Ratislav belongs to an ancient Tyrian house, whose family estate was devastated during the terrible war with demons. Almost all of his ancestors perished in a horrific fire; only one of them managed to survive that black day.
The child was discovered under the roof of a collapsed shed by surviving townspeople, who took him in and saved him from imminent death. Nevertheless, remaining in Tyria was simply impossible, and kind people originally from Heligkait departed with a small caravan toward the west.
In Heligkait, the boy agreed to say a prayer to Lucian and embrace faith in him rather than in other Tyrian gods, who were unpopular and practically forgotten during those turbulent times.
The war with demons continued for many decades; as a growing youth, he happened to participate in many bloody battles, in which he managed to stay alive only by a miracle. After the war ended, he decided to embark on a dangerous journey to the western lands, for nothing held him in Heligkait and his homeland had been practically wiped off the face of the earth. On the way, he met a Tyrian sorceress possessing numerous magical abilities, and it is no surprise that mutual sympathy between them soon grew into something more.
There is no need to describe all the hardships they endured during this arduous journey. By its end, the warrior, his wife, and two small children decided to settle in places now belonging to the domains of Dal Duran. They did not abandon their faith in Lucian, whom they consider their sole and true patron. Furthermore, it has now become a common custom in their lineage to study healing magic and train in skills with own two-handed weapons, an ability which is in the blood of every Tyrian.
Ratislav's ancestors fought sacredly for the purity of the blood of their small people and house; that is why it became their custom to choose partners from similarly noble and respected Tyrian families living in Dal Tarren and other regions of the New World. In addition to all the above, it should be noted that longing for a long-forgotten homeland left far to the east gradually turned into hatred among the Tyrians toward any spawn of darkness, as well as anyone associated with them. Young warriors undergo mandatory training at the academy of healers in Dal Shabet, after which they are initiated into the basic canons and customs of the Alissandrian church, although they do not directly recognize this denomination, only its core ideas.
Beyond all this, it is unclear whether magical abilities can be inherited, but occasionally people possessing some gift for elemental magic appear in Ratislav's lineage. Although most still recognize only healing magic and despise dark and secret sorcery, they agree that "one must learn to use their talents in the right channel." This is why there is nothing wrong with such "exceptions" undergoing additional training at the academy of Dal Amen.
Ratislav was born last among four children and began showing extraordinary magical abilities almost from birth. His parents had no choice but to send him for training to Khontai, where he learned to control certain spells of elemental magic, using them to his maximum advantage. After this, the young warrior underwent the highest training at the academy of Healers and also learned masterful handling of a two-handed sword.
Ratislav managed to participate in several battles with the states of the Old World, although this was not received by his family with great enthusiasm. His parents did not understand how, after only some four centuries, people could once again be capable of going to war against each other and brotherly nations become truly irreconcilable enemies. But their son had long since ceased to be a child, and they were unable to decide anything for him.
Finally, the war drew near its end, and Ratislav was released home. His parents immediately began searching for a suitable partner for the "great hero," which he, of course, did not consider himself to be. His heart craved new clashes, new battles, and so he immediately seized the only such opportunity when he learned about an expedition to the wild lands planned by an organization unknown to him called Silnevknight. The very next day, the Tyrian gathered all necessary belongings and, under the sad gazes of his seeing-off relatives, set out on his way...
Ratislav, no longer young but far from old, a warrior around thirty years of age, is proficient with a two-handed sword, healing magic, and several elemental spells, which he prefers not to use very often, of course. He is not particularly talkative, although quite friendly toward all who are not connected to dark gods, demons, or other unholy creatures. Ratislav views war as something necessary, though he much more gladly prefers fighting dark creatures rather than other people.
Ratislav is not especially intelligent, though by no means stupid; he is often very presumptuous, overly brave and self-confident, relying exclusively on his own skills in battle rather than the help of friends. He does not particularly like mages or those who fight from a distance in general, considering such acts cowardly and underhanded. He values melee warriors far more.
Ratislav believes that conversation and diplomacy can only be applied to other representatives of the human race, and even then only to those who have not chosen some demon from the underworld as their deity. With others, the conversation should be extremely short: first a total freeze, and then a powerful strike with a two-handed sword.
