Jonasien Argyll

Jonasien Argyll is a captain of the city of Bravil. Second-in-command to Jontius Carus.

Biography:
Jonasien Argyll (Jon or Jonah for unformally) was born in 4E 177, in Daggerfall. For the first three years of Jonasien's life he remained here, until his parents, merchants by trade, decided that they would sell off what things they own to start a new trade business and left for the heart of the Empire. They settled briefly in Anvil and then Skingrad but eventually settled in Bravil. Jon grew a love for his new home. He was always athletic from an early age, and was infatuated with the idea of becoming a soldier. As a boy he served as a stable boy in Bravil castle. In his late teens, he finally coaxed his parents into letting him join the Imperial ranks.

At the age of 18 he joined the Legion. It wasn't long before the outbreak of the Jorane Rebellion, an embarrassing conflict which took the Empire by surprise. The prospect of war was exciting for young Argyll, however this war was more complicated than previous ones, such as the Great War, or the Stormcloak Rebellion. The rebels, led by the Dunmer Goriyn Mortis, attacked like lightening, fast and vicious, but before the Imperials could draw their swords the enemy had vanished. A string of attacks, skirmishes and ambushes broke out in the North and North-East of Cyrodiil.

One after another, villages and hamlets were overrun and burnt. Imperial legates and generals were irritated, there was no standing army to fight against, all they could do was sit and wait for the enemy to come. However, after getting word that a band of rebels were heading South towards Leyawiin from the mountains near Cheydinhal, Commander Jontius Carus of Bravil assembled a shock troop of 200 soldiers, Jonasien was one of them. They traveled with haste, over the Niben and toward the rebel camp. Roughly 300-400 rebels, a lot of them poorly armed and trained lay encamped near an Aylied ruin. The Imperials attacked and quickly overran the Rebels, who were mostly killed after the attack itself in the rout. Although the rebel commander escaped, his second in command was captured and executed in Bravil. For his actions he was promoted to lieutenant. The offensive was somewhat successful, but of little relevance. The rebels that were beaten were mostly new recruits, with the exception of a few dozen well trained rebels. He eventually rose to the rank of Captain, second in command to Bravil's Commander, Jontius Carus.

Jonasien is unwavering loyal to his home city of Bravil, although likable and generally warm, he is a vicious fighter.
