Sir Agravain de Galis, Knight of the Rose

As a mere young lad, Agravain seemed destined to follow his fathers footsteps and be a solamnic knight. While other boys were at school, or playing around, he was deeply entrenched in learning fighting skills, studying the code and measure, and jousting. At an early age, he quickly realized that if he continued his training at home, he would receive unfair advantages. His father, Lamoracke, was the High Justice of Solamnia, certainly the eldest and only son of such a great warrior would have an easy time entering the knighthood, Agravain wanted to earn it on his own.
    Therefore at an early age, he decided to leave his comfortable homeland of Galis, and make a name for himself in the outside world. Always keeping his identity secret, Agravain made associations with many fighting organizations in the lands of Krynn, some of dubious repute. While traveling to Xak Tsaroth one day, he met up and befriended some members of Clan Shriner. Having heard tales of their evil throughout the lands, he was skeptical of traveling with them, but he figured this would be an invaluable experience to learn how they fight and conduct themselves in battle. So this process went on for many years, he grouped with all the powerful clans of Ansalon in anonymity quickly absorbing their skills and methods of battle. Years later he returned to his homelands to once again see his dear father.
    Things were not well with Lamoracke. By this time, he had retired from High Justice and gave his seat to one of his former squires Justinian who was now a Knight of the Rose. The years had not been kind to his father. Though highly respected and liked by his peers and the citizens of Krynn, he was unhappy and alone. Unlike most of the elder knights, he never married, his only was the product of a brief love affair which ended sadly with the young maidens death. Thus he never had other children. Seeing his son return lifted his spirits but 'Lam' was growing tired of the world and his place in it. He took Agravain to his side one day, told him how proud he was of his future knight to be son, and that he should never take life for granted like he did, never let his position in the knighthood stop you from finding happiness and love.
    They reminisced and sparred for a few days, then Lam rode off and was never seen again. Agravain, heart-broken of his fathers disappearance applied for knighthood, and passed the 4 quests of knighthood faster than any knight in history. His Crown quest was to solve the mystery of the Wings of Sorrow, his Sword quest was to lead an army of comrades into Graknar and vanquish Grap, and his Rose quest was to single-handedly retrieve a white key from the forests of Silvanesti, a task which was certainly not easy.
    He was later asked to become the Grand Master of Solamnia, but Agravain remembered what the responsibilities of leadership had done to his father, and he wished to not do so himself. He made the choice to never take too much time for his outside enjoyments, and yet he has many duties in the knighthood, he daily vows to do less with those, and find his true pursuit, love.
