Personal History
Ragdar was born on the Island of _______. He joined the military just as his father had before him, he met his wife while he was still in the Young Soldier's School. He was a good student, obedient, quick to learn, and observant. He soon became an equally promising soldier. He served as a foot soldier for many years until his talent as a leader was noticed and he was promoted up to a sergeant.

Ragdar served faithfully during the chaos that ensued after the Dark Lord's return. His unit was sent to hold a fort to the South of Austragauth. When his unit arrived things were quiet but after a short while they were swarmed by a horde of the Dark Lord's undead minions. During the battle, which they eventually won, Ragdar's Captian and First Sergeant were slain and as the next ranking officer he took command of the troops. For the next two nights he held the fort and kept his unit together without sustaining too many casulties given the situation. They were out-manned and under resourced. But on the third day a contengent of Dragonborn soldiers joined them and with their help held the fort and made it safe for future use. After hearing of his actions at the fort and him being the current ranking officer Ragdar's superiors promoted him to Captian of his unit and filled his ranks. With this he named Balasar, his most trusted war-brother and fellow Sergeant at the time, as his second in command and First Sergeant. From that point on his unit proved invaluable to the Austraguathian front against Yuan's forces.
