He had been born a slave. He would die a slave. He knew this, and accepted it. So ingrained in his self was the concept that he found it hard to even contemplate any sort of alternative. He was, after all, a Wykeham, and the Wykham's belonged to Count Montagu and his family. It was, in his mind, really just that simple.<br/>Seven hundred years ago, on the other hand, things had been much different.. Gregori's ancestor, Count Fredrik Wykeham, was the furthest one could get from a slave. Of all the noble's in the area, he was by far the wealthiest, the most influential, and the most powerful... besides Count Montagu. Fredrik wanted Montagu's lands for himself, and what Fredrik wanted, Fredric took. Or he attempted to, anyway. For what was supposed to be a quick coup turned into a nearly 30 year war... massive casualties were had on both sides, and entire villages were destroyed... until at last, in a desperate battle, Montagu captured Fredrik and emerged victorious. The devastation wrought by the insurrection was horrific, and in Montagu's eyes, even the executioners axe could not make up for what Fredrik had done. So, instead, he sentenced the count, and his entire noble house, to slavery... one year for every innocent who had died in the war.<br/>The Wykehams had been slaves ever since. At first, there was resistance, there was the occasional uprising... but over the generations, as those who remembered freedom, even the old stories of such, died, they came to accept their place... even into the modern era, when such things were virtually unheard of, Montagu's castle, in the half-forgotten corner of a tiny eastern European nation, remained rooted in the old ways. No Wykeham had left the castle in centuries, and they quite literally had no idea of how much the world had changed.<br/>Gregori, like his father and his grandfather before him, was an expert fencer. He did this not because he enjoyed the hobby (although he did), but because it was his duty to instruct the Count's sons in the art.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Personality:</span>Gregori, like many of his family, has a very calm, almost zen demeanor. It is, after all, easy to be content with ones place in life when one has no idea that there are other options. Removed from the castle where he's spent his whole life, and forced to reevaluate his worldview in the face of the wider facts of reality, however, and it's hard to predict exactly how he'll react.
