Early Life
Lewis Pontegnone grew up in the Avergnonian coastal city of Montellogne. He was born to Velaeur and Mercia Pontegnone, two Central-Class citizens of the Montellognian city-state. They were a rather prominent and respected (although not entirely wealthy) family under the service of Trade-Prince Barthias Montellogne. Lewis’ father, Velaeur, was a respected Staff-Sergeant serving in the 13th Montellognian Highlanders Division and particularly distinguished himself during the Battle of Aveirs (July 22nd, 1712) . Unfortunately, Velaeur was killed in action at the age of 37 during the Siege of Fort Jeveilles (May 3rd, 1726) in the Western Trade Union Uprising. He is said to have been observing enemy fortifications along with a cavalry detachment, when a marksman’s musket shot managed to strike home in Velaeur’s neck. Lewis was 15 at the time of his father’s death, and his mother, Mercia, 31, never remarried.
