Fiction:Fenric Vermillion

Fenric Vermillion is a male Sicorseach who is currently in command of the majority of the Blood Brotherhood's forces. Fenric has declared himself Rightful Ruler of the and the Red Veil Territories. He makes this claim out of a sense of honor and duty to his people rather than any sort of ambition (at least, none that he admits to others or even himself). Fenric was formerly one of the Mendel's best commanders, and a loyal supporter of Barda Clett, until a series of events spurred on by his brother Reyner dragged him into the service of the, a branch of the. Ascending the ranks, Fenric became the top general in the Brotherhood army. However, a disastrous war with the New Enlightened alliance left the Brotherhood shattered. Fenric has gathered up the remains, turned them into his own personal Mendel Clan, and declared war on all who would oppose his claims.

Early Life
Fenric Vermillion was born to Rhoggo and Venicce Vermillion on their home planet of Vermis. The Vermillions were a clan of Sicorseach loyal to the. As a reward for their undying loyalty, they were given a large number of neighboring star systems and associated colonies. Fenric was the second-oldest child of four. His older brother, Regdric, died when an enemy force bombarded their planet. His youngest sibling, a sister, Ferdria, died in an unspecified accident. Later in life, both of his parents would die in a ship crash. The demise of two of his siblings and his parents left Fenric a hollow, joyless shell of a man, bitter to all.

Around the age of eighteen or so, Fenric was orphaned and forced to care for his younger brother and only surviving sibling, Reyner, who was about fourteen at the time. However, something else came up that twisted Fenric's bowels even more; by his father's posthumous decree, Reyner rather than he would become Lord of Vermis and all its lands and people. Fenric was enraged, but eventually respected his father's wishes and did not interfere with Reyner's "rule". He supported his brother, all the while training in military affairs and combat. He became a very cunning man, and by age twenty was considered one of the best fighters on the planet.

Military Service
Fenric left Vermis at age twenty-four to join the UFG army. He served under Ugandalore the Great, who would be his mentor. He also fought alongside Barda Clett, whom he became friends with. Despite not being a Ugandal, he was accepted by all and was a very good soldier. He fought pirates, Zarbanians, and Alpha Grox, almost always winning his battles. Fenric rapidly became a very experienced commander, and by the age of thirty had surpassed many Ugandal commanders. He soon found himself commanding a legion of Ugandal troops. His brother Reyner may have had command of the fighting men of Vermis and the Vermillion Clan, but Fenric had thousands of loyal, elite Ugandal troops who obeyed and respected him without so much as a doubt. He would go on to see action against the Dead Watchers, whom he despised.

When Fenric was thirty-five, the Nebulorians invaded the galaxy and allied with the Dead Watchers and the. Fenric was called into action along with his fellow Ugandal warriors. He led his fleet into battle against the Destroyers numerous times and each time was able to use complex fleet maneuvers to confuse, cripple, and defeat his foes. He fought in every major battle of the war, and was at the final conflict with the Spear of Apocalypse and Ne'yon. Fenric primarily fought the Dead Watchers, attempting to kill their leader Tox Cano. However, the Dark One arrived and killed him. Fenric cared not; for his foe was dead either way. Ne'yon also perished. Fenric returned to UFG space to await his next mission.

He did not have to wait long. A race of vile creatures,, had returned to the galaxy and allied with the. Fenric once again rushed off to do his duty and defend his people. Fenric helped Barda track down and kill Lorka Gredyc and later joined in on the final assault on the Hive-Mind. Fenric held his ships back and fired on her, not wanting to risk getting too close and getting all his men killed. Eventually, she was destroyed, and the threat of the Infectants was ended for the time being.

A few years after that, a Volver rebel known as ignited a war on his homeworld that dragged the UFG into yet another frantic battle. Fenric was called down to Ascon to defend the planet from the rebels. He and his forces mostly stayed away from where Crimson was; instead they fought many of the rebels on the outskirts of the city, keeping them away from the palace. Eventually, the allies would be victorious. But that was not the end of that battle.

Royal Family

Family
Family, whom I tolerate on various levels.
 * Renyer Vermillion - Brother, you have caused me much trouble throughout your life. But we are kin, and that is all that matters in this world.
 * Celyre Ferquievy - We married out of duty, not love. That is no way for our lives to be lived.
 * Shequey Vermillion - She is the future, what we should all be fighting for.
 * Princess Scovia - My brother's wife. Her people fight well, so I must keep this girl close.
 * Arryg Wainrider - My best general. His devotion is questionable, his skill is not.
 * Florey Ferquievy - Bumbling brother by law. Still, he staunchly supports my claim.
 * Hadrian Kardvark - Savage. Distant family, but he is also useful.
 * Trevagr Kardvark - Florey's lady wife. She is smarter than both her brother and her "lord" husband, that is for sure.

Allies
''The smart ones. You will have a place in my new world.''
 * Thorian the Peon - He will never betray me. I must give him and his people a generous place by my side.
 * The Bonerider - The most brutal man I have ever met. He serves me well.
 * Grenka the Flathead - A vile one, but he has his uses.
 * King Kallinax - This one is too quick to act, but he did save me from defeat.
 * Baroness Regdrina - Kallinax's niece, and quite certainly picking up his knack for cruelty.
