Antoine Quickmark

Antoine Quickmark became a marksman long before he ever joined the High Guard. As a boy in Wildehail, he learned that lesson on the day a starving vampire found him and his best friend. While Zane Feerskar faced death from the Fogholt Plague, Antoine faced a different choice: flee or fight. He chose to fight. Armed with a borrowed Grimhunter bow and a sharpened stake, he struck down the creature that had turned his friend, a shot he still remembers with unsettling clarity.
  Now a sharpshooter of the High Guard in Skygarde, Antoine is known for his calm hands and patient aim. He carries himself with quiet discipline, though those closest to him know he is far more stubborn than reserved. When nearly everyone else abandoned Zane after his transformation, Antoine refused. He gave the vampire a place in his family's home and remained loyal through years of suspicion and loss. The deaths of his parents only strengthened that resolve. Many guards trust Antoine because he is dependable; few realize that every difficult choice in his life was made decades ago, standing over the body of a dead vampire with his only friend still breathing beside it.
 
  32 High Guard sharpshooter.
  Currently living in Skygarde.
  Childhood friends with Zane Feerskar.
  Antione was the only one that who Zane told that Zane was dying from the Fogholt Plague. Both 12 at the time.
  When Zane and Antoine were attacked by a hungry vampire, the dying boy told his friend to run.
  Antoine watched as his best friend got turned by the vampire.
  Antoine found a bow and a sharpened wooded stake and shot the monster, he struck it right in the heart. The bow belonged to the Grimhunters.
  Amazingly, Zane's body was purged of the Fogholt Plague once he became a vampire.
  Antione was one of the few that did not disown the boy. Even Zane's parents left him.
  Both lived in Wildehail at this time. It's where they were born.
  Zane moved in with the Quickmark's. 4 years later, Antoine's parents both died in the line of duty with the Wild Men.
  Antoine's father had arrangements for Antoine to leave for Skygarde so he could begin training with the High Guard.
  Zane would not be allowed into the High Guard but he still left with Antoine because he had no one left in Wildehail.
