About Leon RavencourtBackground Spoiler:
Leon is the second son born to the line of Ravencourt this generation. Born during a Lunar Eclipse atop his family's ancestral home of Raven Tower, his grandfather heralded his birth as a sign. Groomed from an early age to take up the mantle of his ancestors and protect the lands from evils from beyond the grave, Leon knew from the beginning what his life would be. He has apprenticed to his uncle Sir Simon Ravencourt for years, following him as he tracked down ghouls and necromancers foul. On one such trip he was introduced to Professor Petros Lorrimor, a long time friend of the Ravencourt family, who tutored young Leon on the intricacies of undead lore and physiology. Recently a letter from Professor Lorrimor arrived addressed to Uncle Simon who had traveled north on the trail of a coven of Hags. Leon opened the letter and found a cryptic plea for help written by a frenzied hand. There was blood smeared on the carrier pigeon's feet. Leon was not ready to face the dangers his family was sworn against, but Professor Lorrimor's trouble would not wait for his training to finish... Family History Spoiler:
The Ravencourts are ancient noble family dedicated to the service of Pharasma. They are originally Taldan, but have a strong streak of Azlanti blood that they try desperately to preserve. The family's progenitor, Simon Whitemane, was a Field-Marshal of the Knights of Ozem. At the end of the Shining Crusade when the Shield of Aroden shattered, in the wake of Tar-Baphon's defeat, the shards of the shield were entrusted to the surviving leaders of the Crusade. Those shard-bearers went out into the land and raised families devoted to defending the land against the darkness that had claimed it. The shield-houses have been the Watcher-Lord of Lastwall's silent supporters in maintaining the peace of the land so that the job of holding back the darkness could be made easier. The Lord keeps his sights on the borders, the shield-houses keep watch over the populace, quietly among them like watchdogs in a herd of sheep. The shards of the shield became symbols of devotion to their charge to never again let Ustalav fall into darkness. At least that is how it was supposed to be. Of the original guardian houses, the Whitemane family and the Ravencourt family have merged by marriage. Many other houses have fallen or forgotten their oaths. Many shards have been lost. The House of Ravencourt now seeks the remaining shards. Five are accounted for, three of which are in the possession of the Ravencourt family. The rest are scattered. A History of Scars:
