(This gives just a short rundown of how he arrived where he is today, if you would like to know the actual character, his thoughts, his views, emotions, what have you, then please feel free to interact with him and get to know him ingame.)

Mave was born in Luna to Captain Algor Gerhart, Captain of the knights in Luna, and Lady Elilynol, an elven woman that married Cpt. Gerhart after he found and rescued her when her small village was attacked by trolls.

He grew up in Luna alongside the royal prince Inkari Northwind. They trained together and even fought minor battles together in the war against the Necromancers that was waging at the time. Around the age of 17, before the death of Avaron Northwind, Inkari’s father and King of Luna, the war was beginning to fade and Mave felt it time to go out and visit the elves, the people of his mother.

After spending some time with the elves, he was out one day with a hunting party when they were set upon by a rogue band of drow. Intrigued by this half-elf that fought with such ferocity, they did not kill Mave, but instead captured him and returned to their encampment. For a time after that, he lived with the band of rogue drow, mostly made up of males who had left the Underdark not wishing to live any longer under the rule of the cruel House Matriarchs. Throughout this time, he slowly earned their respect because of his code of honor that he followed still and his increasing knowledge in swordsmanship. At the end of his stay with these drow, they gave him leave to return to his own lands.

Mave made his way back to Luna living by his sword. He had become a swordsman of great repute, being trained by not only his father, but also by the elves and eventually by the drow. He was taught the use of the sword and shield from his father as was knightly tradition, taught the delicate balance of a blade and shown how to use it swiftly and accurately by the elves, and finally trained in the intricacies of sword strikes by the drow, the different areas on the body to strike, for a quick kill, for non-lethal blows and the like.

Upon returning to Luna, Mave found that the King that he had been raised under and had been nearly as close to him as his own father was dead and that Inkari was now the King of Luna. Upon returning, Inkari immediately placed his friend as General of his armies. They lived in a time of peace for a time, but the resources of the kingdom never seemed to recover from the taxing war that had been fought with the Necromancers in the years past. This left the kingdom ill prepared when a gathering of over virtuous paladins overran Luna, believing that the monarchy should no longer rule the people, that they should be governed by themselves. Mave, Inkari, and their order of knights and mages were forced from Luna, the city of their fathers. It was during this over throw of the government that Mave’s father was killed, not wishing to leave the city that he had fought to protect for so long. He was slain on the inner steps of Luna as the paladins swarmed to secure the city. That night Mave slipped back into the city, found his mother at their estate and took her to live with in hiding with the elves that he had befriended on his journey years before.

After being thrown out of Luna, Mave, Inkari, and those that were still loyal to them met with a man named Tarothin Armunn. Intrigued by his offer to join his Dark Order, and seeing a chance to bring vengeance on those that had turned him out of the city that had long been protected by his family for generations, Mave accepted the position he was offered and began making plans to lead his division to retake Luna once again. After a time, he received word that the group of paladins had since left Luna to govern herself and had traveled away to unknown lands. What he was not told was that a powerful mage who rode with the paladins had cast a curse on the beautiful city so that any army attempting to attack or even defend the city in force would be rendered clumsy and slow, their thoughts would be muddled, and the ground under the horse's hooves would be as mud. Such was the case when The Dark Order attempted to take Luna and thus was Mave halted in his quest for vengeance.

After many more battles, conquests and adventures, Mave’s superior, Lord Tarothin, was forced to leave for another realm, taking with him his family, to search for a cure to the amnesia that afflicted his wife Ditto. The Council of Leaders, of which Mave was a part, was left in control of The Dark Order. When hope began to fade that Tarothin would ever return to the realm, Mave was elected by the council to be the new Dark Lord of the Dark Order. Mave now strives to maintain the careful balance of The Dark Order without slipping into chaos. But always in the back of his mind is the beautiful city of Luna, and the vengeance that he wishes on those that cost him his city and his father…
