Sival Brentioch was the seneschal of House Brentioch on Brentaal circa 3700 BBY. Over the course of time, he disguised himself as Arhul Habea, an errand boy for the house, and fell in love with the daughter of House Kallea, Freia Kallea. Upon hearing her devotion to traveling the stars, Sival secretly arranged things for Freia using his family wealth. Sival provided her with the scoutship Hope and a commission to piece together the unnavigable strands between their home world and the Rim.
