I did create a coat of arms for Kristof (see here http://www.furaffinity.net/view/869829/ ), but let's face it, it sucks. The guy's supposed to be the heir apparent to a pretty big kingdom fer cryin' out loud. So from now on that's his war banner.
So here is the family crest of the Siffuison á Capaillés.
In heraldic terms, it's an escutcheon party per cross; the left upper field further divided, party per bend sinister, the left field bearing three stars argent on bleu celeste and the right one four apples gules on vert; the right upper field a tower argent on a chevron or on a field of azure (which is also a marshalled or combined charge, but not divided like the first one); the left lower field a gauntlet argent on a sable field; and the right lower field also party per bend sinister with, again, on the left field three stars argent on bleu celeste, and the right field a barry of five or et purpure.
The stars against a blue sky refer to spirituality; the apples to prosperity; the tower to security; the golden chevron to loyalty; the gauntlet to strength in battle, but it is turned away from the viewer; and the gold and purple bars to nobility.
The top right field was the original family crest from back when they were aristocrats but not royals. The top left field is the national sigil: physical wealth, beneath religious faith. The right lower field denotes the same but indicates the royal family (that was taken from the previous dynasty, which died out without leaving heirs). The lower left field, an iron fist on mournful black, denotes battlefield achievements while expressing sadness over their necessity.
The shieldbearers or supporters are a dragon vert et gules on the left, and a female leopard gorged et enchaînée or et sable on the right; the leopard does not signify a person or people, but rather a personal sin (in this case lust), overcome and 'chained' by the original monarch; the dragon not only represents an actual person - namely I'tar, a dragon without whose help aforementioned monarch would never have attained the throne - but in fact someone who is still alive at this time, even though these events took place over 160 years ago.
The whole is crested by a crowned helmet; the royal mantle is a relatively recent addition.

Nice - and I really like the fact you actually wrote up a proper blazon. I might've written it a little different, myself, though:
Quarterly, I party per bend sinister, bleu celeste, three mullets of six points, azure, and vert, four apples, gules; II azure, a chevron, or, a tower embattled, argent; III sable, a gauntlet, argent; IV party per bend sinister, bleu celeste, three mullets of six points, azure, and purpure, two bars, or. Supporters, on the dexter side a dragon, vert, armed and langued rouge; on the sinister side a leopard, or, gorged and chained, armed sable, langued rouge. For a crest, a helmet mantled, gules, crowned, or.

Heck no. Back in the day, knights and champions were a good deal more rough-and-tumble. I'tar helped Kristof's great-great-great-great-grandfather because he was a good man, a true knight and great king. But if he was still alive, and knew of Kristof's plight, he'd be like "He brought it on himself. Fuck him! He's no knight, but maybe he'll be a good slave." And I'tar would agree wholeheartedly, if he even knew (it's a big world, you know). Not to mention: 160 years is a pretty long time. By now, I'tar will look considerably more like dragons as we envision them (but still nothing like the ancient dragons who rule the Dragon kingdom). It would be dishonorable for him to challenge any of the warriors that have featured so far in the series, indeed all of them together.
So poor Kristof's on his own? I somehow can't feel too bad for him! (Even if that priestess' torture of him from awhile back seemed rather cruel...enjoyable to see, but cruel.)
Come to think of it, that reminds me...would it be OK if I sent you a note asking about adding another commission of sorts to the queue? I know you have things to work on already, but I figured I'd ask rather than risk forgetting it!
