Overview
He's a solidly built man of average stature, and his muscles are well-toned, his hands calloused. Yet Fiero is smooth of cheek and placid of demeanor. It's the eyes that carry all his intensity. He has a slave tattoo on his right shoulder.
Fiero has spent most of his life living two lives--a shamibelian slave by day, and a lord in exile at night. He spent his days bowing and scraping, learning to craft leather to make his master a profit, and his evenings learning to read and write as a Firan lord would, to learn Firan law and justice. He was a smart slave, who was soon put in charge of others, and even given a whip to be an overseer, and so sometimes he whipped men by day, and begged their forgiveness by the candle in the evening, all the while studying maps, sure that he would one day use those maps to bring his mother and his family to freedom. Now that he has tasted that freedom, Fiero is a bit overwhelmed. He is a sort most of the time, who grows painfully unnerved in the sight of Firan women. If he had the luxury, he would run away from every social gathering. But he knows, he has vowed to his mother, over and over again, that he will re-stake their claim as Sennets, and regain nobility in the Firan realms--a heritage that was lost to him, and honor denied him. After all, the only time when both of his selves were ever truthful in Ellish were when he learned to use a spear. The Shamibelians thought they were training him to raid, to fight with them, but now he will use his spear to make the ground run wet with their blood, and that shows in his eyes.
Life in Ellish
Youth
Fiero was born in Ellish during the spring of 16 A.U. to Geesha and Marthin Sennet. He was born into a life of slavery and servitude, despite the old noble blood that flowed through his veins. He was denied the life he was born to live - the life of a Nobleman. Fiero's childhood was spent living a double life. Bowing and scraping to his Shamibelian master by day and learning the ways of his people by night. Fiero would work from sunrise to sunset in the fields of Ellish, tending to the livestock and speaking the bestial language of the Shamibelians. He would then go home to the cottage that the Vitara had gifted his mother and begin his lessons in the history and ways of the Firan people. In his mother's cottage they only spoke firan, so that when they were free they would speak like the Nobles they were, without any trace of accent. Fiero took a particular interest in the laws and justice of the Firan people, committing them to memory and spending his days dreaming of a life where he was a free Lord who could preserve the laws and see that justice was served.
Teen Years
Fiero was a smart slave who was eventually put in charge of other slaves. He was given the position of Overseer and given a whip to ensure that the slaves did not slack in their duties. Fiero would spend his days whipping slaves and begging their forgiveness by night. He continued his education in firan literacy, language, and his new passion cartography. He would spend night after night pouring over maps convinced that one day he would need the knowledge of those maps to lead his beloved mother and family out of slavery and into a life of freedom.
Family Life
Nobility
Pia made the following judgment at Firan time: 04:08:46 AM on Tue Aug 4, in the year 36 A.U.:
Upon consideration of the evidence presented by Lady Geesha Sennet, I believe that she and her family are of the pure lineage they claim to be. The Griffon clan therefore celebrates the return of the noble Sennet family -- Lady Geesha, her children and grandchildren, and her husband. Let it be known that these are Griffon nobles who have braved captivity and returned to us to rejoin us with strength and honor. Lady Geesha is named the head of the noble Sennet family, which now includes Lord Marthin, Lady Marsi, Lord Fiero, Lord Galanthis, Lord Asishon, Lord Cletus, Lord Marsius and Lord Daemio.
Wife
During the spring of 37 A.U. Fiero was in the crowds enjoying an event hosted by Lady Xamori Teranzik and Lady Rianna Teranzik. During the course of the event Fiero was drawn to Lady Xamori, and spent the entire event watching her instead of the competition. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen and he had the overwhelming need to know her name.
After speaking with Lady Petrina Ista Aldrik he found out who she was and that she was a widow who had not remarried, but was betrothed to another. This gave Fiero hope, because she wasn't married yet and he vowed to himself that he would have her. He had to have her. Deciding that such an extraordinary beauty would not be impressed by anything ordinary, Fiero lept from the benches and scaled the side of the judge's booth. Much to the dismay of the crowds and especially Lady Rianna. However Lady Xamori seemed flattered and somewhat amused that a man would go out of his way just to introduce himself to her.
