"Oh now, now, M'lady... I would suggest you keep your sword sheathed." Martel rolled his eyes. "Your precious Order does not hold a monopoly on offering their services to someone now does it?" He still kept his tone as polite as he could, but there was a little hint of annoyance in his voice. "I tend not hide what I am. Now, if you have something against me let's hear it, m'lady."

Isn't it weird how you can start a private conversation with yourself?

Martel did not pay that much attention to the conversations that were happening around himself and his men, not until he noticed Lyn. He could sense the self righteousness of a member of the Order of the Light. The tall man finished his drink and left the two large bottles in the care of one of his men. When Martel got on his feet he noticed the other woman - whom he deduced was a Djinn, or other such being. When the smaller woman mentioned 'Lord Kanaan' the vampire knew he needed a word with her.
"Lads, stay out of trouble." The tall man stated before approaching the two women. He made a little bow and even managed a polite smile. "Now, this is highly impolite of me to butt in to a conversation between ladies. However I heard Lord Kanaan mentioned and it just so happens I need a word with the Emperor." Though he spoke with a very polite tone and focused his attention on Mekkah, Martel's eyes kept moving to glance at Lyn like he was expecting to be attacked.

It felt weird not having the whole Company with you, still it also had a certain charm to it. The small group of 13 men had left the rest of the Raven Company in four small camps roughly a day's ride apart from each other. The men carried no banners, but the black raven emblems on their armors gave away their allegiance.
Oddly only one of the men wore a helmet, and what a helmet it was! It was shaped like the head of a roaring lion and it completely hid the wearer's face. Still, those who had heard the rumors would easily recognize him as Martel Corbanet, or Lord Corbanet as he wished to be called. He kept his gaze towards the ground as the sunlight made his eyes ache. "If it had not been my own idea coming here I would be complaining." He shook his head and headed to the tavern where he finally removed his helmet and managed a polite smile as he ordered drinks for his men and an empty goblet for himself. The group of armored men quickly found places to sit and began their own little conversation.

Just asking again... umh... How large would you allow the Raven Company to be? I was thinking something like 200 at their current strenght with only about 12 men currently with Martel and the rest camped up in other parts of the area doing mercenary work.
Name: Martel Corbanet
Alias: Lord Corbanet
Species: Vampire, formerly human
Appearance: When you hear the word vampire Martel is not the first thing that would spring to mind. His face is not gaunt or monstrous, neither is it unnaturally handsome either. The high cheekbones and slightly jutting jaw mixed with the slightly twisted - obviously broken - nose do not quite seem to fit well with each other. The only 'unnatural' part of his face would be the icy cold blue eyes that turn in to a rather unnerving, nearly gleaming red whenever Martel gets even slightly hungry.
His shoulder length hair is well kept, black as the night and usually kept on a neat ponytail when Martel is not wearing a helmet. Equally black is the neatly trimmed goatee.
Though he is quite tall and might even be considered broad shouldered by some his arms do not seem very strong - some might actually wonder how he is even able to swing his sword around or move while wearing his armor.
When not in a combat situation Martel dresses up like a proper gentleman - a white fencing shirt paired with black pants and boots, occasionally a gray tabard with a black raven emblem adorning it. From the wide brown belt hangs a dagger at all times.
In combat Martel dons his plate armor, dyed gray and red, with again the raven emblem adorning it. The helmet is made to slightly resemble a lion or some other kind of a large feline's head.
Height: 6'5
Weight: 189
Personality: Martel is first and foremost a nobleman - even with his bloodlust and other urges greatly enhanced by his vampiric condition - he is polite when necessary and his word can always be trusted. He takes good care of his forces and does his best to avoid needless bloodshed - though occasionally his vampiric lust for blood gets the better of him. He can seem like cold and calculating to some, even humorless, but those who actually choose to remain in his company find the Lord Corbanet to actually be a rather decent fellow.
Bio: People these days do not really know what Martel Corbanet was like when he was alive. Most do not even know what he is like now that he is a vampire. He was a good man in life, honorable, just and kind. The lands of his family were beset by vampires and the Corbanet's soon clashed with the creatures of the night. Unfortunately Martel did not die in the battles - not in the usual sense of the word at least. He rose as a vampire and has since mostly refrained from actually harming innocent people. Occasionally amusing himself with new endeavors over the years. The newest endeavor being the Raven Company which has been around for well over 20 years. He offers the services of himself and his company to the highest bidder. The Raven Company is known for it's ruthless efficiency and at times underhanded tactics. It is rumored that the Raven company and it's leader sometimes stoop to banditry and other such horrible acts though Martel denies such accusations.
Rank: Commander of the Raven Company of mercenaries
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Age: appears to be in his mid 30's, is in reality nearly 400 years old
Items: Books of strategy and tactics, two large bottles that at first glance seem to be filled with red wine, an old signet ring.
Weapons: A straight bladed sword with a two inch wide blade with a length of 3 and a half feet, the handguard of the sword curves slightly towards the tip of the blade and the pommel is shaped like a lion's head.
A dagger with a slightly curved 7 inch blade, the hilt adorned with gold and a little ruby (fake) adorning the pommel.
Skills: Excellent commander of light cavalry and footmen, skilled strategist and swordsman, above average diplomat.
Abilities:
Amazing physical durability - as a vampire Martel is able to soak notably more damage than a mortal. Getting a sword though his arm wouldn't really hamper his use of said arm, a sword through the gut would slow him down for a time. A sword - or other object - through the heart would put him in a state of paralysis until it's removed. Cutting off his head would prove fatal however.
Enhanced reflexes - Technically Martel's reflexes are good enough for him to dodge arrows if he knows where they are coming from.
Greatly enhanced strenght - Martel is easily able to lift a 50 pound object with one hand when at the peak of his power.
Heightened sense of smell, sight, hearing - he doesn't quite have elven eyes, but if he would be in any way skilled archer he'd be able to hit a fist sized target from 200 paces.
Magic:
As a vampire Martel has the ability to turn in to mist and walk on surfaces like walls or the ceiling like he was walking on a solid floor.
The dark energy that keeps him alive also enhances his healing ability greatly to the point that broken bones heal in a matter of hours and a minor stab wound in a matter of minutes.
Other: In direct sunlight - if the light touches his skin that is - Martel loses most of his strength, durability and speed.
Martel has to consume blood on a daily basis - be it from humans, animals or other such or he will begin to lose his vampiric abilities and self control. If he goes too long without blood he will become a nearly uncontrollable monster - though without his vampiric healing and greatly reduced strength
Holy water and holy objects burn his skin horribly and can momentarily stall his vampiric healing ability.
Drinking blood on the other hand momentarily enhances his healing ability to some extent. If consuming fresh blood from a living prey even the horrible burns from holy objects heal up slightly faster. Storaged blood doesn't give nearly as great enhancements.
