Vespasien Séverin

Biographical summary:
Vespasien was born to a middle class family of wine makers, and bar owners, whom happened to drink as heavily as most drunks at the bar. Vespasiens father was quite impersonal with him, and sent him off to become an apprentice, although more like servant, of a local gentleman and statesman named Jacques Rousseau, at age six. As Jacques was gone from town half the time, Vespasien was sent to work for his future friend and mentor Paul Perreault, the local catholic minister down the road. Vespasian was taught scholarly pursuit, chivalry, and basic statesmanship from Jacques, and his devout religious beliefs, a decent Latin understanding, and his loyalty from Father Perreault. As soon as he turned the age of sixteen, Vespasien ran off to join the french army, only taking the clothes on his back, a few franks from Perreault, and his personal Latin Bible. In the army, Vespasien would see The war of polish succession (1733–1738), and, The war of Austrian succession (16 December 1740 – 18 October 1748). In his service to the crown, he was given the command of a unit of line infantry in 1741, until the end of his career in 1749. Vespasien was a minor war hero in his town of Lyon, and somewhat led to a boost in volunteers in the local area. Also during the war, Vespasian grew be desensitized to war and bloodshed, and would regularly carry out whippings and unusual punishment (ex: Forcing them to march with no shoes), for any man who decided to flee the battle. With his collected payment for his years of service, now scarred and bitter, he decided to invest in The french India company, and was given the governorship of Chandernagor because of his experience in statesmanship, and his war experience in the army. He currently is overseeing the building of the trade city in north india. He is known for his strict, but just, punishments, and his persistent, (but respectful), conversion of the populace, with the establishment of several Jesuit schools and missions in the town and local area.
