Kon Ralidus

Sir Konór Sehemes Ralidus was a renowned and later shunned Air Chief in the Evitch Royal House of Flight during the early-mid 18th Century. His last voyage was at the helm of an expedition to map the uncharted Lands of Eons Shallow.

Early Life
Born into a wealthy family, headed by his father, the General Àlinthred Ralidus, Kon was immediately within close proximity of the Royal Family. His mother was a callion breeder and hoped him to follow in her footsteps rather than his father's, mainly being that he'd be absent for long periods of time.

Alas, he was pulled into the military life once his voice dropped (the Yrdain ascension to manhood) and spent most of his formative years studying in preparation for his future training. During this time, he served part-time as Rorym's equerry when he was Prince; they developed a strong bond and considered each other brothers from the age of 7. Àlinthred requested that his son be made the Prince's Chaitaph, but Kon was rejected due to his timidness. When that role went to Rorym's other friend, Verdisian Duster, Kon became increasingly unconfident and introverted, to the point that he only trusted Rorym. He was, however, the only person alive permitted to call Rorym by his name as opposed to the title - an honour he clung onto when the life challenged him.

Well into his position as Captain, Kon became self-aware of his honourable reputation due to constant praise from his superiors and peers, not to mention his affiliation with the Primonarch. His ego began to feed on the attention and his judgement subsequently suffered, causing him to make irrational decisions on duty for the sake of maintaining his 'heroic' image.

Misguided by his rising self esteem, Kon inadvertently caused the Whispering War of 1750. Amidst the growing unrest in Satus, Rorym personally tasked Kon with delivering orders to Steedshead Fort on the south coast of E'hnurvian, across from the Satese state of Quaydesh. Though he wasn't permitted to read the orders ahead of the recipient, Rorym told him to act only as transport due to the sensitive nature of the mission, that was at most, for reconnaissance and needed to be kept secret. Upon his arrival at the Fort, he was responsible for transporting the team into Quaydesh and back once they'd completed their mission.

Resignation
During Tias' reign, Kon was asked to helm the Primonarch's ship to the Battle of Grey Bastion, a request he promptly denied. Reflecting on the numerous mistakes he made over his career, Kon elected to use his skills as a pilot to map out the uncharted Lands of Eons Shallow, something that was practically impossible without a well-stocked ship. Tias gave him command of a ship originally designed to be his personal vessel, Silvercrown, and pardoned him for his mistakes. Kon set off on his voyage some months later, aided by a strong crew and talented cartographers. After passing beyond the Sunken Shores of Gallnack, all contact would be lost.

In 1801, Tias' daughter and indirect successor, Kadyyn, would find a package from Kon originally intended for her late father, who never received it after the events of the Staigus reign. Opened and unfurled, it was a map of the lands beyond Eia. It was detailed enough to show basic topography and where more inhabitable lands lie, quaintly labeled ''Ralidusia. On a faded note attached to the map read: "Skip, just as you always wondered, better than you ever imagined. Thank you for my wings, Uncle Kon."''

Aside from this package, Kon was never heard from again. His fate was unknown, but most assumed he lived out his days in Ralidusia, a sanctuary from his past.
