Character History:
Volantis
Aeradar was born the second son of the esteemed House Caltarys, Volantene nobles of Valyrian descent. Noted elephants in Volantis, his parents owned and operated numerous diversified business ventures within the metropolis and were renown as investors in potentially profitable ventures. From a young age, Aeradar was taught how each business ran and operated, an apprenticeship of sorts as he learned banking, shipping, and slave trading. Among the oldest and most prized holdings of his family was the Caltarys Ludus, famed far and wide for training the finest gladiators to fight and die in the Ruby Well. It was hear that Aeradar found his true calling, his place in the financial empire House Caltarys, as a lanista. For the better part of a decade he oversaw the training of champions, reveling in the pageantry of the games and thriving in the social circles of the great city.
However, as House Caltarys became one of the primary benefactors of the colonial efforts in Sothoryos, and what would eventually become the colony of Linyanti, they chose Aeradar to oversee their investment, ensure their family's influence in the colony, and turn a profit. Rather than abiding by the usual Valyrian tradition of marrying siblings, a wedding was arranged between Aeradar and Baela Tarnarys, only daughter of Lord Vaenor Taernarys, as a means of sealing a political union between the colony's governing family and one of its primary investors.
Linyanti
Aeradar arrived in Linyanti 5 years ago, the ambitious young man expecting to carve a beacon of civilization out of the heart of hell through force of will alone. The first year was spent either fighting disease or fighting the natives, the expedition managing to erect a simple palisade as their only real achievement, a paltry defense against the horrors of the continent.
The second year saw the establishment of a successful stone quarry by Aeradar, securing a monopoly on a valuable colonial resource, as well as allowing the timber buildings and defenses to be replaced with granite edifices, offering at least a sense of security from the wilds.
The third year saw these successes turned to tragedy, claiming Aeradar's wife Baela, as well as their unborn child, an event Aeradar is loath to speak of and those who were present know well enough not to ask about. Aeradar visited the quarry less and less after this incident, retreating into the heart of the city and largely leaving it managed by his overseer.
The fourth year seemed to give Aeradar a new drive and vision, leading to a new venture in the construction of the Pit of Anogar, the lord once again taking up the mantle of a lanista to diversify his business holdings. There was a need for entertainment in this colonial backwater to stave off insanity, the violence within the controlled arena walls distracting from the violence without.
Trials, tribulations, crucibles, misfortune, mishaps, tribulation, and woe were overcome by the roar of the crowd. They persevered and Linyanti was forged on the backs of the degraded, diseased, and the dead. With the rampant mortality rate stabilized, word was sent back to Volantis that Linyanti was ready for proper colonization and expansion.
Brother in Arms
Malix the Maelstrom was a legend of the Ruby Well of Volantis and one of the finest champions the ludus of House Caltarys has every known. As a pit fighter he was peerless, undefeated in over two hundred matches in the sands in a career spanning thirty years. In honor of his victories he was granted his freedom, though remained on in the employ of House Caltarys to oversee the recruitment and training of gladiators as their Doctore. When Aeradar embarked on the colonial expedition, Doctore accompanied him. The old former gladiator serves as Aeradar advisor, bodyguard, confidant, and manages the ludus in his employer's absence. Even in his old age, he is a seasoned fighter. More importantly, he has a discerning eye, with an invaluable ability to look at a fresh slave and see a champion in the same way a sculptor can look at a raw piece of marble and see the statue beneath.
Reputation:Lord Aeradar is known as the primary source of stone within the colony, due to the Caltarys Quarry. However, he is renown as the proprietor of The Pit of Anogar, trainer of the finest gladiators on the continent, as well as one of the primary political and economic forces in the colony. When bread and games are all that stand between civilization and madness, it pays to have a monopoly on the latter.
Physical Description: Aeradar looks pretty damn Valyrian. Violet eyes, silver hair, fair complexion, a constant haughty "I'm better than you" imperious look in his eyes. He stands six feet high, taller than his middle sister Aelyx, but still a few inches shorter than his giraffe of a sister Hel. He is always impeccably dressed.
