Personal history
Reynard Surtova was the second son of a minor neutral noble family.
His younger years were peaceful and pleasant, and he grew up with very few worries and was betrothed to a wonderful woman from another minor noble house, Nalita Robinson.
However, this was not to last. His father was manipulated and tricked into gambling the family fortune and lands. When the rigged bet led to the complete loss of the family's holdings Reynard’s father took his own life in shame.
His older brother then challenges the perpetrators of this scheme to a duel to regain what was lost but was grievously injured and is believed to have died from his wounds.
Reynard knew that as the acquisition was of questionable legality, he could to the courts in attempt to undo the damage, but he wasn't the only party to know this.
After an attempt on his life Reynard faked his death and fled
Changing his name to Grey he travelled as a vagrant and a vagabond.
After many years an attempted robbery went wrong and to avoid execution Reynard joined the army of the Hadovean Empire during their assault on Pont.
Poorly equipped and essentially cannon fodder he was wounded and left for dead.
When the defenders overran the area, he was sheltered in Reynard ditched his Kingdom uniform and donned the clothes of a fallen Empire soldier. Feigning unconsciousness, he was taken back to the medics tent he was treated and brought back to health.
While in the hospital fate threw a twist his way. Being patched up for a minor wound was Major "Two Guns" Tombs who was the very man who shot Reynard down, meaning he was unbelievably lucky to only be seriously wounded.
However, Tombs did not turn Reynard in choosing instead to offer him a place in Red Company for the potential he showed during the battle.
Reynard did not go to the Red Keep alone either. As he and Tombs were leaving the medic tent, he saw someone he never thought he would see again, his betrothed Lady Nalita Robinson.
When he fled for his life Reynard could not bear to subject his love to the life of a fugitive, so he left her behind.
Her own path led her to the medical corps of the Empire and so they were reunited and finally married shortly after in the Red Keep's sacred grove by Major Tombs himself and they took on the names Reynard and Vixen Grey.
