Armond Jaialas Aubersten

"Even when I'm drunk I make more sense than some of my superiors."



Armond was born and raised in Kaineng Center to his wealthy parents Raeson and Calaea. When he was eighteen years old, he was sent to Shing Jea Monastery to study swordsmanship under Headmaster Zhan and his assistants, Talon Silverwing and Weng Gha. He learned many valuable skills during the two years he trained with them before deciding to train to have a secondary profession of Mesmer. He spoke with Headmaster Kaa about his decision and received six months personal tutelage. At this point, he received the title "Hexblade" along with a warning that there was much left for him to learn.

By the time he was twenty-one, Armond had returned to Kaineng Center. There, he applied for a job as a Canthan Guard and was quickly hired - Zhan's reputation for teaching was well known amongst the organization, who had taught many of them as well. He had not been working for long, however, before Master Togo, who had taken an interest in his studies, requested his return to the monastery.

Once he arrived, Master Togo led him to Minister Cho's Estate for an introduction, only to find that the plague had hit the estate hard. Armond decided to notify his superiors that he was going to travel with Master Togo to investigate the source of the plague.

By the time they met up with Mhenlo, Armond decided he wanted more versatility in his secondary professions, so he learned the ways of the Elementalist and the Ritualist. However, he chose not to study under Headmaster Vhang, but instead took Kai Ying and Ronsu as his mentors, managing a crash course in elemental magic in just a few days, and was competent in rituals not long after that. Because of his expertise with weapons and spells, he was granted the title of Spellsword.

After defeating Shiro, Armond went back to living in Kaineng Center - though when he applied for his old job he was quickly promoted three steps. He was also given the title of Warblade for his accomplishments.

Armond enjoys cold beer and ale. He is a friend of Maethon Darkblade, who helps out the Kaineng Guards every now and then (the fact that many wanted bodies, breathing or otherwise, tend to show up outside the Guards' doors has offset his criminal record). Although Maethon is officially wanted, Armond has enough influence to make sure he's not looked for too carefully. He also owes a few debts to the assassin, who has carried him out of more than one bar on the weekends.

When Armond is not to be found doing his duties in Kaineng Center, he can be found training on the Isle of the Nameless. He has recently taken up the axe as an experiment, using the Dragoncrest Axe he received as a gift from Suun and his assistant.

Armond has not yet advanced through the plot line of Prophecies or Nightfall.
