− | + | One should begin with a discussion of Sir Nestor's uncle, Margraf Otto Kiril Matochek. Margraf Otto was a member of a secret society. When he discovered that it was an order allied with the Darkness, he attempted to aim its unholy fury at his enemies, particularly the Imperials who held land he believed belong to his family. It is unclear exactly how much was known by other family members, but many plead for mercy, claiming Margraf Otto displayed little interest in betraying Bauhas. Such claims, aired in open court, fell on deaf ears and ruined the reputations of at least two of the people making the claim. | |

− | + | In the wake of the scandal, House Matochek had two intertwined goals: reward and protect Sir Nestor on the one hand, and reestablish order as quickly as possible. Several decisions were made that served both these ends. First, Sir Nestor was sent on a pilgrimage. Beyond whatever benefits this had psychologically and spiritually, removing Sir Nestor from Matochekland for two years facilitated efforts to re-establish stability. He was further encouraged to become career military, but not associated with the Order of the Bison. Rather, he was sent into the Mecha Korps, and his induction into the Orders of the Pauldron and the Fiery Sword. After he began active service, Sir Nestor was recruited by the Order of Oxia Palus, as the Ministers of Fear thought he would be a useful asset. | |

− | + | Sir Nestor’s relationship with authority is grounded in a cycle of blind faith and indignant disappointment, and is consequently a source of inner conflict. He is defined by a constant search for a pure cause or leader to support, and a constant suspicion he has only found an imposter. | |
− | + | Due to both his upbringing and the Margraf Otto incident, Sir Nestor has turned directness into an artform. While not completely without guile, Sir Nestor excels at embracing inevitability. His plans will be successful, his enemies will be crushed, and to deny otherwise is to deny the sun rises and falls. | |
− | + | The fact that he has chosen the name of a trickster god of magic appears to be out of character, until one notes Volos is also associated with the wilderness, herding, oaths, and opposing the sky god Perun. One Minister of Fear was concerned that Sir Nestor's interest in Pre-Brotherhood polytheism bordered on a heretical fascination, but this conclusion has less to do with factual evidence than with the Minister in question being from House Luther (this final sentence is currently under review by the Minister of Fear's Office of Evaluation). | |
