Andrei Rogarvia's page

1) Andrei Rogarvia is the illegitimate son of King Urzen Rogarvia. His bodyguard, Aurelia hid him away following the vanishing for fear that House Surtova would kill Andrei rather than allow a potential claimant to the Dragonscale Throne.
2) Andrei is outgoing and charismatic, with an easy laugh and kind heart, but a dark secret.
3) Ever since House Rogarvia disappeared eleven years ago, Andrei has dedicated his life to uncovering the reason their disappearance. This has become a gnawing obsession and if he ever uncovered a lead, it would be difficult not to follow it though no matter how dangerous it would be.
4) Although he would never admit it Andrei is secretly afraid that whatever was responsible for the disappearance of his kin will someday come for him as well.
5) Andrei hates House Surtova. He remembers how, as a boy how they assumed control over Brevoy after his house disappeared and he despises the seven noble families for how quick they turned their back on their previous loyalties. If given the opportunity to hurt House Surtova he would likely do so.

Two goals that are important to Andrei.

1) I would like to see Andrei eventually grow into his draconic heritage. I think that it would be cool that Andrei to eventually become a "Dragon Disciple". I'm not sure how much interaction with dragons happens in Kingmaker, but long term I think it would be great to develop Andrei as the second "coming" of Choral the Conqueror.
2) In line with my first goal, the second would be for Andrei to learn more about the fate of House Rogarvia and eventually find proof to establish his legitimacy as a heir of the Rogarvia line.

Two secrets about Andrei, one that he knows, and one that he not yet aware of.

1) Andrei has violent almost uncontrollable temper. He constantly has to strive to keep it in check and fights to keep it hidden between a calm exterior. What’s more he remembers once being told by his mother that the madness and greatness of House Rogarvia were but two sides of the same coin and that each time a new Rogarvia was born, the gods tossed the coin in the air and Brevoy would hold its breath to see how it would land.
2) What Andrei is not aware of is that his temper is a symptom of the blood that flows in his veins. His ancestor Choral the Conqueror was a dragon and that Andrei has inherited the curse of the Rogarvia bloodline.

Three people that are tied to Andrei.

1) Aurelia Ruvinov: Andrei’s aged protector and mentor, a former guard of House Rogarvia. Since the disappearance of his mother and father Aurela has dedicated what remains of her life to his protect him. Andrei has begun to suspect that Aurelia knows more about his family’s disappearance then she is willing to say.
2) Francos Harker: An retired thief turned tutor, Franco is the only person outside of Aurelia who knows the truth of Andrei. Franco was responsible for hiding Andrei and Aurelia following the vanishing eleven years ago. Franco is as much responsible for Andrei’s wayward education as Aurelia.
3) Elena Surtova: A minor noble of House Surtova with a perchance for gossip, Elena has recently crossed paths with Andrei and briefly recognized his face before he Andrei disappeared into a crowd. She has spent the last few weeks looking for him, knowing that she would be greatly rewarded by her house if she could uncover the truth behind Andrei.

Three memories, mannerisms or quirks Andrei possess.

1) Andrei's only remaining link to his family is a gold signet ring with crest of House Rogarvia inlayed into the seal. Andrei painstakingly cares for it and would be devastated if anything was to ever happen to it.
2) Based on an idealized image of his father, Andrei carries an Bastard Sword, much like the one his father Urzen would wield. During free moments, Andrei will sharpen the blade, smoothing out any knick in the blade or polish it to a mirror shine.
3) Andrei has become obsessed with the study of dragons and dragon-kin. Growing up, he would listen to the stories of Choral the Conqueror, and how he would command Red Dragons. Andrei knows this is nothing more than stories, but it hasn’t stopped him from becoming enchanted with the tales.
