History/bio: Seth and his family lived on the outskirts of Sapphire city, in one of the less protected areas. Up until the age of 10 they lived a relatively quiet life as farmers, the nearest other family being at least half a days walk away. Seth learned how to manage and maintain a garden thanks to his parents guidance. Though during the spring of his tenth cycle brigands started to harrass them for food. At first it wasn't bad, they weren't asking for much, but soon their numbers began to increase and wanted more food. By the same next year their numbers had doubled and were requesting the entire harvest to be given to them or else. Knowing what that or else would be Seth's father quickly sent him and his mother to the city to try and get help before harvest time came. The two quietly made it off the farm during one night but it was a week long trip to the city even with a horse.
After the two make it to the city they pleaded for someone to help them. Having their cries fall on deaf ears they began to lose hope, when suddenly a ray of light shined down on them. Some of the guards banded together to see about this brigand group growing. It was only a handful of men, 5 or 6 at the most. They were ordered by their superiors to check out the problem and assess if it could be a bigger problem in the future.
Seth's mother fell ill during her time in the city, she would not be able to make the journey back to their home. After regretfully leaving his mother behind seth and the guardsmen made their way back to the farm. Along the journey Seth's curiosity would get the better of him as he watched them train. The chime of swords clashing together, the heavy spirited yells of battle, even if it wasn't real combat he enjoyed watching. Halfway through he began to try and take parts in their workouts to test his strength, he was being serious as the guardsmen just laughed it off.
Arriving at the farm would be a turning point in his life. The once green grass and luscious fields of wheat, now covered in ash and burns. His home he had lived burned to the ground, he quickly ran over and jumped around some of the rumble only to see the charred corpse of what was once his father. Mortified at the scene seth broke down, falling to his knees he was paralyzed and couldnt move. One of the guards went to see what happened to him only to be disgusted by the state the body was in. He quickly dragged seth away and put him on the wagon. They talked for a little while then spread out and seached all around. Upon their return they debated a little longer before boarding the wagon. Before Seth had realised it they had already been on the road for a few hours.
Arriving at the city he had to do the horrible deed of informing his mother of what had happened. When he went to where she was staying they told the boy they kicked her out when she ran out of money. Shocked seth was worried and quickly began to search for his mother. He looked everywhere he could think of only to find her in a church. The two were reunited for the time being, she was happy to see Seth once more only to be destroyed by the news of what happened. Her illness had only gotten worse while he was away. While the church was kind enough to offer the sick woman a bed, Seth had to do whatever he could to make money for food and medicine. He lived this fleeting happiness until he was the age of 17 when his mother passed.
Lying about his age by one year he joined the guards for many reasons, but only one in his mind. He wants revenge, those brigands who murdered his father. He used this to motivate himself through years of training and petty tasks. As he rose in rank and elder officer took notice of him, it was one of the men who had went with the boy to the farm. The two would meet every so often and become friends, this leading to a fruitful realtionship for them both. Seth would participate in his missions to help, and he promised a promotion.
Only that promotion didn't come until he turned 28, the officer recommended Seth for a royal guard position. After much deliberation Seth was granted the position. He still learning his way around everywhere, but he is enjoying his new lifestyle, and always keeping one ear open if he hears news of bandit attacks.
