Jason Reilev

=Early Life= Jason Reilev was raised as the second son of a Jurrian noble, the lesser King of Rummia. His father, Zetin, also called Zetin the Feared raised Jason, his mother having died shortly after his birth. Granted, this amounted to somewhat frequent beatings and gener care from maids and servants, not a true fatherly relationship. Jason had a brother, Phrivet, and both were treated horribly by their father, eventually forcing Jason to leave the Isle after his brother's death.

=Travels= In his youth, between the ages of 15 and 23, Jason travelled across much of Ateon.

Piracy in the Jurrian
Having escaped Rummia, Jason joined the crew who smuggled him out. He spent the next year sailing across the Jurrian, stealing from nobles and evading authority. After a time, Jason began to have moral qualms, especially after an incident with a ship of civilians, and he left the crew soon after, headed out on his own travels.

The South and West
Jason spent his later teenage years in the South and then the West. He spent his time as a sell-sword, assisting simple people how he could and taking payment in the form of food, lodging, equipment, and meager coin. Jason spent nearly an entire year adventuring across the Free Land

=Templehelm=

Death & Rebirth
Two years after Jason's death, three men gathered at the Temple of Mycelyix, where the Nexus had once stood: Cedric Rashoth, Acmog the Lich-King, and Rapheous, then head of The Guild. At this gathering, Acmog uses his mastery of the necromantic arts to call Jason's soul back to Templehelm and tether it to the severed eye of a Leviathan as a kind of phylactery. Shortly after this, Cedric Rashoth communed with Akwal, and, after much prayer, Akwal fused Jason's phylactery with a magically-constructed artificial body that Cedric had prepared.

Arcus the Oracle
A friend who came to Templehelm with Jason. He served as Jason's right-hand and oracle. He died shortly after the Great Upheaval.

Boldric of Whitecrest
Jason's first and oldest friend in Templehelm. Boldric and Jason built Whitecrest from the ground up, twice. When Jason stepped down from the throne in order to stave off Glacikaldrian Invasion, he left Boldric in his place. A life-long Mycelyite, Boldric and Jason were the foundation of the traditional affections between those two creeds.

Blak Shadrian
A friend of Jason's from Old Whitecrest, Blak Shadrian was loyal and kind. When he returned to his homeland, none expected that his daughter would one day come to Templehelm, seeking shelter and guidance from her father's old friend.

Leonad Storm
King of Tranquility. Leonad helped Jason to grow closer to Akwal, and he provided a home for him following the Great Upheaval.

Ran'akak'flam
Also called Rand Steel-Flame, he was a long-time friend, rival, peer, and eventually enemy. Rand and Jason followed the same faith in very different ways, and as Rand grew older, he became more and more fundamentalist in his beliefs. This lead to friction between him and then-Champion Jason Reilev, and eventually Rand's jealousy and tribalism and Jason's desire for unity among the faith came to a head. The Massacre at Dubiety is a bloody mark on Tranquil History, and it is a tale of tragedy and betrayal. Often thinking his actions were in the wrong, it was one of Jason's few regrets.

Mystiko de Montechristo
The traitorous fiend was a close friend of Jason's, and he would often seek solace with his more loyal, kind friend. When possible, Mystiko was housed or hidden, but even Jason had to turn him away once or twice to keep his own people safe.

Quan Do O Grant
A complicated friendship indeed. Quan and Jason never quite saw eye-to-eye when it came to the faith. When Jason was named Champion, he and Quan only drifted further apart, and when both were affected by the possessive magic of the Others, that relationship fully crumbled. Their tale is long and storied, but it ended with Jason face-down on Syzar's Isle, his own trident thrust through his heart by one he had laughed, danced, and drunk with a time ago. Quan Do O Grant killed Jason first, before the Sea Father revived him. It was a betrayal that stung Jason's heart till the day his soul was taken from him as well.

Ekgnujya the Cruel
A long-time friend of Jason, Ekgnujya fought alongside him from the days of Tranquility till they served the Kingdom of Aren. Known for his engineering skills, Ekgnujya was often left in charge of siege weaponry. Due to the kind nature of Jason as King, the darker projects of nation-building were usually left to Ekgnujya as well.

Daniel McLachlen
A strong and loyal friend. Daniel McLachlen was found with Jason ever since the days of Tranquility. They fought and celebrated together until the days of Serenity, until Jason was killed by Quan.

Saevus the Netharnan
A loyal friend and a Netharnan, Saevus was a Cresian who lived through the Great Upheaval with Jason. It is thanks to their relationship that Jason was on such good terms with Netharna. This understanding is what prefaced Jason's inclusion of all faiths into his Kingdoms.

Rabol the Mad
A long-time friend, Rabol and Jason met in Old Whitecrest and continued their correspondence for long after. Jason was always the first to help Rabol when trouble came to the Isle.

Victoria Shadrian
Daughter of King Blak Shadrian, Victoria came to Whitecrest after the Great Upheaval, and Jason took her udner his wing. They were friends long after, even when she moved to Thyvor.

Baran the Diplomat
A close friend of Jason's, Baran kept trade running smoothly and Whitecrest out of war as best he could. The two often enjoyed a cup of tea together.

Dagger Arkenstone
At first allies, then enemies, Jason and Dagger acknowledged each other as loyal friends at the end of their relationship. Even so, the issues their Kingdoms had with one another often made that friendship difficult. Still, Dagger was one of the only ones to defend Whitecrest when the Cult laid siege. For that, Jason was always grateful.

Laith
One of Jason's many students, Laith was a refugee from Sunagakure when they met. Under Jason's wing, Laith studied architecture, swordsmanship, and diplomacy, though he was often to boisterous to excel at most of what Jason tried to teach him. Still, out of all of Jason's students, Laith was with him the longest, surviving from New Whitecrest until Jason's second and final death near Bloodfall. Laith served him loyally, and tries to do right by Jason to this day.

Cedric
One of Jason's many students, Cedric always had a mind for magic. He followed Jason in his faith, though often struggled in ways that his master could not easily understand. When Jason was killed, Cedric scoured Templehelm trying to find a way to bring him back. Eventually, through Acmog the Lich and with the use of ancient Jazadi Golemancy, Cedric did manage to tether Jason's soul to a body, which was then blessed and further resurrected by Akwal. Jason was upset when he awoke and cast Cedric off in anger. It is not known what happened to Cedric next. Some say he left Templehelm. Some say, without a master and struggling with his faith, Cedric cast everything aside.
