Hello fellow forum-ers. I present to you my little bit of Tilea in the form of the merchant, Claudio Violi, along with his house retainers.
Of course to begin I only have a few representatives of House Violi painted and so I will add bits and pieces over the coming days and weeks. I am not sure where it will go, perhaps even an army in the long term. Initially this is for Mordheim-esque skirmishes.
But for now, let us descend upon fair Verezzo, where we set our scene. And what a dark scene it is, for our merchant has just escaped within an inch of his life and rides hard for the towering gates of the city with but a handful of those still loyal. But how long can their loyalty be relied upon? Or rather, how long can it be bought, for our merchants troubles are most certainly stemmed from his purse. Claudio Violi, son of Guiseppe Violi, a merchant whose influence in the most serene republic of Verezzo was only matched by his boundless wealth.
Francesco de Sanctis, a swordsman unmatched in all of Verezzo. Famed duelist, he once cut the beard of Hanz Hinklebron, a noble of Ostermark, in two after the latter decalred him a dandy and a fop. Appearances can, however, be decieving, as Francesco is eqully adept with the greatsword. One must, afterall, learn to perfect the art of many blades in the pay of such a high profile master as Claudio Violi.
Claudio Violi and Franceso de Sanctis, the first of the retinue.
