History: Kallenh went to the Barracks with Addrun Vadak and the two became fast friends, though Kallenh was years younger. Inderyn graduated from the Barracks with the highest honors that could be given. As a result of Addrun's influence with his father, Kallenh was appointed Captain of the Citadel, who guards the Steward and his fmaily. Five years after he had been given that position, the Steward went missing. Kallenh blamed himself, even though there was nothing he could have done, and would have resigned if Addrun hadn't needed him. The new Steward was devastated by the loss of his father and he grew harder and crueler as the years passed. Kallenh did the best he could to counter his friend's despair, but nothing he did helped. He had to satisfy himself with protecting Addrun's body while the Steward's soul slowly died. The only bright spot was teaching Cerraent Vadak, the Steward's youngest son, swordsmanship.

Short History: Ciel wanted to be part of Diridan's army since he was a small boy. As soon as he turned sixteen, he joined the army and quickly proved himself to be a true leader. Even those who were older than him listened to what Ciel said. But his superiors were looking for someone of noble blood or someone who could pay well. Ciel was a broke peasent, unable to afford bribes. Still, he eventually mamnaged to get promoted once, then again. Almost twenty years after he had joined the army, Ciel became a lieutenant. His work caught the eye of Saryn, the eldest son of the steward. He asked Ciel to be a part of his guard and Ciel, honored by the request, accepted. However, the first mission Saryn sent him on did not go well. He was supposed to gather 'donations' from the already impovrished peasents to give to the rich prince. Ciel refused and Saryn had him demoted to head of the prison, where Ciel has remained for the past two years.

Etinad graduated with honors at the age of twenty-two and was assigned to guard the Steward's new-born son, Saryn. Three years later, the Steward had another son who was also given into the soldier's care. Etinad grew fond of both his young charges, for it was only later in life that Saryn became cruel. Seven years later, when Saryn was ten and Cerraent was seven, Etinad was reassigned. The Steward said that his sons no longer needed a "nanny" and made two younger soldiers guard his children.

Short History: Aleir wandered into Drevan out of the desert, it was assumed his family was lost in the swirling sands. Aleir either would not our could not speak, but he watched everything with his sharp eyes. Addrun Vadak, for unknown reasons, took the boy under his wing as a ward. He got some of the best scholars in Diridan to try to teach him how to talk and assigned the army's swordmaster to teach Aleir the art of warfare. However, Aleir seemed to take no interest in his lessons, instead spending sometimes days wandering in the wilds. After one such journey, Addrun lost his temper with the silent boy and began screaming at him. Aleir merely watched him rant, then, when the Steward finally ran out of things to say, he spoke for the first time. In clear Diridian, he apologized for causing the Steward so much trouble, then turned and walked out of the room. Addrun renewed his efforts to teach Aleir after that episode, but he did not speak again. Finally, Addrun tired of Aleir and sent him to be part of the prison guard, where he would have no chance to wander away.
