Byrk Raimahn

Byrk Raimahn was a Charisian citizen, expatriate, Charisian Irregular, Glacierheart militiaman, and officer of the Republic of Siddarmark Army.

The eldest grandson of Claitahn and Sahmantha Raimahn and a member of the Raimahn family, he was born in June, Year of God 875, and was an associate of Ahnzhelyk Phonda, a noted musician, and Reformist. He was orphaned at the age of eight when his parents were killed in an accident and taken in by his grandparents.

When the Schism between the Church of Charis and the Church of God Awaiting occurred, he and his grandparents relocated to the Charisian Quarter of Siddar City in the Republic of Siddarmark.

In November, Year of God 895, when the Sword of Schueler began its campaign to terror across the Republic, beginning the Siddarmark Civil War, Raimahn was able to convince his grandparents to flee the Charisian Quarter. When they and a small group of fellow Charisians refugees were unable escape their pursuers, Raimahn and several other men chose to sacrifice themselves so that the women and children in their party could reach safety. Raimahn, along with Sailys Trahskhat, were saved however by a squad of Rychtair's Charisian Irregulars led by Raif Ahlaixsyn. 

In March, Year of God 896, Raimahn, now a member of the Charisian Irregulars, with Trahskhat as his second-in-command, was sent on a mission to escort Archbishop Zhasyn Cahnyr's relief expedition to Glacierheart Province, leading a force of two hundred riflemen. Raimahn and his volunteers held the province until Brigadier Mahrtyn Taisyn and his force of Charisian Marines and Siddarmarkian pikemen could relieve them. 

Once relieved, Raimahn accepted command of the First Glacierheart Volunteers, a local militia raised by the Glacierhearters, and a commission in the Republic of Siddarmark Army with the rank of Colonel before September, Year of God 896. With Trahskhat remaining at his side as his second-in-command, Raimahn led the men of the First Glacierheart in Duke Eastshare's campaign in the South March Lands, including playing a pivotal role in the siege of Fort Tairys in Shiloh Province. 

Raimahn was promoted to the rank of Brigadier by June, Year of God 898, and elevated to command of the newly established Glacierheart Brigade.

In February, Year of God 899, Raimahn presided over the execution of Zhaspahr Clyntahn, former Grand Inquisitor of the Church of God Awaiting.
