Name- Geralt Montegue
Age- 34
Gender- Male
Race- Human
Occupation- Kings (or Queens) Ranger
Appearance-
Geralt is a man of average size at 5'10. His muscles, while not as built as a knights, are fine toned from years of training and experience. His hair is a dark brown and shoulder length. The Rangers eyes are an unusual shade of gray and coupled with his thousand yard stare, make an intimidating sight to behold. A short, grizzled beard marks his face and leaves an appearance of rugged charm. He can usually be seen wearing (if he's seen at all) simple brown trousers and tunic with leather gauntlets and boots. A short sword hangs at each hip and beneath his forest green cloak there is a quiver of arrows strapped to his back. The Rangers bow, while not in hand, is slung over his shoulder.
Personality- Geralt, while outwardly grim and unapproachable, is actually a rather pleasant individual. Sarcastic and witty with a bit of mysterious charm. The Ranger is known by many in the court by reputation alone and friend to few. The late King himself was a friend to Geralt and his death weighs heavily on the Ranger. But he is a man of duty and his services have passed to the Queen.
Magic- N/A
Abilities- Geralt is a master of stealth. His comings and goings are noticed only if he wishes them to be. As one would expect, the Ranger is also skilled with a bow and throwing knives. He is also a proficient tracker.
Weaknesses- Close combat. With his dual short swords, Geralt is an above average swordsman but nowhere near as skilled as say a Knight would be.
History- "There has always been a need for a King to have scouts, spies, and messengers. A Ranger is all of these things and more." Those were his fathers first words to him upon the start of his Ranger training. Geralt would hear similar philosophies from his father through the course of his training, which took place from his 14th birthday until he was 21. During this training, he spent endless hours creeping through the forests surrounding the capitol and even through the streets. Another integral part of training was learning to track. Geralt cannot count how many practice trails his father created for his training or how many animals he tracked and killed with his bow. He took to archery rather quickly, by the time he was 17 Geralt could peg a sprinting deer with a kill shot at a hundred yards.
His father, Roland, was one of the Kings most trusted advisors and scouts. Of course there were other Rangers, Spies, Assassins.. but none of them held in high regard as Roland. And it was a sad day indeed when the old Ranger passed and left Geralt to carry on his legacy only a year after he'd completed training. And so began his mission to live up to his fathers reputation and over the last ten years, Geralt has done quite well for himself.
At the ripe old age of 34, Geralt is one of the most prominent Rangers alive. Even the Elves recognize his exceptional marksmanship and forestry skills. The death of the King had a profound effect on the Ranger however and his demeanor has darkened considerably to those who know him. To the younger members of the court Geralt is just a grumpy old sneak. He's pledged his loyalty to the young Queen however, trusting in the daughter of his old Friend to rule with justice. Geralt has assumed a more passive role lately and hasn't left the castle in some days now, keeping a watchful eye on all who seek audience with the Queen.
