(sorry for being late. Here we go) Name: Kaiser Durun the Sword of Screams Age: 32 Gender: Male [b]Personality:[/b] While he is sadistic, he can hold it off for a period of time. When there is little or no danger, he is the sort of man who would drag out a duel to make his enemy realize how over matched he is. Durun is unlikely to jeopardize a task on the theory that he will later be able to make others suffer more than necessary. Screams are the symphony he prefers to listen to. He may or may not be a cannibal. Affinity: Blood Knight [hider=Appearance] (Normal): Kaiser has the sharp face of a noble, lighter than most because of the lack of working on the farms.. He never seems to look up to anyone taller than him, simply settling to stare at their chest. No scars adorn him, because he had never suffered the rough tumble of everyday life. Although he is muscular, he is not ripped like a bodybuilder. He is slightly above average height, and the brown hair on his head is wavy and uncut. When not in his armor he wears expensive clothes that make his wealth obvious to those who are the most poor.

Although anyone who has ever been there knows that it is a kingdom only in name. In reality it is a land of barons and petty princes constantly feuding. Born into this environment, he learned quickly that the only way to make peasants obey was to crush them. They don't pay a tax? Introduce them to the oubliette. They speak of your cruelty? Cook the leader for dinner and make those who listened eat the remains. Servants never spoke, and Durun was lonely as a child. He molded into the surroundings and embraced them as a religion. His only possible friend, his sister, rejected him and his petty attempts to be allied. However, even House Brunswick considered him cruel. The head of the dynasty, known as the Kaiser, banished him for cruel and unreasonable punishment of the peasants. The sixteen year old left into the world, was quickly picked up for training as a blood knight (his family name gave him the ability to start late). Four years later, he returned home a changed man. Happy, cheerful, and singing. The twenty two year old knight was a spectacle of joy. He lead fourty-nine out of fifty members of the households to horrific deaths within the next three years, everyone of them knowing who the killer was only just before they passed. Upon reclaiming the title as the Kaiser, he forced his sister to marry him and then had three children with her. Then he left, realizing that the country around him was becoming boring as the King consolidated power and began to give rights to the mere animals beneath his command. And raising three inbred children would have been a pain. The Kaiser of House Brunswick traveled to Zerandar Kingdom and eventually ending up joining the Excalibur guild as a reward for his performance in the field. And as an agreement to make him stop being a cannibal. Those who knew him however still wonder if he is following up on his side of the bargain. Arsenal: A kite shield and a short sword. An armored horse to carry him to places where he can endorse pain upon those who prove themselves unworthy of his gaze. A lance to start the pain early and a lot of small pins for no apparent reason. Oh, and a tinderbox, but not for lighting wood on fire. He is also known to toss narwhals at the enemy, and keeps one in his pocket at as a javelin.
