Appearance:
Personality: He has what will later be known as bipolar disorder, he will usually be one moment very cheerful and the next very serious. In terms of respect, he believes that skill, not what side they are on is what it should be earned by. And by skill he means skill in battle. He is often called a drunk due to his past but these days his tolerance of the drug usually just means he is more cheerful.
Althrough he has a natural respect for his comrades, if he believes one is dragging down the name of the Iron Company, he will challenge them to a fight.
He does not have much of a opinion of the queen as he only served a week before leaving for wales, In his opinion on the situation is that it provides good pay and a stable headquarters. Also with the prospects of it allowing the Company to expand and become a larger presense often makes him side with the deal.
History: Originally coming from Wales, he lived there for a long time of his life and so learned the language fluently, he was a boy at the age of nine when he moved so never had a job or apprenticeship.
He was a blacksmiths apprentice for much of his life when he moved into the country and learned to forge there, he usually prefers to forge his own equipment as a result. During the bloody revolution. His village was burnt to the ground. He gathered whatever strands remained and went off looking for better circumstances.
He was starving and dying from dehydration when he was found by the iron company. They taught him how to fight and defend himself. He is often grateful to them for his life so believes that ever since that day, the company took his life and so he will fight until his last breath for them. He was trained with a group of nine others until the time came for him to prove himself in combat. He was called into a battle agaisnt a large bandit group. He fought bravely and often found himself in the thick of conflict, during that battle he sustained an arrow in his arm but ignored it for the scale of the battle, luckly the arrow never broke so a clean removal was preformed after the battle.
As he was from Wales originally and fluent in its language, he was sent on a mission to start a garrison there. It was a sucess and futher helped to strengthen the reputation of the guild. He is often called by the title of "Draig" by the welsh group of soildiers that acompanied him back. The reason for his return is due to his promotion to stag after the old stag was killed. As such he is the advisor and subordinate of the Bear. However he has no wish to rise to any higher rank in the future as he would dispise being ladened down by the responsibilities of the running of the guild even more than he already is.
Skills: He is a skilled swordsmen and leader, he oversaw the creation of a outpost in his welsh homelands and would always stand at the very front of his men, He is a skilled armorer and smithy to the point that he is often called upon to inspect the qualities of weapons by many soldiers. He has taught himself to read so that he may rummage through books for information and not have to relie on having his letters read aloud for all to hear.
During his time in the Welsh outpost, he learned to shoot and make a longbow, he has a like for the weapon and has a natural skill for the weapon.
His combat tactic is to use his axe to pull away a shield to leave them open and then slice with his sword.
Dreams and fears: He has a obsession with dragons and so before the company became the queens guard, he would often tail up rumors of the beasts.
Favored equipment: He usually has a sword which has the queens emblem sketched into the blade, a simple leather scabbard is wheee it hangs at his waist. On his gauntlets are sharp little spikes to increase the impact of when he decides to punch a enemy. Most often he will also carry an steel axe that he uses for a very simple strategy. You hook shield with axe, you pull on axe, he stab with sword. Opponent dies.
He has a set of plate armour which many joke that he sleeps in, he tryed to before but he woke up the next morn with sore muscles so had to stop. It consists of a steel breastplate with two designed paldrons, One is in the shape of a dragon head, he has a matching one but it has been replaced by a stag head. He wears steel gauntlets and boots which are always polished, he does not see the point in it as they get covered in blood but he receives unhappy complaints from the queen the time when he preformed guard duty in bloodstained armour. Reguardless he wears a cloth cloak with the queens banner stiched onto it. Also his breastplate and weapons also have the emblem etched into them.
Extra: When I say Outpost, I do not mean a castle. I mean like mainly a camp with woodern fortifications. If you need help visualizing look up orcish strongholds from Skyrim for reference.
