History

Recent Years

In 1208 Sandre won his sigil from Garvonn, and championed an Eremite Magus named Gregory in a Certamen duel against another Eremite, Kikas.

In 1207 Sandre discovered a pack of infernal spiders.

In 1205 Sandre and Godwyn investigated the tower that was once the covenant of Stellaspur.

In the Winter of 1204, Sandre and Caballus traveled to Avebury and destroyed the ghost of an infernal sorcerer, as well as battling several minor infernal forces.

In Spring 1203, Sandre assisted Fredegisa by investigating some stolen goods bound for Voluntas. Sandre was successful in retrieving the goods, and one of the culprits is in mundane custody.

Sandre and Caballus fought the infernal sorcerer Seleucus, and captured several documents which spoke of the Infernal Plot.

Early years as a Magus

Shortly after becoming a Magus of the Order, Sandre traveled to Stranggore to stay for a season as a guest. At the end of the season, Sandre was offered the opportunity of membership at Stranggore and accepted. I

n his first few years, Sandre came into conflict with two members of the Crimson Brotherhood, and beaten a third in the Certamen Tournament. He is not thought of well by this covenant, and he does not think well of them either.

Sandre and his family were briefly in touch after he became a full Magus, but he avoids contact whenever possible. However this is difficult whenever Sandre travels near his fathers lands.

Apprenticeship

Sandre was apprenticed to Garvonn a magus of Amici Britanniae. Sandre passed his gauntlet on his first try, but did not win his sigil from Garvonn until the 1208 tribunal. At the fall tribunal he won his sigil from Garvonn, whom he knocked unconscious in the third round of certamen, due to the use of a considerable amount of vis.

Early Years

Born William de Gallios, Sandre is a son of the Duke of Bedford, a Norman. Sandre's gift was discovered very early in his life and his father, ever looking for power and advantage, was quick to give him up as an apprentice of the Order by the time he was 5.
