The Van Markham Templar of Hightown
Join Caspian Van Markham-Vael!
Chapter 1 by Ragnockae136
Kirkwall, the site of the Initial uprising that fucked Circle Politics, Destroyed Order and unleashed Hell upon the World, no there is a new Knight-Commander of the Kirkwall Templars, Caspian Van Markham-Vael! He is the Illegitimate son of the late King of Starkhaven and a Van Markham Princess. And to avoid Family Scandal he joined the Templars, something he excelled at, he was a Master Combatant and Mage-Hunter, but never relished it, Make no mistake he loved a Good Fight as much as the next guy, same as a good hunt for game, but Mage-Hunting he never Enjoyed, to him it was just another reason why the Circles needed Change, and when he was a Knight-Lieutenant he had enough sway to convince the Templars to take a stand against the Stannard, and they stood against Mad Meredith with Champion and his Sister, whom Caspian had long felt a Mutual Attraction.
He was already married to Flora Harriman, but he loved Bethany, he only Married Flora because it would being the Vael Family back to Power in Starkhaven, he had impregnated her months ago and named her Princess of Starkhaven, thus enabling his Paternal line to continue. Caspian had responsibilities both here and at Starkhaven, and he had to negotiate an Alliance with Hercinia, Ostwick, Tantervale, and Ansburg in order to protect Kirkwall and rebuild it, he was practically Viscount in all but name and the Nobility had been trying to that on him as soon as he got the Harbor up and running. He had one of the largest Armies at his beck and Call, had Abundant Wealth, and Was a Man with extremely Politically useful Connections, in other words a Perfect Viscount.
He used his political connections to aid in Relief and rebuilding Efforts, his Templar Connections to Get more Former Templars to join his White Templars, Templars who were separate from the So-Called Red Templars. While also using his Nobility to Keep the Vultured at Bay. He knew it couldn't last however and the Inquisition's Victories would help, he knew Varric was a close Personal Friend of the Inquisitor, so that Could Prove Useful, But This was all Pointless, Caspian had Shit to deal with and speaking of Which he had to increase Security.
