Antoine Moire

"Warfare did not appeal to me. My vathair, however - meaning, my father... He fought at Sodden Hill. Survived despite a lung run through with a spear and a right hand that went missing. Yet the injuries meant he could no longer serve in the Impera Brigade. Here in Toussaint, the clime and wine bolster healing. And a war pension paid in Nilfgaardian florens buys much... An inn, for instance."

- Calixte Moire speaking about his father

Antoine Moire, a father of Calixte, was a member of the Impera Brigade and later founder of The Silver Salamander Inn in Toussaint's Vedette Valley. His greatest feat was at the Second battle of Sodden where he showed particular courage, as evidenced by the Medal of the Silver Salamander which was awarded to him by the emperor Emhyr var Emreis himself in honor of his valor and dedication on the field of battle.

The injuries, however, caused he could no longer serve his monarch as before and so he decided to retire. Of all the imperial provinces, he chose Toussaint for its climate and wine, with both having a positive effect on healing. For a Nilfgaardian war pension he bought an inn that he named after the medal he was so proud of. He passed his property to a son.
