'''Minartyr Cleareyes'''

Minartyr's family are huscarls, minor nobility, to Earl Andrin of Kenstone island. The Royal Coast Guard of the Hendriki is a levy of sorts upon a subset of noble houses and their vassals. Each Earl or Sherrif provides the means for one or more ships to be built and maintained and their vassals in turn provide crew and fighting men. This is both an honour and a duty, passed down through generations.

Minartyr was raised into that duty and took it seriously, rising to the rank of marine-signaller. As such he commanded men in battle as well as taking responibility for communications and the manouevres of the ship, Swift Justice, within the fleet. Years of service came to an end when Minartyr was drummed out of the service for botching a close shore drill that left the Swift Justice aground with a cracked hull. Ordinarily a failure of this magnitude would have seen Minartyr executed. However Minartyr's father, Ingold, intervened with a personal plea on behalf of his second son. Earl Andrin, in light of the family's long service and his personal friendship with Ingold, commuted the sentence to exile from Hendriki lands. 

His elder brother, Oranvil, took his wife, Druva, and his two children, Huma (F/5) and Bren (M/3), into his household at his brother's request rather than see them follow Minartyr into exile. 

Since then Minartyr has drifted, working as both ship's crew (he is, in fact, a fine officer) and, when nothing else is available, as a sellsword. These days he is more adrift than aground.
