Eochaid

Status: AV 150
Eochaid Loren Lenahr was born in the small Venirian border town of Trela. He played a critical part in events around the Serpent Amphora's capture and eventual destruction.

His father disappeared and was presumed dead when he was a child, only to resurface with little memory of his past some years later and father a second child (Kane Lenahr) with Eochaid's mother. Sadly, his father did then die during a hunting expedition, killed and consumed by slitherin on the Blood Steppes.

When Eochaid came of age, he traveled north to Vesh in hope of becoming a vigilant there. His mother's father, Eochu Airem, had been a vigilant before moving south, and Lenahr hoped to move his family out of New Venir before Calastian military recruiters came for his younger brother.

Lenahr did well in training at Bride Lake and was accepted into Arcernoth Delta Vigil. After some unfortunate misadventures in the Mourning Marshes involving Redeemed slitheren, he was transferred to Pelpernoi Vigil in the Haggard Hills. Eventually, his platoon happened on a lead to a powerful titanic artifact that turned out to be the amphora containing a great deal of Mormo's essence. They helped the rest of the vigil track down the artifact, and Lenahr's platoon captured it.

However, the squad took terrible losses in the fighting and were separated from the rest of the vigil. Driven southward, away from Vesh, they strayed eventually into the Blood Steppes, near where Eochaid had hunted as a young man. Lenahr's commander (Sergeant Gandy) realized that Eochaid would stand a better chance alone than with his squad (given his ranger skills and knowledge of the terrain), and so she and the remainder of the squad fought a holding action against their pursuers while Lenahr ran as fast as he could with the artifact.

Despite being wounded and poisoned by the enemy, Lenahr fought through and found himself back in the town of Trela, where he was able to put the artifact in the hands of trustworthy people to carry it north to Vesh. It is thought by the Veshian Vigil that he succumbed to his injuries, but he and his squad were given citations for conspicuous bravery and tenacity -- almost all posthumously. He's survived by his brother, who has gone on to join the vigil himself.

Update: AV 151
Agents for Semanye Vigil have uncovered evidence suggesting that Eochaid Loren Lenahr was brought from Trela to a temple-prison of Belsameth in Femulyae for interrogation and that he was killed attempting to escape.
