His father was Huntmaster for the Baron, keeper of the nobleman's hunting preserve. Girion learned the ways of the forest from his father. He was schooled in the use of the longbow, and learned to track game and survive in the woods. Living in the Borderlands meant being subjected to frequent Kundrian orcish raids, so Girion was also trained in the art of war. He learned to wield longsword, dagger or bow against the vile goblin-folk, and studied their foul language and savage ways. Soon, Girion became an expert tracker and warrior, and was assigned to the Roedran Border Guards as a scout. Unfortunately, Roedran was among the territories invaded by the Kundrians. The land was razed, the villages destroyed and Girion's family along with it. He returned from a scouting mission deep in the Kundrian lands to find his home burnt down. There was no sign of his father, sister and brother.  Their fate a gruesome one: either killed and eaten by the humanoid horde or worse, tortured and enslaved by the sadistic savages.Distraught at the uncertain fate of his loved ones, Girion dedicated himself wholeheartedly to the war effort, seeking to avenge his family and countrymen and desperately searching for any clue as to their whereabouts. Eventually, he gave up hope of  ever seeing them again and came to terms with his loss. His despair receded at last, but his hatred of the orcs remained undiminished.The remainder of the Border Guards were reassigned to the Hintanese Army, where Girion continued to serve as a scout. His distinguished service in the war got him assigned to Lord Erecos' elite troops in Medore, where he continues to serve with diligence and loyalty.Alone and homeless, Girion has few concrete plans once the war is over. Perhaps he will wander the lands of the Empire he has served, or visit distant lands mentioned only in legends...</blockquote>
