Vicho Delacroix

Vicho was born in to the minor noble family of House Delacroix in the Kingdom of Chalois, the second son of Baron Guillaume and his wife Celine. Like many lesser nobles, Vicho was sent to be a page to a higher born knight as a child, becoming his squire in his teenage years. In Vicho's case, the Knight was Sir Christophe LeBlanc, the son of a powerful Duke. After his 21st birthday, having proved himself in battle, Vicho was knighted and remained in the employ of House LeBlanc.

Vicho's skill in battle and commanding troops did not go unnoticed by the LeBlancs, who promoted Vicho to Christophe's second when Vicho was 27. During this time, Christophe was accused of bedding the daughter of a Duke, who demanded a duel. Shortly before the duel, Christophe was stricken by fever and unable to fight, leaving Vicho to take his place. Though the duel was only to first blood, Vicho unintentionally killed the Duke, who's second then attacked Vicho, leading Vicho to kill him also. The Duke's family accused Vicho of murdering the two men and quickly rallied a mob to bring him to justice. With the help of his family and the LeBlancs, Vicho was able to flee Chalois, becoming a Knight-Errant.

Vicho travelled across the provinces of Narador, trying to help out citizens in need to regain his lost honour. It wasn't long until the money Vicho had saved was gone and he was forced to demand payment for his deeds. This, however, isolated many of the people who were in need who had little or no material possessions. This forced Vicho to begin bounty hunting; tracking down wanted bandits across the continent and bringing them to justice.

After doing this for a number of years, at the age of 29, Vicho decided to undertake a pilgrimage to Valaeron, hoping that witnessing the humble lives of the Church priests and knights would motivate him. Along the way, Vicho met Hamish Johns, a caravanner and trader from Cendall. Johns hired Vicho to guard his caravan in return for food and coin, promising Vicho they would eventually head to Valaeron. Now, Vicho's journey to Valaeron is almost complete, but what twists will the holy province have on Vicho's fate?
