Early Life & Career
Childhood
Sometime in 1782, Igor was born in an abandoned barn somewhere near the capital city of New Reza. His father, Nikolaus Otto Bykov (eventually ennobled as Kortrevich), and mother Natalia Pavlova, ran away from New Reza to Helena after Igor's birth. For much of his childhood, Igor was raised in secrecy and was often barred from visiting his family in New Reza by his father, leading the bastard child to rely on literature surrounding philosophy, human culture, and most importantly, politics. Tragically, his life in Helena came to a halt when his mother passed from a fever resulting of her injuries during the Inferi War. Then twelve year old Igor and his father would travel as nomads in seek of a new home following the great migration to Almaris. Upon the construction of Karosgrad, Igor would find himself adopted by his grandfather Ser Ivan Kortrevich, commonly known as The Red Bull. Shortly after, Ser Ivan would die protecting his cousin Lord Viktor Kortrevich, Margrave of Korstadt, in an encounter with forest bandits. Lord Viktor would legitimize his late estranged cousin, allowing Igor to claim the bastard name of "Kort".
