Background |
|
Xavier is the fourth son of the Ritter Dieter von Hirst, a minor noble in the state of Nuln who once served with distinction but is now retired, holding a sinecure in the local militia and raising horses. The Ritter married Clothilde Bruck, the beautiful, intelligent and flighty second daughter of a rich local merchant. Xavier's eldest brother Rickhardt is the arrogant sophisticate of the family, who takes after his mother. Rickhardt, 25, now carries most of the responsibility of running the von Hirst estate and is intent on raising the family's wealth and position in Nuln. The twins, Gerhardt and Gottfried, 22, are the image of their father in his youth, big bluff hearty soldiering types who are off serving as troopers in the Reiksgard. Xavier, 20, was for a short time the baby of the family, being supplanted by his sister Mathilde, now a bright and brattish 14-year-old whom their mother dotes on. Mathilde has been spoilt rotten, and the other brothers always did well, but the Ritter and his wife never knew quite what to do with quiet, shy Xavier, who seemed much more like his mother's sister than his mother. So Xavier ended up spending most of his time with his aunt, a kindred spirit who recognized in him the mirror of her own love of learning. (Gunhilde is a priestess of Verena.) It was she who encouraged him to attend the Academy at Nuln, where he first read History, until his interest in the classics led him to seek a scholarship to read Languages at Altdorf University under Edvard Sapir and Klaus von Chomsky. Xavier inherited a pale, washed-out version of his mother's good looks, pale blue eyes and blond hair. He is still a very quiet person, except when talking about his studies, and hides an idealistic vision of the preeminence of truth under a cynical pragmatism. |
