/TG/heim:Reynold's Relic Requisition Expedition (Marienburg Mercenaries)

Intro

The Reynold family carries with it a history of both greatness and misfortune. Long have the men of the Reynold's name proudly served as marines and captains aboard the various trade vessels of Marienburg, garnering a reputation of able bodied sea men and disciplined soldiers that could be counted upon to maintain order and protect cargo, even to the death. Such a named commanded a high price, and the family Reynold a fairly charmed and successful life. Raised on the stories and riches of his fore bearers, Rhupert Reynold's grandfather, Marcus Reynold, sought to expand his house's name. Possessed with both greed and ambition that could nary be contained, Marcus used the reputation of the Reynold families to secure vast loans to finance the construction of ships for a new trade company, both owned and operated by the Reynold's family. Many within the family protested, they were soldiers first and foremost, not trades or businessmen, nor could the the house ever hope to pay the outrageous debt Marcus had now burdened them with. Marcus, the ever confident and foolish, assured all that this endeavor would carry the house to fortunes and influence far beyond what working for other families could ever bring. Two great ships were constructed, larger and more heavily armed than most navel vessals, manned with the most prestigious and competent men money could by, they were a sight of envy to many. Marcus quickly moved to secure expensive and daring trade agreements that would take the virgin company on a maiden voyage all over the know world, a venture that, if successful, could not only repay all debts leaned upon the family, but also usher them into a fortune beyond any had measured. Marcus sought to command the voyages himself, and on a foggy spring moved set out to cailm the fame and fortunes he so desperately sought. It was a disaster, the ships were to large and lacked proper maneuverability. To hastily built and foolishly never tested before today, the ships were lumbering, clumsy beasts. Once more, these beasts were carrying far to much stores of blackpowder. Not more than perhaps a dozen miles out from berth, the ships collided and managed to catch fire. Few survived from both the ships, and Marcus was not among them. The survivors told conflicting stories, some of sabotage, freak accidents, curses, lack of vision in the fog. Other's told a far more popular tale, one of at the time, family patron Marcus Reynolds, had purposely built two faulty ships and pocketed the rest of the loans to spend on excess. That Marcus hadn't died, but was very much in hiding with a fortune within his mitts. This was a rumor and event that would lead to the downfall of house Reynold. No trademaster would hire soldiers from a house known for deception and theft. Debtors took what little the house could offer as repayment. A name built upon centuries of service was quickly destroyed with a year's time, and by a single man's vision. Never again was the Reynold's name ever given command of a single ship. Never again was the Reynold's named afforded the respect it deserved. What little work the men of house could gain were usually aboard illict and dangerous voyages. One such venture to Norcisca, calimed the life of Darius Reynold, Rhupert's father.

Rhupert Reynold has always lived in the shadow of his predecessors. Both casted long shadows, good and i'll. All of his life he still plied the trade his name was known for. A man of stern, but fair conviction, he followed orders to the letter and was known for being both an excellent shot and capable with a sword. Rhupert was known for being a man you could trust and depend on, much like the Reynold's of old, before the folly of his grandfather and the tarnishing of his name. His son, Sebastion, was shaping up to a fine man as well, now 17, he often worked beside his father, serving as a merchant marine. After the passing of Rhupert's wife, both father and son were content to drown their sorrows in the sea they worked upon.

When the meteor stuck Mordheim, Rhupert and Sebastion had both remarked how frenzied and maddened everyone had become. All walks of life sought to better their fortunes by venturing into the now ruins of the city. Father, nor son, would have never guess that their fates would be forever tied to the city as well."

Heroes

Captain Rhupert Reynold

What once stood a proud man now stands merely a broken shell of one. A former merchant marine pressed into service on a fool's errand, Cpt. Reynolds mind has finally given into despair. While his fighting capabilities haven't diminished, he is now prone to bouts of inaction, his mind buried under the weight of knowing that he may very well have lead his son and his men to very real, brutal end. All for the sake of pride and the selfish desire to better his families name and standing. Wracked with guilt and yet unable to quit, Rhupert presses onward, desperate to salvage this venture and guide his men to riches or ruin.
