Born as the second son of a wealthy owner of a horse ranch, Gante believed that he would inherit his family's fortunes, and no one would say that there is one in the ranch who worked harder than Gante. But when Reblore, his deviant older brother returned home and massacred everyone, his father had him escape on his father's favorite steed through the secret tunnels, along with a considerable amount of wealth his father keeps in his personal possession and his great-grandfather's diary - which his father believes is what his elder brother is after. Wrought with despair, he rode aimlessly and languished in fear and grief, and wept till there's nothing left in his heart but the burning to desire to avenge his family. With this new resolve, he spurred his horse onward, searching for a town where he can stock himself with supplies. The Gods are not yet done though with toying with his life. He had been travelling for days, avoiding monsters and foraging for food. Riding along a trail, weak from hunger and thirst, he passed out. When he woke up, he is sleeping in a rather comfy bed. He was saved, by chance or fate, by a cavalier who, in trying to learn who he was, found the diary and discovered that it is actually about his grandfather's exploits as a renowned cavalier of the order of the Cockatrice, to which Order his savior also belongs to. When he had a chance read the diary, he marvelled at his great-grandfather's deeds of derring-do but wondered why that would cause his brother to murder his own family. Quyote, the flamboyant cavalier who found him, brought him under his wing and taught him the ways of the Order, which in no way matches his character or his great-grandfather's character for that matter, as frequently told to them by his father during the long harsh winter nights. In a skirmish with monsters, he received a superficial wound and some of his blood fell to the diary which absorbed it and momentarily transformed the pages, revealing secrets in the forging of a weapon described as so powerful, he realized this is the reason why his evil brother is looking for it. He then also came to a realization as to why his great-grandfather joined the Order, to waylay the evil forces bent on getting a hold of this wonderful yet dangerous secret. Now, as a full-pledged cavalier of the Order of Cockatrice, he set out to make a name for himself, and to forge the weapon his brother is after and use it not only to avenge his family but also to rid of the evil forces searching for it.
