Markas Lestreleon

House Lestreleon is an old noble house in Exaldien with the motto, “Thunder at our heels”, a reference to the hunting mastiffs the house has bred since antiquity. Markas was given one of these mastiffs the day he left his family to seek his fortune in the world. The third son of a Lestreleon family near Mundt, the expectation placed upon him was to go his own way, or swear fealty to one of his brothers when it came time for them to take up lordship of their lands. Markas went his own way, and when he found the Hounds, the mercenary life intrigued him, the freedom from familial expectation and social maneuverings of the noble courts. Still, he doesn’t fight for money, more for his compatriots, and he has proven time and again now he much prefers shielding his allies from danger than accumulating glory for himself.

Markas is a 25-year-old knight who lives and fights by the strict code of the knights. His hound, Fawn, however, is happy to strike the final blow when his code would forbid it. She is a good and loyal dog.
