Estaban of Jerbiton (Master)
[tab][/tab]Esteban de Barbastro of House Jerbiton was born into a life of privilege in the house of a caballero hidalgo, Don Juan Alejandro de Barbastro, in Catalonia. He was apprenticed to the bookish Theophilus but, after completing his Gauntlet, abandoned the secluded life of a scholar for a life of adventure! He has ridden to war with a band of caballeros villanos (fighting on both sides of the Reconquista as fortunes waxed and waned), wooed high-born ladies both Christian and Moorish, and has reputedly come dangerously close to being a court wizard in Toledo. His most famous deed is defeating in Wizard's War the discredited magus Balduino ex Flambeau, whose life he spared on condition that he depart the Iberian Tribunal, never to return. Esteban uses his Gentle Gift to try to build bridges between the Order and mundane society -- and if a few ladies swoon into his arms along the way, he takes that in stride.

A year or so before her Gauntlet, Fédora became involved with Saam, King Frost, and would eventually become pregnant by him. Her mater forcibly separated the two and sent her off to Cunfin, in the Normandy Tribunal, after her gauntlet where she gave birth to her son Semyon. She has been serving Normandy faithfully in the seven years since.
Guillaume of Flambeau (Master)

Evandrus, filius Julius (himself Julius, filius Delendos) took Guillaume as an apprentice late in life at Doissetep. Guillaume became a Knight of Seneca upon passing his gauntlet. In his early years as a magus he found and nursed back to health the wolf pup who would grow to become his familiar, Astrid. Guillaume also became interested in alchemy early in his career. Temporarily based out of Campo del Marte, Guillaume fought in the Shadow Wars until he was nearly killed taking the Covenant of Jafaryia. He then returned to Doissetep and began working with the Quaesitores, first as a Hoplite and now as a trainee. As a loyal Knight of Seneca, he has answered Andorra's call in its time of need.
