Segimer Kolstein of That Ilk

Early Life
Born to the Governor turned Duke of Kolstein, Herrman Kolstein, Segimer enjoyed a privileged upbrining in the court of Kolstein. As heir-apparent to the Duchy Segimer was tutored extensively throughout his childhood receiving an early introduction to court politics and procedure. He was introduced to the ways of war as soon as he was old enough to wield a training sword. Segimer's father Herrman was absent during the majority of his childhood, as is the case with many busy noble families. The impact of this on Segimer is not fully known however his reputedly rocky relationship with his own son may be a reflection of this. At the ripe age of 20 Segimer was sent away to a foreign continent and served within a foreign Knight order which bore the colours of white, red and gold.

Return to the Empire
Upon the collapse of the aforementioned Knight order Segimer returned home. When he arrived, once again in Kolstein, he ventured to Kolstein Castle to visit his father. He brought news of his exploits in faraway lands which impressed his aging father who affirmed him as heir to the Duchy soon after. He spent but a few months back in Kolstein, most of this time being dedicated to forging alliances with the major families of Kolstein and proving himself to the nobility and commonfolk of the province.
