public eye after the end of the Disunity. She had originally fought alongside László in the war, though the two were only acquanintences. During a skirmish against several Veszpremic scouts, led by Rakoczi, she was pounced on by a Veszpremic scout, resulting in the loss of her left eye. When the Disunity ended, she bounced around the Empire seeking potential mercenary employment. She was eventually sought out by Muron to work directly for the Circle of Esztergom as an expeditionary security detail. This ended up being psuedo-retirement as she was never deployed.

At the time of the story's beginning, she was found when András seeks to go on an official expedition to recover several relics that belonged to Almo I's Reliquary. Rhea eventually joins András's crew and when Muron attempts to pull her away, she declines, saying she seeks to relive her life as a warrior as opposed to a civilian.

Relationships

Character Name Relationship Description
András Neutral András and Rhea have a very undeveloped relationship. While the two are not standoffish, the two seem to lack anything to really discuss. Andras's prim and proper attitude clashes with Rhea's more common and down-to-earth demeanor. However, Rhea views Andra as a competent and capable leader compared to her former living quarters. Andras often comes to her with questions on combat, as Rhea is more than capable of combat with a variety of weapons.

Ildikó

Outline

  • Name: Ildikó
  • Species: Dog, Beagle.
  • Gender: Female.
  • Tribe: Erdős.
  • Position: Erdősi Militiaman.
  • Alignment: Unaligned.
  • Weapon: Erdősi Sword

Storyline

Ildikó is one of the main characters of Noble Dog and a member of Andras's Crew. Ildikó is one of many offsprings from the farming village of Györgymező within the Imperial County of Zalavar. Ildikó was one of many of her siblings that enlisted in the Imperial Army, and she alongside her siblings fought in the Hoditok Disunity. She fought under Géza Velencei's command in the 15th Army of the Empire, 7th Szabálytalan Division where she fought in several battles against the Balaton-Heviz Kingdom. After the war, she was relocated to serve as a member of the Államőrség in the Államőrség Eastern Noble Division as the commander of the guard unit attached to Andras. During the conflict between the Houses of Lipot and Zamo, Györgymező was looted by Lipot hired bandits and her family chased out to live with her in Velencei Nemj. Ildikó is not as trusted as Clarence is, but she is still kept within Andras's inner circle that he will talk to her freely.

When Andras's guard is dissolved by Geza upon their arrival in Esztergom, Ildikó refuses to leave Andras and subsequently is branded a criminal by Geza.

László is one of the main characters of Noble Dog and a member of András's Crew. László was a notorious mercenary for hire that earned the nickname of The Blacktail. One of the mercenaries like Rhea, Atlas, and Racozki, László carved his name in blood. His name is derived from his helmet, which substitutes the typical embossed helmet-tail with a Northern Vadászmenyét Tail that goes down. László was originally part of a family of mercenaries, and when the Hoditok Disunity erupted, László joined. László and his nickname, The Blacktail became synonymous with uncertain loyalties. Often considered unbribable, László eventually fought within The Warlords Marauders alongside Rhea. László later became a fugitive after assassinating a member of the Court of Omens. Captured and escaped several times over, he made his way to the Imperial East becoming a sellsword. He was later hired by the Vandorolt Redicsi House of Zamo in an effort to fight against the House of Lipot mercenaries.

When Géza was born, he was considered to be the worst of Almo's descendants. While Almo prioritized his eldest son Kalman, he noticed Géza's tendency to fight and pick on Kalman. While not outright, Géza had various tendencies to be violent, and was nicknamed by Father Marfi as the Hódítók Bastard. Géza III would later marry Beleknegini, not really out of love but more to appease his father and to legitimize his own bloodline. When Almo II passed away from age, Géza III and Beleknegini would plot against Kalman and Rozina, and would eventually kill both them and Kalman's son Emerbik II to ascend to Elso Nemes of the House of Velencei. Through his own methods, he solved the financial crisis that the House of Velencei had incurred under Kalman and would unite many of the different noble Erdősi houses under his own council against the Venderolt Redicsi in the north of the Imperial East. When Seszták died at the age of 19, he did not declare András to be his successor.

Géza is first seen when András and Clarence, along with their escort of Erdősi militiamen make their way to Esztergom in search of potential info on the relic they seek.

Géza furiously storms to where András is in the capital and makes it known to András that he and Clarence are not welcome in the capital, and blames András for the death of Seszták. When he hears of the vision András had of Almo I, he accuses András of being delusional and insane.
