Gaius Frostang

Gaius Frostang is the current leader of the Knights of the Blood Red Light.

Background and life
Gaius's father was Harold Frostang, a rather wealthy merchant with aristocratic origins and blood ties to several noble families - Harold's father (Gaius's paternal grandfather), Williem was King Bryant's nephew, which means that the Frostang-family has some blood ties to the Bryantid dynasty. Gaius's mother, Yula Frostang (neé Hildenie) was the niece of the Osriking Margrave of Steelhelm at the time, giving the Frostang family some blood ties to the Osrikings as well. Originally landless - and thus chosing the life of a merchant, due to being good with numbers and coin, but not with the sword - Harold eventually became a landed noble, as he ended up marrying a noblewoman, whose older brother died without any children.

Harold had two sons, Collatius and Gaius, and a daughter named Priscia. Out of these, Gaius was born on the 798.45408185856. Being the oldest, Collatius was destined to be the inheritor of his father's small demesne, the daughter was intended to be married off to a nobleman, while Gaius was sent off to join the Knights of the Blood Red Light, with no real prospects of inheriting any land, unless his older brother died.

Gaius progressed through the ranks steadily - his master was none of than Julius William Etrix -, eventually becoming an esteemed master, with his former apprentice, Angus Govirseon being of the rank Master today. Gaius already reached the rank of master at the age of 28.

Gaius was elected as the new leader of the order at the rather early age of 34, when his predecessor - and former master -, Julius William Etrix died in mysterious conditions. Elected at the scandalously early age of 34, Gaius became the youngest man to ever get elected as the Grandmaster of the Knights of the Blood Red Light. One of his first noteworthy actions as the grandmaster of the order was getting his knights involved in the Froturnish Civil War of 809, aiding Crown Prince Bryant's retinue against the High Elven loyalists in the Battle of Ancestors Field.

As his involvement in the civil war turned out to be a failure, he devoted the next two decades to fixing the order's reputation, with not much noteworthy happening ever since.
