History

Birth

Lope was born as the second male son of Henry Tarsington and Alice Keint in the Kingdom of Courland. His older brother was the late lord Thomas Tarsington-Keint.

Childhood

Lope and his brothers Thomas and Richard, had a strong brotherly bond, they would do everything together without a care in the world. At the age of 7 Lope's father, Henry was murdered on the road by bandits, and thus leaving the young boy fatherless. This event would affect his view on justice.

Teenage Years

While his brothers trained with the blade, Lope read and educated himself in the arts of politics and philosophy. Lope never wanted to be a noble man and tended to escape his father's lands to explore the wild and experience the cultures of other races. At the age of 15 Lope fled home for two years. During this time he learned to use the hallebarde by a dwarf. Thanks to his new found skill Lope went into a small crusade hunting down raiders to avenge his father's death. Lope during his teenage years was known for being very promiscuous with women and secretly with men as well. When Lope came back from his two year travel in the year 1617 he was starting to be called the Black Lion do to how his beliefs and personality were so different from those of his brothers and other Keints.

Middle Ages

During his 30es Lope saw his brother Thomas become the head of the family and how he swore fealty towards the Kingdom of Santegia and King Abdes de Savin. Lope liked Santegia as its spirit embodied what he saw was potential for a more enlightened future. Saddly for Lope after a small feud broke out between his Lord brother of House Keint and House Vertilla, which later escalated, Thomas declared the Barony of Keintania independent from the Kingdom of Santegia, which later led to the Keintanian Rebellion. From the years of 1638-1649, Thomas and the loyal members of House Keint who sided with him, fought bravely in the Rebellion which ultimately failed when Santegia won the Siege of Keintania. During the rebelion and after it Lope went into a self exile where he sought to find some kind of way through which his family name and legacy could survive.
