History

Cosmo was the eldest son of King Ild'hin Yosen, known as the Redeemer and his young bride Agenys Anzale. Agenys was only fourteen years old when she had her first son and the two became best friends, finding solace from the hectic world around them. Agenys had two daughters, Paulina and Phaedra, but could not seem to have anymore living sons. Young Arrian was twelve when his father was fatally injured in a battle against Samvor Raysdel. With his mother five months pregnant, 12-year-old Arrian became King of the Brass. When his brother Liam was born, King Arrian threw a celebration in his honor. Agenys was able to watch her son's reign for almost two hundred years before an attack by Kahn Samdynu was launched. Agenys was killed in the attack and Arrian has never forgiven the Samdynu nest for the attack.

Preferan Ulonra was beginning to look for a suitable match for his daughter, Cinika. The much older Arrian couldn't stand for any of the other nests, who were all ruthless at the time, to snare this innocent girl. He offered to accept her as his wife and Preferan, knowing Arrian to be the political powerhouse he was, took the offer quickly. After being married for three hundred years, Arrian and Cinika had their only child, Sebastian.
