House of Bellomont

The House of Bellomont is the name of a influential, large family dynasty that is currently vying for total control of the world. They were once an important part with the World Government, the former superpower that governed the world.

654 Years Ago
The family started from a respected merchant named Baldwin Bellomont, over 600 years ago. He was very kindhearted and beloved and was known to possess veneration and love to collect treasures and artifacts from the world. The World Government took an interst with the man and was offered to join the world government. He agreed and saw it as a means to improve his own lifestyle and the ability to begin a family. He demonstrated his skills in a special examination and was noted for his agility and strength, especially from a merchant. He was recommended to become a Marine Captain and gained noteworthy respect from many people. He continued to be a merchant despite his position within the Marines. He eventually found a wife, a socialite with connections with the World Nobles named Maria Theresa, and married her. The couple bore four children and accumulated a large quantity of money, part of which was from Baldwin's trading.

Inner Conflict
For the past hundreds of years, the family grew exponentially huge that it was impossible to know the exact number of members it possessed, making it seem to show that the Bellomont Family became one of the most expansive families in the world. Not only were they expansive, but they were also very wealthy. The wealth that the family has accumulated is unknown. However, this has led to an raised eyebrow by the World Government, seeing them as a potential threat to their existence. The House of Bellomont has managed, regardless, to maintain their finances through careful talks with the World Government, assuring them that they have utmost loyalty to them. At a certain point, they began to discuss about who has legitimate ownership over their family's wealth, especially since this issue had never been brought up by the first six generations of the Bellomont family. About 78 Years Ago, the Patriarch of the Family, Godard Bellomont, decided to pass the wealth to the eldest son of the family. However, most of the family criticized this type of method since there were many sons and children that would be considered the heir. However, this changed 25 Years Later when Godard's body was found in the family mansion. Accusations have gone around to discover who the murderer was. No one came forward until another murder was committed, possibly as a revenge killing to the death of the Patriarch. This marked the severing of relations with certain members of the Bellomont family and initiated an internal conflict that has continued up to the present day. The World Government stepped in because of the countless amount of people killed in the crossfire of the violence. They declared that until there is a legitimate heir to the House of Bellomont, the family's wealth would have to be locked and stored in a secure location. It was locked up on an independent island that was in the midst of an inhospitable climate and sea region that made travel to the location impossible. This greatly angered all of the members of the family dynasty and has grown a great disgust with the World Government, which would inevitebly lead to their overthrow.
