Basic Description​

The Broussard family is a Leutz-vixe family known for the hunting of abberants and it's darkwald family members. The family often travel to hunt aberrants, particularly vampires, and are paid for the removal of such beings. While this is what they are known for, it isn't their main form of income. Primarily they amass their wealth in lumber and shipbuilding. This effort is primarily headed by Yannick Broussard and his branch of the family.

Family History​

The Broussard family date back to the founding of Brissiaud when the family was Alt regalian. The family founded a coastal town, using the local resources to build up lumber mills and shipyards. The family developed great wealth in the city they now called Viernesse. Around 205 AC a coven of vampires raided Viernesse, burning buildings and killing or kidnapping many citizens. During this battle three Broussards were lost, including a child. Due to the massive loss of life, Sebastian Broussard's great grandfather, Simon Broussard, moved him and his children to Tigrunn where he trained along with his children to become Darkwald knights. While this occurred Simon's brother, Harold, rebuilt Viernesse with his children and their sister, Clara.
Over the years the family kept in contact, however Harold's great grandson, Richard, died with only a female child, Noelle. Due to the want to preserve the families hold on Viernesse, Sebastian sent his son Yannick to Marry Noelle -The two of them being third cousins. Though both Yannick and the quiet Noelle did not like the idea of marrying family -even if so distant- Sebastian insisted, thus giving Yannick full control over Viernesse by 281 AC. At this time Geoffrey Broussard had just finished his training as a darkwald knight and soon after Marceline did as well. Three years later Yannick and Noel's first child, Clotilde was born and unfortunately that same year Dahlia died to unknown causes. The family was heartbroken, especially Sebastian. His children were unsure as to what would come of the man as he seemed to completely break down in his grief. Due to his instability Geoffrey and Marceline convinced him to move to Viernesse with Yannick. Geoffrey and Marceline stayed in Tigrunn, continuing their service as Darkwald's.
Marceline and Geoffrey worked and found Marceline a husband in a fellow Darkwald knight, they putting together a maternal marriage with him as he was the only member of his family aside from a dying mother. A few years later something unexpected happened. Sebastian completely changed, becoming a jolly old man, proclaiming he had found love once again. What The family did not realize that this love was with a qadir woman by the name of Reine. Reine and Sebastian were soon married and had a daughter named Jasmine not long after. Around this time Marceline bore her first child as well and then a year later, Noelle bore her and Yannick's second child.
During this time Geoffrey also met and married fellow Darkwald, Minerva Bren and they had their first child, Geoffery the Second and later their second son, Maxime. The two brothers were very close but while learning to ride a horse, Maxime was bucked off and his leg was permanently injured, leaving him unable to fight
The family would eventually all return home to Viernesse as Sebastian grew senile. The family tried to keep strong during this time, being together, though still working as Darkwald's. During this time Geoffrey left home for a short time to fight in the Elven war of 302 where he was badly burned on one side of his face by an elven battlemage, causing him to have to return home. Geoffrey returned to Regalia to take part in the Elven war of 306 AC and become a soldier for the new Petty Kingdom of Mull, where the family now attempt to grow their wealth.
