Linvin Grithinshield is the protagonist in “Quest for the Red Sapphire.” 
He is half elf and half human, having a human father (Dirk Grithinshield) and an
elven mother (Jelena Greenlith-Grithinshield) Linvin is an only child of an
increasingly affluent family.  When he is about 12 years old, his parents
find out something that changes his life forever.  His father will not
explain the situation other than to say that Linvin will someday be in a
position to make a positive difference for those who are most in need of
help.  In order to be ready for that day, however, Linvin must be sent away
to the far off Kingdom of Valia to be trained by the finest inventor and
military mind in the world; Sedemihcra.  After training together for six
years Sedemihcra finally gives in to Linvin’s plea for practical experience and
allows him to enlist in the army as an archer.  Linvin has developed into a
muscular man of six feet in height and a chiseled physique.  He quickly
advances to the infantry and then the cavalry.  Due to his own abilities
and efforts his rank rises quickly and after episodes of great heroism is given
the title of general.  After a strange twist of fate he becomes Commander
of the Combine Valian Forces at only 26.  He distinguishes himself and his
military mind in many great battles with the Marsh Goblins of the southern
swamps.  His men, his king and the people love and adore him.  Then he
is called home unexpectedly and the real intrigue begins. 
Linvin can
come up with a plan in moments if he takes the time to remember what he was
taught.  He can come up with an entire strategy when given sufficient
time.  Yet, for all his strengths and skills Linvin has a fatal flaw. 
He has a quick temper that can sometimes block out reason.  When Linvin
thinks things through, they generally work out for him.  When he doesn’t
take time to think, disaster almost always follows.  He is easily offended
and grows angry, forcing poor decisions.  If he cannot learn to better
manage himself, he will never prove himself worthy to possess the Red
Sapphire.
