Name: Lord Darius Arenar
Appearance: In his mid-twenties, Darius is five foot eleven in height, with medium length blond hair, dark green eyes, a light skin tone, and unbelievably handsome features. He is of a decent build, and marches into battle (well behind his bodyguards, of course) clad in a set of well-polished scaled armour. His weapon of choice is a well-made arming sword, accompanied by a round wooden shield.
Kingdom Allegiance: Chlotar
Tribe: Chlotar
Background: Darius was born as the second son of House Arenar, a wealthy Chlotar family that had risen to power through several wise investments and shrewd trade endeavors, despite their lack of actual material holdings. That said, they were still vassals to King Cauroman, and expected to follow him into battle should he call upon them.
Growing up, Darius had always been exceptionally well-read and well-mannered, and turned out to be quite the charmer, with a sharp head for tactics and business. Unfortunately, he was something of a mediocre swordsman. He could hold his own, but he would not be pulling off any impressive feats of gallantry.
As the second son, Darius knew he would not inherit his family's fortunes, which left him bitter and resentful. However, he soon noted that his elder brother, Gareth, had fallen out of favour with their father. And that Gareth's anti-social tendencies left him with few friends. And so, he conspired to see his brother replaced.
It was a simple enough matter. His father was in elder years, and it was not long before the old man 'mysteriously' fell ill. Darius came to his father's bedside, and with honeyed words convinced him that Gareth had grown impatient, and wished to inherit the family fortune early. He presented false evidence to back up the claim.
Outraged, their father declared then and there that Gareth was to be disowned, and the evidence was presented to King Cauroman. A call was immediately made for Gareth's arrest. However, Gareth had managed to steal a horse and flee before they could matter. No matter; the inheritance was assured. His father died a few days later, and it was Darius who soon took up the lordship.
Darius soon moved to Cauroman's court, and over the next few years he wasted no time in slowly expanding his influence, finding friends and connections wherever he could. It was here that his intelligence and charisma truly shone through, and even caught the attention of King Cauroman himself.
Now, Darius has been called upon to follow his King into war. Though he is not fond of battle, he is aware that this adequate service will be granted an appropriate reward, and so he was able to use his connections to secure a decent command.
