Fiontann Almaran

Description
Fiontann Almaran is the younger brother of Louhsay Almaran and an Arcanist in service with the Almara Arcanium who acts as their primary troubleshooter and master-at-arms.

Armor
Fiontann wears a variety of clothing and armor depending on the exact circumstances he is in. Most in the colors of the Almara Arcanium of Red, black, and copper.

Arms
Fiontann typically uses a variety of weapons and magic depending on the situation, being skilled with both one-handed sword, shield, and the katana, as well as different offensive magics channels both naturally and via focus. Of those weapons, the most noteworthy is the katana he bears, an enchanted war katana made of an unusually dark, nigh indestructible metal named Lineage that he inherited from his father.

History
Born the youngest child of three, Fiontann was the odd one out of the family in that he took much more to physical activity and martial studies than the purer magical talents of his older twin siblings. Despite that, he still developed sorcery at the age of five as is typical for those of the Almaran bloodline and trained extensively in its mastery.

He grew up mostly in the mystical elven realm of Rian of his home plane, though some of his later years and training were with his father in the Empire of Varana as that land rebuilt after cataclysmic war. In this time, he was one of the first people to undergo the new Arcanist training of the Almara Arcanium and earning the title Arcanist along with his elder siblings. Afterwards he was selected by his father to accompany his sister in founding an annex of the Arcanium on a new world when he was contacted by the Black Roses, and tasked with handling security, troubleshooting whatever issues came up, and some basic introductory teaching, especially of the meditative sword forms that are a hallmark of Almaran Sorcery.

Skills
Fiontann is well practiced with both blade and spell, with little preference for either, willing to switch to whichever is most effective in a given moment. He has studied magic, though not as extensively as his elder sister or dedicated mages, and while well versed in his homeland's lore and history, he's paid little attention to that of other lands. That said he still has room to grow in both areas, not being a true master of either spellcraft or swordplay, but a reasonable journeyman of both.

Personality
Fiontann tries to be friendly and congenial but is irreverent especially in the face of what he sees as unearned pride or arrogant lectures by those that think they are betters. He also tends towards impulsive in the moment decision making rather than careful consideration, which often leads him too simply say what is on his mind rather than holding back. That said, he is driven to protect and held others wherever he can, and considers it his responsibility to ensure dark magics are reigned in and the people protected from such predation.
