not so Short Bio: /
Colonel Fitzherbert Coleridge was born to Baron Herbert Coleridge and Rhiannon verch Rhys. The family wasn’t well accepted in society due to the fact his mother was from Gnugar (Wales) and commonfolk at best before the marriage, but they still had money at the begining, however, considering Baron Herbert was stripped of his inheritance due to this act of marrying an unsuitable woman and only had one estate left, he had to start providing money for his family to afford their better lives. That’s why he started illegally rigging horse races with his “partner”. Everything was great at first, but nobody can live in lies for very long so as you can tell, when his scheme was crumbling around him he realised this would mean his family name would be ruined not just for him but his wife and all his children, so he did his partner wrong by letting everybody belive he was the only one in it. The partner was left in a tough spot and Herbert made sure all the evidence was destroyed or locked away so the partner couldn’t snitch on him if all the proof pointed otherwise.
Fitzherbert was born in 1791, promptly named after his father Herbert considering he was the family’s heir and firstborn. He was a happy child, with a personality simmilar to most children at the time, or in other words, a person indifferent to everybody else. But not for long. Soon Fitzherbert got siblings to play with. In 1794 a brother Daniel, and in 1797 a sister Branwen labeled by a gnugar name to anger Herbert’s parents. By the turn of the millenia Baron Coleridge had to resort to other means of making money to stay afloat, this being the previously mentioned illegal horse race rigging, however the children were none the wiser because their mother was very good at making them happy with very little. She herself growing up with little money knew the best ways to make do with little and she did a splendid job. The children were happy playing with each other, with little to no sibling rivalry to be seen. They loved each other wholeheartedly and loved their mother, even thought in those times richer parents spent very little time with their children, but because of her upbringing withouth servants to act as parents she was more than a good mother to them. By 1805 people were aware something was going on during the races and to protect his wife and children from both poverty, embarrasement and harrasement Herbert realized the only thing to do was to choose between his family or his partner, and although they were on good terms there was no other choise but to throw him under the bus. This was the best decision although the outcome of the decision was still horrible for the family to endure. The partner managed to get relieved of his charges and thus escaped going to prison. A year has passed since the rumors began and the partner was out for blood. He decided to hit the family where it hurts and harm his family, the one thing he loves most and he did it by kidnapping the family favorite, Branwen. After the ransom was fulfilled Baron Coleridge hoped it was all over, but his partner’s life was ruined because of it so he wasn’t sattisfied by simply kidnapping. At the end of the year Baroness announced she was pregnant, but a few month later Baron was murdered which led her to lose the child and die because of the infection the miscarriage brought her. Fitzherbert knew he would have to do what his father failed to and bring money to the family and bought himself a comission that same year. His brother and sister had to be left alone, and considering he is the eldest son he had to manage the land, so he gave full control to his brother telling him to write him of any problems he might encounter that he cannot deal with himself.
