Julius Jansen

Lieutenant Julius Jansen is a Cavalier who trained under the knightly order known as the Order of the Dragon. He previously travelled as the right hand man to Paranoid Bushybeard, assisting him in his various endeavours during the Liberation War of Randul. Currently Julius is heading his own operation in Huria but has been called to assist Bushybeard a number of times during this time.

Backstory
Julius Jansen is the bastard son of an unwed peasant woman and a member of the Randullan barony, Baron Gregor Dumas.

His mother Mira Jansen raised him on meager wage of a maid. As he grew older, Julius grew to care for the horses of the Dumas household, becoming the chief groom of the estate at an early age.

His father Gregor never acknowledged his oldest son. The Baron had two sons, both considerably younger than Julius to his wife. His younger sons Alexander and Verne Dumas do not know of the connection that they and Julius share. They only know him as the son of the maid that heads the Dumas household. Julius is aware of his father due to stories shared by his mother, but never shared his parentage with anyone.

At age 17, his mother died under mysterious circumstances. He has suspected it was his father’s wife who put his mother to death. Furious with this perceived injustice, he took a store of gold from the Dumas household before fleeing on his father's best warhorse, Thunderbolt.

From then on he traveled onwards, fleeing the home that he has known for his entire life. He literally ran himself and Thunderbolt into the Knights of the Order of the Dragon, who instilled the skills he would need to both find his mother’s killer and along the way enact much vengeance to all that would oppress the sick, weak and those unable to fight for themselves.

According to his training, he was to find someone who was worthy of his vassalage, and eventually found himself in the Liberation War of Randul. While in battle he saw a group of irregular soldiers assisting on the front line to turn the tide of the battle, both crushing the enemy with much might and healing fallen soldiers.

He eventually followed the group to the main forces of the army, and then eventually offered his services to then-Lieutenant Paranoid Bushybeard, the leader of the irregular unit.
