The early days;

Juri was born just south of Yew to Miriam and Ratliff Ceare. As a child life was hard, for he was halfelven and not as the other children. His mother Miriam was an Elvin woman who worked very hard at home as a farmer. Ratliff also tended to the farm but his focus was as a smith. Why, his wears were some of the finest in the land. Some say that even the great Lord British had adorned a suit made by Ratliff. When Juri was very young his father was killed they say, by a pack of orcs while traveling home from selling a load of fruit at the market. He was stabbed and dragged to the woods, he was never seen again.

Life for him was hard after that. As soon a he could drag a rake or pick some fruit he was always working. Shortly after the passing of his father it was discovered that his father had an affair and had another child in the realm. Miriam was crushed to hear the news, but she hid it well for some time. She thought that he planned his death to be with this other woman, so she decided to seek out this woman. She soon received information and journey there. At first it was quite a shock, but the families also realized they had something in common and often visited on another. Juri was happy he had a brother, even if just half brother.

When Juri was fourteen, his mother became very sick and was unable to fight the illness. She died shortly there after. Juri was alone, and the only family he knew was his half brother Vlad Mannich[Vmann].He stay with them for a short time he was getting impatient and wanted to be a warrior. Lad’s mother knew a man that was a warrior, and maybe Juri could seek him. So off he was to Minoc. There he met a man Sir Dallen. At this time he decided, this was his chance to start a new life, put his memories behind him. He introduced himself, as Black Sabbath. Sir Dallen owned a couple establishments in town and Black did a lot of work there. In return Sir Dallen taught Black the skills of a swordsman.

They became good friends. Black did his odd jobs that soon became full time work, and Sir Dallen taught him the sword and soon the ways of the Paladin. Things went well for some time with just minor bumps in the path. Black learned a lot and became something he never thought in his wildest dreams, and followed the paths of virtue to the tee. When he was twenty He received word that Sir Dallen had fallen to a skeletal dragon in battle. Sir Dallen had told Black of a stash, in the event something ever happened. Black grabbed the check and decides to head to Trinsic.

The middle years;

Black now just is entering adulthood as 21 year old half-elf looking for adventure. And after many failed attempts to better himself much, decides to seek out the possibility of joining a guild. Something specific to his talents. One day while clearing out his bank box, he saw an old acquaintance he had not seen in some time. A man named Rupert Avery. He owned a trading company Black had worked for a little in his travels thru Minoc. Black nodded and the two had some conversations about Rupert’s expanding to a shop near the Brit crossroads and possibly the new land of Malas. He told Black he may be looking for someone to run the Malas shop, should he be needing work. Black explained how he was an adventurer now, and followed the ways of Paladinhood. Although his training was a bit slow as of late he sought a guild to join. Rupert told him of a guild, The Knights of Sosaria.

Black had made contact with Lord Wolf of the Knights of Sosaria and was accepted into there guild as a squire. He met a lot of great mates there. A lot of them professed in the same paladin studies. This made his training somewhat easier. They had regular activities and hunts to fulfill his weapon skills quickly. The base of the guild began to change some and some members traveled on and Wolf had retired. Lord Breti was very busy in his studies and was mostly involved behind the scenes of the KOS. Sir Robert and Lady Arcana were true leaders at that time. Soon after the wedding of Sir Robert and Lady Arcana the guild really began to loose its hold in the community. Lady Arcana had left the realm and spoke of the land called Morrowind upon her return. Robert and Arcana had grown apart and she had gone to form the Order of the Silver Leaf. The KOS teetered on collapse. Things were not going well and more bad news followed. Black’s brother Vlad was cursed and needed a magic elixir to live. The quest for that elixir brought on the return of Lady Arcana, as the KOS look to rebuild their proud heritage again.
