Ryon Sarrin

Ryon Arthur Sarrin (born on the 2nd Day of the Dvunscan Moon, 1335PDD) was an Alvian politician and military leader who served as Member of Parliament for the City of Whaplode from 1359 to 1366 and later served as Valkorion in the Alvian Army during the War of the Two Alliances from 1366 until 1340. Ideologically an Alvian Meritocrat and general Anti-Imperialist, Sarrin was regarded in Parliament as 'the only rebellious Traditionalist in the House' and was then hailed as an uncompromising war hero after he had left office in the name of retribution for Lady Regent Colette Whitton.

Sarrin was born in Whaplode, the only child of famous patriarch Arthur Sarrin and esteemed author Estemia Sarrin, both immigrants from Avery's Isle. Growing up in the City of Industry was hard for Sarrin, as the Averian ethnicity was considered a loathsome minority in the same vein as the Alder Folk; his education at Whaplode School for Boys was one peppered with racism and isolation, ingraining within him a bitter cynicism. By the time he had left at fifteen, Sarrin had become fiercely independent and held considerable potential as his father's successor in Parliament. This prospect ended, however, when he met Rachael Rostahl. Their short marriage ended due to Rostahl succumbing to the Danselli Influenza in 1356, propelling Sarrin into a year of anger and chaotic grief. His father ordered him to enlist at Lasthurst Officer Academy in order to teach the young man discipline. Sarrin served in the United Dominions of Alvian Kolistika for five years, leaving only weeks after receiving his promotion to captain.
