Cleeve Dye/ Benedict Coggshall

One of the First individuals to encounter Montana during his initial debut into Vuldranni, Benedict Coggeshall met Montana in the guise of Cleeve Dye.

Stalwart and honorable, Benedict/ Cleeve cultivated a relationship with Montana in his early weeks in Vuldranii, quickly sussing out Montana's hidden nature and deeply affecting the otherworlder with his paternal character. Cleeve eventually revealed his true name to Montana, along with his true mission and history as a Legionnaire.

For tying his life-force to the Emperor Cleeve/ Benedict was given the opportunity to claim a Dukedom for his family line of Coggeshall. As the final Scion of his house Benedict was searching for an heir to pass on the title and Dukedom once his, and subsequently the Emperors, inevitable death came to pass.

His offer To adopt Montana as his son and heir, was first met wit reluctance but eventual acceptance. Cleeve and Montanas relationship continued to deepened as Father and son, a true feeling of fealty beginning to pass between the two as they struggled to finish the journey that would end in reward.

Benedict eventually claimed the dukedom, but not half a day later was killed in an act of treachery, leaving Montana as the new Duke of Coggeshall, and feeling for the first time in either  of his lifes truly fatherless.
