Chapter 1: The Family And The Agents
Before i start the story, let's check the characters and main people in the order:
First, The Family Tree:
Small Huh? lets look at the members:
Grandmaster Hugues De Payns is a weary man, having to manage all the orders donations, finances and other important needs. He often has to work late into the night, in the order's base of Tortosa. To get rid of the the misery of managing all this, he drink a lot and smokes a bit as well. He used to be a veteran of the first crusade, so he is a good fighter and commander, but his work refrains him from fighting and commanding the order military. He is married to Matilda, and has 2 sons and a daughter.
Councillor Gottfried is Hugues' eldest son, and therefore heir to the order's throne. With Hugues caught up in his work, Gottfried commanding the order's tiny military force. Because of this, he is brilliant fighter and commander. How he is unhappy that is father is never able to come and visit him, and with like nothing more than to fight side by side with his father. However, he has a lot of excitement in his live, having to kill bandits and defend the order. How the lack of men to help him is starting to show, and he is getting heavily wounded and scarred in his battles.
There is Theodericus and Isabella, who are young kids who run around in the order's base of Tortosa. Theo will be the heir to the throne when Hugues dies.
Then there the agents, the helpers, the diplomats and other like them. the order doesn't have many, but they have a few:
Andreas is from Spain, a lowly priest who lived in tiny derelict chapels. He was a friend of Hugues, and when the first crusade was called, he join Hugues in the holy land. When the order was formed, Andreas was made high priest. With his high postion and the order's friendship with the pope, he was made a cardinal, thrust into the college of cardinals, and became one of the three preferati. Now he converts the many heathens in the orders tiny borders.
Athalwolf is from the bustling cities of Italy. His parents were killed in a sea storm, so he lived by pickpocketing the rich fat merchants of the cities. when he tried to steal a shipment of florins, he was trapped inside the transport ship. when he landed, he was in Tortosa. a friend of his was working as a order guard, and he was taking to Hugues. after hearing his tales of pickpocketing, Hugues decided to give him shelter, food, water and florins i he became a spy for him. and so Athalwolf now goes around spying on bandits camps and the bandits.
Henry is a wealthy noble of the order, Educated at the finest papal schools and churches. His rich parents were highly cardinals, who sent him to the holy land to study the Islamic faith to help the Pope understand it. He became fluent in Arabic, and his parents became to believe his was being converted, so he was sent to the order's base to help. he was quickly put to go use as a diplomat, and sent back to Italy to ask the pope for more donations.