After that day the two were nearly inseparable and it wasn't long before they were best friends. They made sure to ALWAYS interact with one another in public due to Xamori's betrothal to Lord Esen Anirik of the Griffon clan. For whatever reason the arrangement between Xamori and Esen was at a complete standstill and Fiero saw it as the only opportunity that he would ever get to make Xamori his wife.
Taking a chance he confessed his love to Xamori and she returned the sentiment whole heartedly. Drunk on love and hope Fiero did what some would might consider foolish, he asked for a meeting with the Viceroy Lord Taleo Teranzik, Xamori's grandfather and Head of House. When Fiero sat down with Taleo he was honest about his feelings and his intent. The Viceroy drilled Fiero for hours about his past and his experiences. Whatever Fiero said must have convinced the Viceroy of his worth because not even a month later it was announced that the betrothal between Xamori and Esen was unsuccessful and therefore terminated. It was also announced that Fiero would have a chance to court and woo Lady Xamori for no less than 6 months.
To say that their courtship was a complete success is an understatement. Their feelings and respect for one another formed into an unshakable foundation that they would build the rest of their lives together on. After the 6 months, on October 9th, 37 A.U., Fiero and Xamori were wed in the Great Temple. Fiero took the last name Teranzik and joined the Bear Clan.
Children
Fiero had five children:
- Geeya
- Xerxes
- Kratos
- Alaric
- Fiera
When Fiero married Xamori he became step-father to Lady Nilara Teranzik. Fiero considers her to be his daughter and treats her no differently than his children by blood.

Deputy Clerk of the Clan Council
In February of 42 A.U. it was announced the Clan Leader Taria Oshta appointed Fiero to the position of Deputy Council Clerk of the Clan Council working along side Lord Empyrean Teranzik, Council Clerk. The responsibilities include maintaining all Clan Council records. It also includes making official announcements to the people in the aftermath of all Clan Council meetings of any information that can be disseminated to the people.
Sabine's Jewelry
Princess Selene got a message from a merchant that he came across a jeweled set that Queen Sabine wore during her Ceremony of Souls. A grand ball was organized by Her Honor Fidelia and Princess Selene. During the ball it was revealed by the merchant that he was robbed and the jewelry was stolen. Under interrogation the Merchant admitted that it was an attempt at ransom and that he was in on the robbery. He disclosed the location where he was to meet his fellows.
Fiero, Lady Sabiana, Lord Daemio, Lord Centurion Zeynus, Centurion Rinzik, and Sentry Ezekeus all set out to ambush the house where the other thieves were said to be hiding. Fiero and Rinzik found the jewelry, but they did not find any thieves, unfortunately. Fiero actually held the jewelry in his hands and it was a life changing experience for him. The mere idea of holding something that was actually touched by Sabine was more than Fiero could wrap his mind around.
The jewelry was returned to Her Honor Fidelia Ista Aldrik, and Fiero was honored to be apart of rescuing and returning such precious items.

Scandals
Miscellany
Likes
- Hounds - Fiero has taken a great affection to the hound animals introduced to the masses sometime in 41 A.U. He feels that they are incredibly intelligent animals who serve a great many purposes. It's rumored that he keeps guard dogs in various locations and loves to take a large pack of dogs out for hunting.
Dislikes
- Slavers - For obvious reasons Fiero hates slavers passionately. Beware to any who cross his path.
- Half Shamibelians - Fiero hates and mistrusts anyone who is tainted by Shamibelian blood. He knows that it is not the fault of the Half Shamibelian, and that they are often the product of rape, but it doesn't matter. He is a firm believer that the taint of Shamibelian blood is enough to corrupt and destroy any goodness within. If he had his way everyone with even a drop of Shamibelian blood would be destroyed.
- Twins - Shamibelians revere twins, and so naturally Fiero detests them. Fiero has been heard to comment that if his wife ever had twins he would see both children put to death, to ensure that the soulless one was destroyed. Better safe than sorry he says.
