Storyline

András Géza Velencei is one of the main characters and the central protagonist of Noble Dog. András was Géza III and Beleknegini's second born son, after Sesztak I.

He lived with Clarence and Father Marfi in the Abbey of Velencei Németújvár. Géza 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, Géza III was coronated and as a result András was given the title of Alispan of Velencei Németújvár. at the age of 15. Soon after Géza's coronation as the Elso Nemes of the House of Velencei, Sesztak died of disease at 19. While this made András the heir apparant, Géza III and Beleknegini did not intend to allow him to become the next in line.

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 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 the Abbey.

When Marfi informs András about the Reliquary, András sets out to find out about the missing pieces of it.

Relationships

Character Name	Relationship	Description
Clarence	Positive	András and Clarence have a very close male bond that is unobfuscated by the differences in their rank and their difference in species. András and Clarence have a Father-son relationship, having grown up in the Abbey of Velencei Németújvár. together as children. Clarence acts as an ear to listen to and cares for András. In turn, András is extremely trusting towards Clarence and will often speak to Clarence about issues that András 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 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 András tends to shut down and become withdrawn without Clarence's presence.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	Andras and Geza have a very untouched relationship, with Andras never fully understanding why Geza did not declare him his successor after Sesztak's death. When Andras was born, almost immediately, he was sent to live with Father Marfi. Andras's view of Geza as a father is non-existanT.
Sesztak I	Complicated	Andras and Sesztak have a rather complicated relationship where Sesztak and Andras meeting was forbidden by Geza and Beleknegini, but was done anyway. Andras had always felt somewhat alienated by Sesztak's acceptance of their separation. The last time Andras saw Sesztak was after the coronation, after which Sesztak passed away.

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 Sesztak died at the age of 19, he did not declare András to be his successor.
