Pierre Centsol (Né "Olivoix")

Marshall of Capetia, Count of Savoy | Pierre Centsol (Né "Olivoix") (a.k.a. "L'Épée Chanceuse")

Pierre Olivoix was descended from a Renewal era hero by the name of Yves Olivoix. Obsessed with his legendary ancestor, Pierre spent most of his life tracing the rumours and folklore related to Yves and in the process carved out his own heroic legacy. Pierre rose through the ranks of French nobility to become Marshall of Capetia. It was Pierre who quelled the German warlords when they threatened to usurp the frontier duchies of Capetia, and it was Pierre who assembled the Capetian Enfants de la Guerre when Prince Kalix invaded Daneland and Frisia.
Known for wielding a distinctive long sword with a pommel forged in a figure "7," Olivoix was often called the "épée chanceuse" or "lucky sword" and rightly feared for his matchless swordsmanship.

Personal history

Little is known about Pierre Olivoix's early years. He came from a peasant family and there are no records about his birth or parentage. It is known that in his teen years he left Capetia and began travelling the world though his precise whereabouts during this time of travel are unknown. Some speculate that he spent time studying swordplay with the northern masters. Others believe he traversed the Atlantic Ocean and explored the western continent.
When Pierre returned to Europe he joined a comitatus legion under the royal banner of Capetia and began a career of professional soldiering. At the time of joining his first comitatus he was twenty two years old. Within three years he had attained the rank of captain and led his own comitatus in mercenary wars with the Latian city-states. In this and other conflicts to come he repeatedly outstripped the valour of the aristocratic class of warrior chevaliers and earned their respect and resentment in equal measure. In spite of his low-born status, by the age of thirty four Pierre was elevated to assume control of the French armies as Marshall of Capetia. In order to secure this rank, Pierre had to forsake his peasant name and adopt the moniker of a noble house. To this end he took the family name "Centsol" in honour of his lord and mentor, Jerome Centsol, la Compte de la Marche.
After a dazzling military career that witnessed the ascendancy of Capetian power of arms, Pierre met an ignoble end at The Battle of Somerset where his own staff officers refused to relay his precise attack plans to the Capetian banners. The miscommunication led to the unwitting encirclement of Pierre's own company of cavalry companions and resulted in Pierre's untimely death.
