Ryven Krennel (Character)

Ryven Krennel, nee Haijikioten, is a Caldari of the Civire. He was born in YC 80 to a mercenary captain by the name of Kalus Haijikioten and his wife, ex-pirate Seela Kalevestra. tragically, both were killed during an unsanctioned raid on a mining colony in Pure Blind. Ryven's parents were posthumously tried for war crimes and in a compassionate move by the Caldari State, Ryven became a ward of the Servant Sisters of Eve, who magnanimously cared for him in an orphanage. He was, unfortunately, his father's son, and was nearly always fighting with the other orphans in the orphanage. His parentage was kept a secret from him, though, and this only increased the child's rebellious tendencies. The Sisters were at the end of thier rope and ready to leave him to his fate on the streets of the nearest Caldari settlement when a compassionate Gallente man, staying at the Sisters station, saw promise in the child and offered to sponsor him. His name was Ballieu Krennelle. Ryven took to his new father figure, and anxiously awaited visits from this kind stranger.

        Eventually, Ryven grew to be a teenager, and the Sisters deemed it time to tell him of his past.  They sought his last surviving relative, Titus Haijikioten, a mercenary captain of some repute.  Titus came and met the boy, told him of his parents, and offered him a position on the crew of his Raven class battleship, the Glorious Tavil-Toba.  Ryven accepted and began his adulthood at age 16 on the gundeck of a Caldari battleship.
