Vice Admiral of the Blue Lord Ayren Lyandric Milen, Earl Tochi'larian of Deneve, was an Imperial Naval Officer and a lord of the Kurathene Empire. Born to one of the premier families in Imperial history, he was an influential political figure in his native Kurathene as well as being one of the leading naval tacticians of his day.
Born to the prominent Tochi'larian family, Ayren was groomed from an early age for military service like many of his ancestors and relatives. Acquiring rank and influence in his own right, Ayren served primarily as a naval officer and parliamentarian during his years of service. His renown as a prize-taker and frigate captain was such that he was known throughout the service as "Golden Prince" Milen. Though known primarily as a Kurathene noble, he saw service in a diverse range of theaters from the Imperial Navy to the M'Chekian fleet during the M'Chek-T'Nanshi War.
He is thought to have perished at the Battle of Hel'byssia, commanding his squadron of frigates against a shaahesk marauding fleet.
Family History
The earliest mention of the Tochi'larian family can be dated back to the late Kurathene Republic, where a newly established merchant family in northern Deneve was elected to the Republican Council. The family itself rose to prominence during the War for Reunification during the reign of Joral Kuras, when Lyandric Tochi'larian established himself as one of Joral's premier generals.
Granted the heriditary title of Prefect of Trenium, the Tochi'larian family continued to serve the Imperial Crown through the First and Second Kurathene Empires into the present day.
Ayren was the son of Akinor Lyandric Tochi'larian and Keira Milen. Ayren had two half-brothers, Syldric and Li'cinius (Lee) Tochi'larian born, and one cousin Harlan Tochi'larian (later the Marquess of Sargone)
As one of the ten prefectural families of the Kurathene Empire, Ayren could also trace his familial lineage through most of these families, with the most immediate connections being with the Kirkun, Arvanos, Clairvont and Alaran families.
Known for their distinct emerald eye color and green-blue hair, the Tochi'larian family was thought to have originated somewhere in the northern reaches of Tyedu, with a mix of fey and spiritkin blood somewhere in the early history of the family.
On the elven side, Ayren is the son of Keira Milen, descended from a line of elven wine-makers and nobles. His uncle Si'del Milen was known as a hero of T'Nanshi for his role in banishing the Woarghschadeugh, until his exile for disagreeing with the war policies of the Council of Nine. He had one cousin serving in the T'Nanshi Army, and two aunts from the Milen side of the family.
Early Life
Born in Denevier Manor as the eldest son of Akinor Tochi'larian, Ayren was groomed from an early age to be a worthy heir to the traditions of the Kurathene Empire and the Tochi'larian family.
