Resume

Profile:

His Lordship Hucbald ap Urp is one of the heads of the House Azoth. His persona originates in Wales around the turn of the millennium. Having trained in combat techniques, he later travelled to the Middle East under suspicious circumstances. Not much is known about Hucbald during this time although upon his return to his homeland some 15 years later, it is evident that he returns with much knowledge learned in his travels. His interests have become more focused on the sciences and philosophy while not neglecting the arts.

It has come to light that Hucbald was taken captive by the Barony of Lionsgate and after two years of imprisonment, a fair Lady Morgaine Essex assisted in his escape. They hid on her father's lands in Ramsgard eventually making their return to Hucbald's home in Seagirt.
