Née Maksamyllyan Wulfram von Schleuter,
Maks, as he is affectionately known by the troops, is the Major, the highest ranking officer of
the Kozaky. His story follows the fortunes of war in these tumultuous times, first as one of
Colonel Walter Buttler's Dragoons
then later as a Kozak.
Wulfram von Schleuter, from the less than idyllic life in the Dragoons,
My
name is Andamo. I am from Ireland.
I killed
the first time at 9. I joined the Dragoons at 12 and
stayed with them through
the whole of the war. Then I met a Turkish lord who owned a
lovely
dancer and
bought her so I could make her my wife. I then was recruited by a Pole
named
Anjay
who allowed me to protect him and fight for his house. Then my old
leader
Maks was leading a
troop of kozaks against the Polish forces, I joined him and
together we and the kozaks defeated
the Poles. I was made sotnyk, captain, and
given a regiment to train and lead.
Leslyanna was a slave in the household of a Turkish lord. She was purchased for a wife by Andamo
the Kozak, who values her more than he values his horse, the most prized possesion among the Kozaki.
Father John, as he is known to the Kozaky, was born in Ireland. Sent at an early age to Jesuit school
for displaying certain 'sinful' behavior, he learned at an early age the seductions of the flesh. Follow his
journey as he searches for redemption in the ways of the Khlysti, whose beliefs encompass the idea that
one cannot know salvation until one has known sin.
I
am known as Casca. I was born in Italy
but after
service to the prince I sold my sword in
for a
while. I
was then recruited to be a
knight of the holy order by the church.
While
on a mission
to consult with the Eastern Leaders about stemming the tide of
Turkish expansion, I was captured
by the Turks and held for several weeks while
being tortured. One
day a battle broke
out and not
knowing who was fighting I made a break for it. I was found by the Kozaky
and taken to their sietch.
After two weeks I regained consciousness
and decided
it was time for a change so I joined the Kosaki.
After years of service I was promoted to
obaznyi
or quartermaster where I now serve.
Bohun the Mad Albanian. He seems like a happy fellow. Nobody knows why he is mad.