It was the year 1807 and although there were wars still being fought, it was a pretty peaceful era for Askarrn after it’s more important wars that have ended by now and he was confident he wouldn’t be going to too many battles so he knew he would survive long enough to earn enough money for his family. He was doing a splendid job because it only took him 5 years to be promoted to colonel but he was also moved to serve in the war against Bloasau. He was at the heat of the action and feared he might not come back home to take his rightful place as the heir of the family and he also feared he was put in a position of power beyond his abilities and he thought he would be the cause of the death of most his men and possibly the victory of his enemies. He wasn’t that bad of a colonel, however he didn’t notice the traitors in his unit until it was too late. They pretended to be his friends amongst the strangers so they could get him alone one day, and that night, when he was gazing upon a beautiful hillside at night the friends behind him took a knive and backstabbed him but they didn’t realsie to kill somebody from behind you need a big sword because with a dagger it’s hard to hit anything of importance. Lying on the gorund he couldn’t make out much, but he did see glimpses of their faces while they were looking for the key to his chambers to look for some letters or maps that would help the Bloasau garrison win the next fight. While bleeding out in the dark, far away from his unit, he knew nobody would find him in time to help him and his last days would be labeled with literal backstabbing, betrayal, anger and never seeing the faces of his family ever again. By the time some common folk found him lying there, he was no longer able to talk, he would only breathe so heavily it sounded like he was about to choke. The only thing he could muster up was “Help” and “Pain” and “Dan” meaning his brother Daniel and “Bran” because he couldn’t quite say Branwen. He lost conciousness after than and woke up in a charity hospital in a nearby church. He was there for a few weeks before his wound was all healed and he was able to talk and move again (he could before but it was painful both emotionally and physically). During his stay he wasn’t very talkative so he didn’t tell anybody that he was a colonel, but his dissapearance wasn’t invisible. The information he held at his office were used to ambush his army and the only person not present there was him and when his superior found this out he knew he only shared the information used to few people. He traced it back to Fitzherbert and when he heard of his dissapearance he thought of it as approval of his treason thinking he left as to not get acidentally wounded or killed in action as his side wasn’t the one he just helped. A bounty was raised on his head and his picture with a reward in pounds was placed on many buildings in town During his time in the hospital Fitzherbert was slowly falling in love with a woman called Dominique who he only saw a few times, but her beauty made him feel better at times. She paid no attention to him however, until she found out he was a Baron but also had riches from the war. She decided to say yes to his proposal when she saw his bounty and thought if she married him before his death she would probably inherit something, however, a few days after he left the hospital he was caputred by teh Askarrn millitia and was imprisoned for treason to be executed by hanging. However, he wasn’t hung anytime soon considering the prison warden thought he knew some information about the opposittion and often sent his men to “interrogate” Fitzherbert to find out more about Bloasau’s efforts. There was one officer who used Fitzherbert and other prisoners as a place to focus his sadistic and aggressive nature. Every day he was tortured to release even the slightest bit of information, but he knew nothing, so he spent every day in agony being called a liar for telling them the truth and them not believing and an idiot for not name dropping anybody after all that torturing. After a long time they realised nothing would come of this so they decided to just go ahead and execute him. It was almost yule 1814 and the stand where he was to be hanged was all covered with snow. As he stood up there with a sack on his head and every part of his body freezing, Fitzherbert thought this is when and where he would draw his last few heavy breaths. He could not see, but he could hear and feel. He heard the hangman pulling the lever and the rusty sound it made, the flap opening, the rope tightening both around his neck and on the other end, and he heard a strange sound of metal … a knife maybe. But the one thing he didn’t think he would feel that he did feel was the gorund and the grass underneath the flap yet untouched by snow. He did dislocate his shoulder falling like that, but when the sack shielding his eyes was removed, he could see the rope was deliberately cut as he was being hung. Apparently the man looking down on him now with a smile came to stop the execution in the nick of time and where he not to throw his sword at the rope, Fitzherbert would be dead now. Apparently the men who found him after getting stabbed and some patients and people involved in the church backed the idea that he spent his time in the church treating a stab wound in his back, which in turn backed up the story he told his investigators that nobody believed beforehand. However, while Fitzherbert was in prison he used his time wisely, gaining trust from other prisoners, and after enough time gaining their trust he learned a lot about the real traitors and their garrison and a few other information he picked up along the way and he laid all this information into his saviour’s ears. Straight away he unexpectedly visited Dominique and learned that she was no virgin as he caught her in the act. He the found letters in her room which proved she was having affairs before he even went to prison, even after she said she would wait for him. He ended the engagement right then and there. After all this abuse, the garrison in question and a couple of others have lost against the Askarrn army due to Fitzherbert and hiss supervisor sent him home to make sense of his life after all this abuse so that he might not lose his sanity over this. He thought it was a great idea to go home, but after a long time away, the person he thought he would confide in with this and the person who was the only one who could help him has changed so much during her pubecent years that he hardly recognizes her anymore, and he decided to keep everything done to him a secret even thought this might just make him lose his sanity which is something both him and his supervisor want to avoid by all means.
