Sigismond Pertinax Varoche (6th of Horen's Calling, 1873 - 23rd of Sigismund's End, 1916) of the House of Varoche, was the eldest son of the family who had long resided in the lands of Aeldin having recused themselves from Arcas and Almaris after various unfortunate events and tragedies befell their house and the great Duchy of Adria. Sigismond brought the House of Varoche nearly to the forefront of Adrian politics, only second to the Ducal Household of Sarkozic itself before the anathema's untimely insurrection and eventual horrid murder of the good Count Varoche after the murder of his own son, Charles, in front of himself and the innumerable blood-thirsty Renatian brigands within the Free City of Veletzia.

Early Life & Adolescence

Little much is known of Sigismond's life before he arrived upon the shores of Almaris, however, it is known that his father Stefan sent him at the young age of ten to Almaris to make the name of Varoche once more known and it is likely he did this in the hopes that Sigismond could do what he could never help achieve; to aid in an eventual restoration of Adria.

The young Sigismond found himself within the Royal City of Karosgrad where he quickly found the distant family his father had told him of, they were distant relatives descended from a close ally of the Varoche of old, the Montelliani. He found a home with these Illatians, though his living conditions were quite cramped in the small room he shared his a cousin, they were pleasant for a number of years. In time Sigismond made a number of friends, and his two younger brothers Paul and Quintus were sent from their Aeldinic home to live with him.

It was also during this time that Sigismond met a girl his age, Ipera de Falstaff, whom he became fast friends with, and in time both became enamored with one another marrying soon after they both came of age. By the time of their marriage Sigismond had moved to the Principality of Sedan, having found the air of Karosgrad and that of the Kingdom of Haense truly disagreeable. For a number of years he called Joannesport home, and for much of it he was quite happy though in his heart of hearts, he always found that something was lacking; he never could quite put his finger upon what it was though later in life he knew precisely what was missing.
