Aleksey Blazh

Aleksey Blazh is a once famous bard, hailing from the Northern kingdoms. He grew up to a poet mother and a shepherding father, where he faced a great deal of hardships brought on by his father's opinions and values. He became well known in the kingdoms for his music and balleds, providing entertainment for kings and lords until he found himself in a precarious situation, becoming exiled in his late twenties. There he turned to brothels for work, his music not carrying the same weight in these lands as it had back home. He kept this job for some time, until starting a relationship with his now husband Kasjan, and aiding in the bubbling revoltion against the Southern kingdoms.

---- OUT OF DATE!!! WILL REWRITE LATER ---- Born in the Northern most kingdom of Mouryn to a shepherding family, he was raised mostly by his father after his mother's death when he was only eight years old. His father heavily disapproved of him and who he was, leaving him unable to express himself in his adolecence. That was until at the age of eighteen he met a Philosopher from the East kingdom, starting a relationship and fleeing the North. It was then that he got raveled up in secrets and fighting between kingdoms, ultimately leading to his and his at the time lover's exile, and what he assumed to be his lover's death.

Now living in the Exiled lands, he decided to embrace what he had kept to himself for so long, finding comfort and good coin working as a companion in the taverns and brothels. It was at that time he met a man named Kasjan, a southern entertainer who needed some help navigating the Northern exiled lands. They formed a friendship, the man coming up to visit once a year or so in his occasional travels.

He went on like this for a good part of his life, until things again began to get heated in the kingdoms. This seeped into the Exiled lands, causing him to get taken into custody by two king's guards for mocking the Southern King. The knights also ended up burning his town in search for two fugitives, the missing prince and his husband. On his march to the kingdom however, he ran into Kasjan, who was escorting the run away Prince and his lover over the mountain.

Kasjan bought Aleksey's freedom, and Aleksey agreed to help the group. Though, halfway throughh the journey Kasjan fell ill, Aleksey instead leaving the Prince and his lover to take the ill man home to the south, where he there nursed him back to health. It was then the two began to fall in love, starting a relationship that eventually led to marriage, a homestead, an animal family, and happiness.
