History
Arthur Amador was born circa 1449, likely in The County of Schattenburg on the Shadowcoast, which was then ruled by House Stafyr from the Shadowcastle. Following the exodus from Elysium & Kalos, House Amador did not regain the influence it had previously had under the First Holy Orenian Empire. As a consequence, the House of Amador worked with the Count Farley of the House of Stafyr, under the initial rule of the Second Holy Orenian Empire, led by Sigismund I, Exalted Holy Orenian Emperor, until the Death of the Emperor and the Consolidation of the Crown under War Hero Peter Chivay and the inaugeration of the Third Holy Orenian Empire.
During this time, the Third Holy Orenian Empire was embroiled in the Third Urguan-Oren War. At the Age of 15, he participated in the Battle of Shadowcastle, and for his bravery, went to become a Holy squire for the Church of the True Faith, under Holy Knight Ser Revandir. Not long after, he was called into service for the Siege of Thoringrad, where the Holy Orenian Empire's forces soundly defeated the Dwarves of Urguan. For his service, Ser Arthur swore his Knightly Vows at the age of 18. One of the Youngest Knights ever to do so, for the time. He would later be called upon for the Siege of Indagolaf, where he would play a minor role committing to several sorties of the destroyed gate.
After suffering his first defeat, Arthur would come under the employ of the Imperial House of Chivay and become the Constable of Petrus. Under the reign Peter I & Robert I of the House of Chivay, Arthur's role took on more purpose as the Imperial System became heavily militaristic, nationalistic and imperialist, characterized by several wars aiming for total non-human subjugation.
In 1467, Robert I was assassinated by Vibius de Sola, ending the Third Holy Orenian Empire and putting Ser Arthur in a position of authority when the Imperial aparatus collapsed all around him. At this point, he was lost from the historical record and his subsequent life is missing. What is known is, like his ancestor Jiraiya Amador, he was involved in the Elven Slave Trade for a time, profiting from captured prisoners. This has led some to suspect that the Knight went rogue, whilst others have defended him, stating he had to make ends meet at a time of the Imperial collapse.
In 1483, he appeared to have been back in the employ of the Church of the Canon, as Arthur participated in the Schism War until 1491. Although, again, the details of his exploits during this war are lost to us.
He died in the service of the Church of the Canon aged 78.
