Lord Alexander Taharr was noble born to Lord Ser Dawson and Lady Annabel Taharr. On his twenty-fifth birthday, his parents were on a trip south to Araburg. They were attacked and killed by bandits. This put their only child, Alexander into the position of House Patriarch. The Taharr elders were found by an elven conclave of hunters and warriors outside of Clove Hill, called the Verdant Leaf. Lord Alexander began using his fortune to hunt for his parent's killers. Eventually the trail went cold, and the young Lord had businesses and a House to run. Alexander grew cold...hiring knights and warlords alike, to train him and even join his House. Members of the Verdant Leaf have sworn loyalty to House Taharr, swearing to stay until Lord Alexander finds the killers and gets his vengeance.

Her personality is as explosive and fiery as her magic. Fire is second nature to her and she has no fear. Lady Anissa Taharr is daughter of a mother related to Alexander's father. As first cousin, her family watched over the Taharr holdings in Araburg city. Her parents were elderly and died of natural causes, leaving their practicing Wizard daughter in charge of a very big business she had no knowledge of. Moving north to Merstat, she has sought refuge and consolidating the family under one roof, adding the Araburg holdings to Alexander's already beefy Merstat holdings. Anissa has stood loyal to her cousin and helped him enact his actions and decisions, and has become quick allies to the Verdant Leaf.

Quiet, but opinionated, Akimyoto is quick to offer his opinion if asked, but otherwise stays silent. His eyes reveal much of his mood, or how he feels on a subject.
Akimyoto or "Aki" is the eldest son of House Kobota from the Jade Isles. His family and the Taharrs have a trading allegiance. Aki has sworn service to House Taharr as a sign of goodwill after the death of Lord Alexander's parents. Aki protects Lord Alexander and watches over the House guards after Feldin.

Feldin Taharr
Dwarven adopted Son of House Taharr
Orphan of Flintrock Citadel, Soldier of House Taharr
5'0'' 160lbs Dwarven male, long brown hair brown eyes.
Level 3 Fighter, Level 2 cleric of Prens
Smiling, jovial and always in a positive mood, Feldin is quick with a joke to disarm but isn't afraid to swing his battleaxe to finish an argument.
The only dwarf within House Taharr, Feldin was found and hired by the manager of the Iron Smithy in Merstat. He was soon sent as messenger back and forth to House Taharr until Annabel Taharr realized the young Dwarf was an orphan. He was legally adopted by House Taharr and became part of the family. He is a loyal family member but is frequently ignored and not listened to, due to being adopted.

Maus Taharr
Enforcer of House Taharr
6'9'' 375lb. Gothmyri Human, shaven head and hazel eyes.
Level 5 Paladin of Prens.
Maus is the silent giant of Taharr. A distant cousin from Olto, Maus arrived on the steps of House Taharr two weeks after Alexander's parents were killed. The lengthy note found with him detailed who he was, his name of Taharr, and that he was sent to protect the young Lord and give Maus some direction in life. Maus is mute, and often is thought of as simple, but he is bright and intelligent. His name was not given except "Maus". Maus takes the position of Enforcer for House Taharr, but is often attached to Lord Alexander, whom he listens to intently. He wields a massive iron candelabra base that had been blessed by the Clerics of his church. He can use a short sword, but prefers the massive bludgeoning club.
Warlord Leo Kahl
Chief Guard of House Taharr
Knight of Crimson Griffon
6'7'' 320lbs, Human Ja'an male of fifty one winters, Gray hair and blue eyes, gray goatee.
Level 7knight
Warlord Leo Kahl is a mean man. Gruff and honest to a fault, but he lacks social graces of a noble or knight. His mean demeanor shows on his scowling aged face.
Leonitus, or Leo, wandered the border mountains of Anistlav's southern border against Gothmyr. Killing monsters and slaying tyrants was his passion, but he seemed to grow bored of the killing for no other reason than "to do good". He came south over the mountains, losing all of his men, and alone stepped into the lands around Merstat. Leo was approached and courted by many of the Knightly orders, but soon realized all of them worked for noble families, undeserving of his tactical knowledge or wouldn't stand for his brutal honesty. He chose a family that seemed less than hungry to absorb random knights and warriors, and stood at the gate of House Taharr for five days. Upon the 5th day, he was invited in and he knelt at the feet of Anissa and Alexander swearing to protect the family until his death. With nothing more than a promise, Leo proved not only his loyalty, but his worth, defending Taharr's holdings and protecting the family.

Level 6 Paladin of Prens
Lord Viyaris Thintovash is a calm, deliberate noble Dark elf. As a Paladin of Prens his demeanor is that of duty and honor. Born to a noble military family in Kings Watch, Viyaris took to the sword and shield as if second nature. He has grown with weapons in hand, and soon joined the Church of Prens. There, he fell in love with another paladin, Enra Dawnsparks. Both of the paladins took to the road, looking to find a Noble House to work for to fulfill their promises to Prens. They formed the Verdant Leaf, and began filling their ranks. They all joined House Taharr after finding the dead bodies of Alexander's parents. At that point, the Verdant Leaf swore to uphold the name of House Taharr until the killers of Alexander's parents were found and justice was served.

Lady Enra comes from a common family out of Ruby Halls. She doesn't forget where she came from, but still holds herself like a proud paladin, above most nobles.

Ser Virro is a bladesinger who has taken the "solemn vow", an elven vow of emotionlessness until a quest or promise has been fulfilled. Virro is known through Elven towns as "the Gray Dirge" as the only time he speaks is when he is dancing and singing in combat. Virro was knighted by Warlord Kahl and has adopted the silent killer as an honorary knight of House Taharr.

He has a blood oath to Viyaris for saving his life after Keaquen's village was overrun by Vorrn years ago. Keaquen seeks to find lost Elven magic to gain more and more power to be able to find those who killed his family. He follows Viyaris without question, and protects the others of the Verdant Leaf.

Working while singing, he gives off the opposing spirits of joyful song and darkened chemical mixing of an alchemist. Vadithas wears a robe of the magi, with gems of red and green sewn into the trim of the sleeves and hem. He walks almost soundlessly, in his slippered feet. Vadithas was found in Kings Watch, making potions and healing balms for nobles, and was called upon to heal a Paladin of Prens. Saving the life of Lord Viyaris, he was hired and promised by Viyaris to be protected and given a home and a purpose. He then joined the Verdant Leaf, and has followed The Leaf ever since.
Jessup Walker Dendatus
Retriever and Advisor to House Taharr
6'1'' 200 lb Ironese Human, Orange hair, green eyes. Clean shaven.
Level 4 Psionicist, Level 2 Mage
Jessup Walker Dendatus is a man who finds his mind and mouth lack a filter that others hone. Jessup is nicknamed "Walker" because the man had a knack of being able to walk into any place his mind was set to. Jessup was born on a farm in North Iron Kingdoms, and ran away when his mental abilities began to surface. He joined a carnival and travelers caravan, and soon found himself in Gothmyr. He worked for a few years to get enough money to find a wizard to teach him the basics of arcane weaving. Jessup wound up in Merstat and was left by the Traveler's Carnival as he overslept. During an altercation in a tavern Jessup was in, he defended the female mage (Lady Anissa Taharr) and used his psionicist to thwart the assault. He followed her and her men back to House Taharr and entered without incident... and has stayed since.
