Personal history
Edwyrd Jonas Renfric was born on the 20th of Bressundar 745 Post Division to a family on the outskirts of Isayth in the province of Myrto. The Renfrics were on the poorer side but worked in service of the Crown in return for food. Jon, as he would later prefer to be called, was enrolled in the Isayth General Educational Institute as a young lad. There he was bullied for being a Half-elf, his father had given up his status as an aristocrat to be with Rikke, Jons mother. This was highly unusual for people of elven descent.
When Jon became old enough his grandparents, who were on the lower end of the aristocracy had him enrolled in the school. Rikke had pleaded with Jons grandmother for her patronage. She obliged and enrolled Jonas in The IGEI to start Jons development.
Jonas proved himself to be an exceptional student and was permitted extracurricular activities. He took up sword arts, debating and alchemy. After his graduation at age 12, he started a Mastership at an alchemy shop where he learned the art of making powerful potions and potent poisons. At 17 he pleaded to his grandmother to send him to Iropolis for further development. She conceded and gave him a letter of recommendation to enrol in the University of Eraseth.
At Eraseth Jonas, now aged 18, grew to be a valuable member of society, joining the organisation known as the Anakrisi to keep an eye on his fellow students and professors. His inexplicable talent of hiding in plain sight was appreciated by several operatives of the Anakrisi. This culminated in a careful life of historical research, diplomatic moves, wild parties with socialites and many other things that would mould him into the man that he is today. After he discovered that he was bisexual he was forced to take relations with people he didn't want to as part of his spy work, This deterred him from feeling free in his sexuality and made him an important figure in the fight for equal rights for LGBT+ individuals. He tried having relations with a male Drow at 21 but this person turned out to be an associate of the Therosian secret service.
At 23 he graduated from Historical and Political Studies, Advanced Alchemy and Tactical Combat Studies from the University of Eraseth. Upon recommendation of his superior officer and initial scout for the Anakrisi Jonas chose to become an operative doing espionage and diplomatic work in Vildrun, Trodworth and Muriax. When Jon was 24 Emperor Aramis I died (aged 156), being succeeded by his son Moradan. Not focussing on leading a very much quiet life, Jon became a Losarian diplomat in Avonford at the age of 30.
740 marries a Greadorian Elf from Arnfell.
He holds this position for 10 years when in 785 he is called back to Iropolis at the behest of Emperor Moradan. Jon is asked to become Prime counsellor to the crown. The overly ambitious Renfric agrees to hold the position and be in charge of the tutoring of the then 17-year-old heir Aramis II. Jon would prepare Aramis for the throne.
On the 15th day of Thunsheer 801 PD Moradan is found dead in his chambers aged 151. Aramis Tissareth II is crowned Emperor of Losaria, King of Myrto at age 33. He named Edwyrd Jon Renfric Prime counsellor of the Crown.
12 years later we are in present-day 28th of Thunsheer 813, 2 days after Aluak the Baron of the blaze was released from his prison in the volcano of Eros.

They hold The Jewel of The Night but can't keep their riches at home alive." -concerning the empires stance on colonies
