Aidan Summerbreeze

Born in the one hundred and sixth year of the reign of King Rhodhri and Queen Morgana, Aidan Summerbreeze was born to Wyn and Corinne Summerbreeze. He grew up learning his father’s trade, and eventually became a good healer in his own right, getting the first test of his skills when his parents were attacked by bandits in the wood. Though Wyn’s injuries proved too grievous, Aidan was able to save his mother, though she was never the same vibrant woman she had been and eventually faded in her depression.

When Aidan was 32, he met Artunis, who had come in to Linwood City with her parents, Arya and Azar. It was love at first sight, though Arya, who was from western Seos, had been followed there by a jealous former lover. He killed both Arya and Azar, but Aidan got between him and Artunis, saving her life.

Artunis chose to stay in Linwood City permanently, and after giving her time to grieve her parents, Aidan began courting her. They married, and their only child, a girl, was named for her mother.

Aidan tried teaching his daughter the healing arts, but she showed no aptitude for them, instead taking after her warrior mother. When Arya joined the royal guard, Aidan took as an apprentice his daughter’s best friend, Princess Agrona. The apprenticeship did not last long, however, as Agrona left when she and Arya had a falling out.

Aidan watched his daughter rise through the ranks, only to be disgraced upon being accused of stealing the Heart of Linwood. Though saddened, Aidan continued to love his daughter, and he and Artunis welcomed her secret visits, never once failing to believe in her innocence.

Aidan was killed in the attacks that also killed King Ailill and Queen Catriona as he attempted to go to heal those who were injured.
