Captain Mercia Gehamont

Captain Mercia Gehamont is the current Captain of the Swords of Altex Mercenary Company, she was born in the village of Gehamonte within the rural mountainous Kingdom of Loratonia to her parents Vashka Gehamont and Irwin Gehamont. In her early childhood she was reported by the locals to be an obnoxious and loud child. At the age of 10 Mercia became betrothed to the noble aristocrat Edgar Oldswood after he had apparently "Found her captivating". Mercia was assumedly opposed to this as after only 2 days she had escaped the premises of the estate she was held in and joined the Church of Altex under the guise of an abandoned child. Edgar Oldswoods parents were infuriated by this and quickly went to reclaim her, however as she was now technically part of the clergy the church refused to deliver her to the family, with the then current head priest Avixe Halmlen of the church quoting "As this child ran into our hands, they were afraid and crying, as the fate they were given would never allow them to achieve their dreams. I ask you, aristocrat. What are we clergy if not the protectors of that very thing?" Now part of the Church and the clergy, Mercia slowly rose through the ranks, becoming a nun in 6532. Then a head-nun in 6534. Before being given the title of Head-priestess upon the passing of the previous head priest Alvixe Halmlen in 6537. Mercia Gehamont however refused the position the next day, and chose to instead leave the church to chase after her dreams in battle as a Swordsmarch in the frontier. In 6540 Mercia Gehamont established the Swords of Altex mercenary company, assuming the title of Captain.
