Arathorn Beowulf

Arathorn Beowulf née Jager was a member of the Enthas military working as an agent of Ivan Beowulf, the council member in charge of military operations. He also was married to Ivan and they had a child, Ellington Beowulf who is a member of an adventuring guild. He has been missing for a month, presumed dead. But in truth he came back to life without his memories.

History
He was born in Jarren’s Outpost, a town near the capital which bordered on the mountains. It was a military town so he grew up watching members of the town train in the ways of fighting, not to mention his mother was a solider. He had an older brother named Garrick and six years after he was born his younger sister Ridley came into the world. Unfortunately his mother became ill shortly after giving birth and died, his father soon followed out of despair. His 12 year old brother was then in charge of the Jagar family.

The year before Garrick turned 13 was rough, Arathorn was in charge of taking care of Ridley while Garrick begged for money. Once Garrick had turned 13 it was a bit better, he joined the military and they were able to get some housing in the barracks. Plus some of the soldiers took pity on them and treated them with kindess.

Once he became a teenager he joined in the local military and by age 16 out ranked his brother, Garrick. Garrick, jealous and in fury over his younger brother being better than him took Ridley and left for the capital to be stationed somewhere else. Arathorn was heartbroken over it. Garrick continues to feel outshined by Arathorn and wishes to improve even farther in order to prove himself better than his younger brother.

When he turned 20 he was moved to the border of Saltu due to increasing tension with Saltu & Acerbus. It was there that he met Ivan Beowulf, at the time his commanding officer. They got along well and worked together even better. They became brothers in arms and Ivan requested to bring Arathorn with him if he was stationed elsewhere. His request was granted.

It took two years for them to realize that they were in love with eachother, Ivan was hesitant to begin courting Arathorn due to the power imbalance, but Arathorn made the first move and they both knew they could work on an even playing field even if Ivan out ranked him.

At age 24 while stationed on the coast Ridley came to visit him. She had changed since last they had seen each other, she was older and wiser. She had stopped by to tell him that she was going to join the Cobalt Soul and that while they wouldn't be seeing each other again for a long time she'd be there when he needed her most.

Two years after that Enthas and Saltu went to war over land disuptes and useage. Ivan was stationed inside of Saltu and so Arathorn followed. Arathorn felt poorly for the residents of Saltu so when he came across an injured soldier (Lior), he helped the man to his feet, gave him a mildly useful gift and gave him directions away from the fray.

Two years later while he and Ivan were traveling they came across a tiefling urchin named Ellington. They liked the kid and the kid quickly bonded with them and so they ended up adopting them. Ellington really enjoyed all the traveling and loved to draw the new scenery around them. They also liked drawing their new dads and one day gifted Arathorn one of these drawings. Arathorn treasured it and always carried it with him from that day forth.

Two years later Ivan took him to the capitol on and while Ivan was busy making his arguments to the council Arathorn made the acquaintance of a mage member of the council. They saw some potential in him so tutored him in the arcane arts for the next couple of years and supplied him with a spellbook. Meanwhile Ivan managed to become a member of the council. For the next couple of years they stayed in the capitol and established themselves there. Durring this time they were wed.

At age 36 he was sent to Acerbus in order to rescue a group of trader's whose ship was wrecked on the Acerbus shores. During that time he met and worked with Gorrin, a bugbear berserker simply looking for money. And while she wasn't the brightest she knew her homeland and was able to help him navigate to the traders. But on the way to Enthas through the mountains they were attacked and Arathorn had to get the traders out of there, he promised Gorrin he'd come back and help her. But he didn't, he needed to focus on the traders. Little did he know Gorrin survived and then sought out vengeance.

Back at home he was doing his duties when he met Dorenas Waylon, a half elf informant for the Crownsguard on the business of one of the smaller crime empires of the capitol. They were getting along very well and became very close friends, frankly in love with each other. But when Dorenas asked Arathorn if he'd ever be interested in having something romantic or sexual Arathorn said no outright and then abandoned that friendship. Dorenas was heartbroken and wanted to make Arathorn feel that same pain, and as an assassin that wouldn't be impossible.

As a 40 year old he became interested in his past so went back to Jarren’s Outpost and to his old family home. It was in need of repair but untouched. The soldiers remembered the family that lost so much. Inside in a tome belonging to his mother he found a map pointing towards The Dead Islet. He had no idea what was supposed to be there and he hasn't gotten a chance to go see.

Six years later Ivan asked him to lead a group into the mountains in order to speak with the main tribe leaders about if they would support Enthas in a war againest Acerbus. On the way there he hired a powerful warlock, Ilvemi. A member of the small aasimar tribe known as The Imi. She was desperate for medicine for her daughter and Arathorn and Enthas could provide it. The plan was to have her use mass suggestion on the tribe leaders if they were to disagree. They would be the only two people to ever know. She followed the group in secret.

When everyone had arrived though they were ambushed and it was a massacre. Ilvemi fled for her life. Meanwhile Arathorn tried his best to fight them off but was killed in action. For more info see The Scarred Massacre.

Six days later he woke up without his memories.
