I would say it's not important.
Saefinn is a pirate captain from a family of mrchant sailors. He never had much brawn and was a keen thinker and a big reader - time at sea gave him ample opportunity to exercise his mind and he found himself well versed in the arcane. But discovered a treasure in Nymian ruins, which brought about him his first faerie and she's helped him learn much about the ways of a Scholar and helped him learn the arts.
I roleplay both of my faeries, his first was Eos (I call her Asarosa) and she was very shy and quiet to begin with, she found it hard to adapt. And now? She treats the captain like an unfaithful husband.
Her sister, Asaviola embraced the changes in the world with an overbearing confidence and inherited the captain's alcoholism.
I'd suggest the mi!itary background isn't the heart of what a Scholar is, at heart they are strategists and this is why it works so well for the captain.
Of course there's something else to consider, there's a level of archeology associated with it, because of the ancient nature and sense of curiosity, bear in mind too not only are Nymian ruins holding a wealth of knowledge but loot to attract adventurers. I would say there's a non military motive and you may learn the cways of the Scholar, just as people today my learn the way of the Samurai, for educational purposes.
