Gem Valtara: Difference between revisions

Gem, named so after the last item his mother left for him, was born to [[Enriq Valtara III]] as his bastardized firstborn son on XXXX XX, XXXX, the king during the [[Valtaran Civil War]], and is the elder half-brother to [[King Robert Valtara I]]. Gem was born as a result of relations that his father had with a servant girl thus making him a bastard. His mother however had died at childbirth and so his father, ever merciful, took Gem in as his own. He continued his bastard status until he was 5 years of age, at which his father, having no eligible heirs after years of trying with his wife, had declared Gem his heir, now fully embracing him. Enriq's brother, Ignacio, took this as a grave insult to allow someone as impure as 'that bastard' rule and thus started the 20-year civil war.

Gem was appointed Lord Commander of Valtara, giving him command of all military forces of Valtara, by his father just before his death.

Following the Valtaran Civil War and the coronation of King Robert, Gem was made hand of the King so that he may take up the responsibility of ruling the nation while his brother slacked off.

Gem was declared heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Valtara by his father even though he is a bastard. This title was revoked upon conclusion of the Valtaran Civil War.
