Affiliations

 Considering where Aquila grew up and what happened to his mother by Soldiers of one of the seven kingdoms, and witnessing their destruction, Aquila feels no loyalty to any of the royal houses. His loyalty lies in nature, his fellow magical creatures and magic users who are unjustly prosecuted for how they are born. His compassion also goes to the poor, who suffer because of the fight for power between the deadly seven houses. In the end, it is unlikely that any house would win his loyalty, but just maybe, if they prove themselves to be good...

Bio

 Aquila was the product of rape, some soldiers form one of the seven houses, after wining a battle nearby, they went to celebrate in the surrounding villages. So they came upon Cattleya, a beautiful raven haired young woman, whom was delivering supplies to the tavern. They followed her home, and once finished with her they left battered and broken on the forest floor. She found the forest creatures coming to her aid, and they continued to help her through out her pregnancy. When Aquila was born, Cattleya did not know what to do, so, in a moment of depression and sadness, she took the child out into the forest, to leave him and let nature take its course. But before she could place him down, a great eagle flow down to the forest floor. The eagle looked at her, and seemed to shake her head, and then she flew away, and as she did so, the eagle's young child joined her. In this small encounter, Cattleya felt her love for this child as she looked into warm brown eyes, and knew his name, and that he was hers, and would not be like his unknown father.

He grew up in the forest where his mother and family had lived for many years. His mother was as supporting as any mother could be, but serious if he showed any signs of being a bad apple, being defiant, leaving suddenly and for long periods of times, etc. He rarely disobeyed, all he wanted was to make his mother proud, make her happy, and so he sang for her. Ever since the tender age of six, he would sing for her, songs he wrote himself, songs already written. But what she truly loved was Opera, she had taken him once to see someone do it, and the sparkle in her eyes, and sound of the hauntingly moving melody, was when Aquila decided to be the greatest Opera singer in the world. And he saw himself seeing the world, performing for anyone who would listen. So he practiced, he snuck into performances, had the smartest and most powerful man in the village get him anything to do with the Opera, for when he heard him sing, he was moved, and wanted to see this young boy make it to massive heights. In between him learning the Opera, he would play with the other children in the village, and set loose the animals. For like his mother, he could talk to animals like they were humans, and communicate with trees and plants, in a different way, a more emotion based way. His mother never disproved. She then tried to teach him magic, but he failed miserably. Aquila had no talent for real magic, he could only seem to do that basics, lighting a candle, blowing it out, moving a pebble, making water ripple. He did manage low level healing, and is good at illusions, mostly of magical creatures.
