Min Alderswain (a.k.a. Aequus)
A cleric played by Wil
Aequus’ Backstory
Min Alderswain was born on
Jadur to Lord Spurious Alderswain and Lady Grace Alderswain.
His childhood was one of mixed extrememes: His father an ill tempered man set upon with random fits of rage. During these bouts he would lose control throwing and breaking things, beating servants, and occasionally his wife and child. The most random incidents would set him off. His mother was the calm in the storm of his father wraith. Teaching, nurturing, and protecting him as he grew up. Min often wondered who no one ever stood up to the brutality of his father, people always just explaining it away as he’s Lord and has the right by birth to do as he wills.
His life truly began anew when he was in his tenth year. During evening meal his mother accidently knocked over his father’s wine glass. In a fit of rage he grabbed the bottle of wine off the table and beat her to death with it. All of this was watched by Min as he cowered under the table. Servants came removed the body and cleaned up the bloody mess. To his horror, nothing was done to his father for his gruesome actions. The heartless man showing no remorse for his actions.
Knowing he could no longer stay around his father he stole away on the next freighter leaving
Jadur. Weeks passed and the ship arrived in
Etolar where he was befriended by
Bjarke, a monk of Njord, as he wandered the streets homeless. He began learning of these teachings, and convinced of the wrongness of entitlement he turned away from his heritage, including his name. He is now called Aequus. Over the next eight years his devotion, skills, and vision of all beings being equal grows. Now at eighteen he set out on a mission to protect those assigned lesser status by a corrupt, and self serving system.
