Coat of Arms: A Rising Red Phoenix on a Field of White.
House Words: Nothing is Written.
Thalion (also known as Michael) is the son of the awnshegh Medusa, or so he believed for most of his life. As legend has it, Medusa made a pact with the awnshegh Ruobhe Manslayer, and promised him her first son, in exchange for helping her conquer the realm of Tuornen.
The arch-mage Felonius, foreseeing this boy had the potential to re-unite the Empire of Aduria, retrieved the infant from Ruobhe's castle, and placed him with a family of farmers in nearby Alamie. He named the boy Connen. He then transferred his bloodline into Thalion (an orphan) and placed Thalion in the care of the old paladin Regall. In this way, he thought he could keep Connen safe (though he placed Thalion in great danger).
Eventually, Thalion learned the truth, and faced and killed the Medusa. He then gave his bloodline back to Connen, who decided to remain a farmer. Felonius, to make amends, donated his bloodline to Thalion.
He married a woman called Arwen Loshie (daughter of the mercenary Garrison), and they had two children, Michael and Nathanael.
Long life - Thanks to his bloodline, Thalion only ages one year every five, though an encounter with a ghost aged him unnaturally. In the year 670, he's more than a century old, but he looks in his early fifties.
Dawn of the Empire - Heir to the Duchy of Tuornen, Thalion fought to reclaim his seat of power, and even made an attempt at becoming the Emperor of a united Anuire. In the end he decided to support Agelmore's rise to the throne, and became one of his closest friends. He also settled the score with his (presumed) mother, the awnshegh Medusa.
Rise of the Wolf - Heavily involved in the politics of the Empire of Anuire, Thalion pushes Hrothwulf and his companions to unite the Giantdowns, and forges an alliance between the Empire and this new kingdom. He also introduced his son Michael to the White Lotus Guild, and to the secret organization known as the Enlightened.
Eternal Winter - He inspires Hrotwulf's son, Sigurd, to unite all the Rjuven kingdom in one Empire. With the death of Emperor Agelmore, he's imprisoned by the new emperor, Darien, accused of high treason. He's believed to have died while in captivity.
Against the Shadow - Thalion returns to Cerilia after a long period hiding in a far away and mysterious land. He travels with the scions of powerful bloodlines, and counsels Amani, the daughter of Queen Rowena of Jentilak, when she displays the birthmark of the house of Roele.
