Abilities:
Weapons Master: He has become an expert on all melee weapons. Gweyn has displayed exceptional sword fighting capability and proficiency with knives, sticks and various other weapons. He practices during his combat sessions to keep his skills intact, but he prefers sword combat.
Acrobat: He is proficient in gymnastics and acrobatics.
Genius-level Intellect: Gweyn possesses a genius intellect and perception with almost no equal; capable of devising an elaborate master plan at a moment's notice. This was seen quite predominantly during the events surrounding the Fifty Year war, when Gweyn, through various strategical plans, is able to set the path for Artorias to locate the weaknesses in the military positions. His intellect, or at least his strategic thinking, is one of his key talents. His vast and extensive knowledge on subjects such as love and his acceptance that there are worse things than death makes him wiser than Nander Generals of the past by vast amounts. He was very knowledgeable in regards to various techniques.
Kingdom: Nander
Class: Top Knight of Nander and Hero of the Fifty Year War
Bio: (optional and doesn't have to be long)
Personality: Considered one of the most talented Knight in the world, Gweyn is benevolent and eccentric, an archetypal good knight. He almost constantly gave off an aura of calmness and composure, rarely displaying intense emotions of anger or fear; instead he appeared content and whimsical throughout. Yet despite his benign nature, it is said that Gweyn was the only Knight truly feared by Wester.
As a supremely talented Knight, Gweyn shows numerous examples of extraordinary abilities. His abilities as a knight were combined with a kind of cunning and subtlety of mind that allowed him to comprehend human nature and turn the better aspects of humanity (trust, love, and friendship) to a disadvantage for some. Yet despite his many talents and accomplishments, Gweyn was never in the least arrogant, self-important or pompous and in this he stands above the other great Knight of his day. Despite this fact, however, Gweyn is quite aware of the fact that his abilities are grand and would not hesitate to remind others of this fact, if the situation demanded it. However, in the end, Gweyn is a man of peace.
He lives believing that the art of battle was meant, not to defeat an opponent, nor to protect one's self, not even to cut away one's weaknesses, but to protect one's soul. Subsequently, he means to protect one's own soul; their pride, their morals, and their beliefs; to never yield to another's will. But most of all, to protect the fragments of one's soul, passed on to those that one would form bonds of friendship with.
As stated by his older brother, Gweyn's most remarkable ability is his will to succeed, pushing himself beyond his limitations, and never giving up even when the odds are stacked against him. Gweyn, for the most part, only fights to win, and usually will spare his opponents, despite initially claiming that he'd kill them. In contrast to this, he appears not to bear much regret to when his opponent has died, whether by Gweyn's own hand or because of other reasons. His staggering power is simultaneously reigned in and enhanced by his fierce unshakeable conscience and indomitable spirit. Gweyn seems to be proud of his own power, but unlike his best friend, he seemingly possesses no physical signs of arrogance or overconfidence. This great strength appears to have a hand in his interest in facing powerful opponents, subsequently contributing to an inability to turn down challenges, especially when it concerns a powerful opponent; although regardless, deep down, he is a man of peace, a trait that was influenced by that of his teacher. Although he is a fearsome fighter, Gweyn will typically use the guise of a coward most of the time to avoid needless bloodshed. However, in complete contrast, he is in fact willing to risk his life for almost anyone.
Crush: Princess Anabelle
