Coming from a long line of nobles, serving the house of Kilgour and the kingdom of Mobrin in general. Thus earning themselves a plot of land, in which would be known as Kincaid land. Nothing huge but what they offered was enough to offer a profit for their liege, which was beneficial for the Kincaids in allowing them to stay without issues. As they had a few good things going. Such as stone quarry and also some mine. This continuing to bring success to the house, if not huge.
This would continue for several generations. And finally reaching it's current head, Baron Reginald Abedazer Wuold of Ashenward. A man with different ideas and views on things. An inventor and engineer set on developing new things for his kingdom to use. Both in time of peace as well as time of war.
Born to his parents Baron Homer Wuold and baroness Cynthia Wuold nee Kincaid. A sister of the, now, late Duke Daemon Kincaid. Growing up Abe was a rather calm child. Though with a tendancy to rant and just generally talk fast. Especially when he got worked up about something. Treated well by his parents as the first child they treated him a bit to make him slightly spoiled perhaps. Becoming quite the picky eater and also doing a bit as he wish. When he was still young he got a gift from an ambassador from a visiting kingdom. Just a small brooch. But since then he has kept it. It would create one of his hobbies, finding and collecting different items and artifacts. Starting small when he was young but even into his teens he would have a couple things in his collection already.
He always was smart as he grew up, enjoing a lot of different board games and puzzle. Not getting to play them enough to be skillful but enough to be decent at a lot of things. Even trying outdoors activity such as colf. Though non that need quick movements.
It was thought of him to become a knight. But getting motion sick from riding was not a good sign. Nor could he move and spin all too much without getting quite dizzy.
Even though he started showing his skills in engineering, crafting and mostly just inventing things it was not until he got a bit older that it was taken more seriously. Starting to design things for his own enjoyment. Using his skill and such to build different things. From miniature versions of warmachines to tools and similar. Though since they were not the wealthiest of families he could not always get everything he wished for. Therefore occasionally snuck away to make trades to get what he needed. This being even more relevant from other countries and kingdoms as he got sent away to study under a man in Weston. Seeing as they were one of the main places for technological advancements.
As he grew older and soon to take over the house he had started to create connections to smuggle things from all over the kingdom, and even from other kingdoms. Even starting to learn to forge things, though not having been something he's needed a lot of. He's been good at covering his tracks about such things. Especially these days as people do not quite even ask much about that. Seeing as he s one of the man benefactors to the development of things.
Abe was married before becoming the head of house. Marrying a lady from a smaller house, lady Jamine Riverwynd. Finally becoming the new Baron with the demise of his father. Soon after his mother passed away as well. With this new control and power he did enjoy to use his connections and all of his skills to take advantage of what he could do. They had been starting to invent things even before he took over, as well as designing and making things and not just blueprints. It was not until now that his skills fully spread throughout the kingdom. Though all of ambition did lead to an accident as he was doing an experiment. Causing a fire in their home which lead to the death of his pregnant wife. Causing him to turn a bit grumpier, though also more focused on his work. More and more he would seem like an old man. Even in the fact that he wished to uphold a lot of traditions, despite the fact that he broke several other ones by making these inventions.
With things being a bit shaky with the Laniveers Abe has been having his hands busy with creating things for the kingdom. The barony doing alright. Keeping steady but not growing too much. They have been in good relations to their liege Kincaid due to their skills though. But with the war the baron himself have left, leaving the barony to be looked after by the remainders of his family, to go to Darfield. Talks of having a place set up near, or in, Stormvale for him to continue with his inventions and developments. Leading men to create things. At least during these times of need. Hopefully this will also be a good thing for the barony in a whole, and his family.
Though he is also still needing to keep his own bloodline going. With the death of his wife, him becoming quite isolated and workaholic and finally that he is getting older, time might be running out for his heritage to go on from his own offspring unless he does something about it.
