Description

Height: 180 centimetres.
Weight: 79 kilograms.
Body Type: Lean, muscular.
Eyes: Pure blue.
Hair: Blond, kept short in a military style haircut.
Skin: Light coloured, usually coated in a thin layer of dust or dirt.
Markings/Tattoos: Back is scarred with many whip-markings from being lashed several times in his military career. A small scar running vertically above his upper-lip and another diagonally across the bridge of his nose. The dragon of the Horen dynasty is tattooed on his right bicep.

Health: Suffers mentally due to trauma sustained throughout his long years of service. Prone to sudden outbursts of rage. Deals with his issues through snorting fisstech, often two or three times daily (considered a fisstech addict). Also smokes his pipe an average of five times per week and drinks on a daily basis, though never to the point where he is intoxicated. In good physical condition for his age, retains a healthy diet and exercises regularly in spite of his mental issues.
Personality: Rarely calm, uses profanity constantly, easily agitated and takes quickly to holding grudges, unforgiving. Retains undying loyalty to the Horen dynasty, despite their downfall, and would come into their service without question if required. Loyal second to the ‘legacies’ of his mentor Godfrey Horen and friend Horen V, which he believes to be the unification and purification of humanity. Unquestionably loyal to humanity, staying true to his family’s words “Loyalty Unwavering”. Extremely racist against non-humans (especially dark elves) and half-breeds due to the ‘purification legacy’ (legatum) of Horen V.
Inventory: Wears his Imperial Brigade uniform, consisting of undergarments (cloth shirt, breeches) worn beneath a chainmail dress. A blue Imperial Brigade coat with white and blue striped sleeves is worn over the chainmail, the dragon of Horen V’s empire embroidered on his chest above his heart. The coat is accompanied by leather boots (with light plate strapped to the exterior) and fingerless leather gloves, iron studs over the knuckles. Light plate is again strapped to his elbows with buckled lengths of leather. A heavy leather belt winds around his midsection and buckles below his navel, the excess leather simply hanging down from the iron buckle. He wears a necklace of thick golden chain on the outside of his coat, a rounded medallion with an image depicting the lorraine cross of the Creator marked onto it. He usually keeps his head covered with a brown chaperon. In his coat pockets he keeps a two small pouches, one containing his pipeweed, the other his fisstech. The pouches are accompanied by an ivory pipe and a small, wooden box filled with matches. In a separate pocket is a golden pocket watch, attached to the coat with a golden chain. On the watch face’s cover an owl with it’s wings spread is engraved, whilst on the back the dragon of the Horen dynasty is coiled. The watch was gifted to him on the day of his knighting ceremony by the Emperor Godfrey Horen. On his back he usually keeps sheathed a steel bastard sword with a leather-bound grip, forged for him in Abresi by Lark Steelwall. Over the top of the sword’s sheath his crossbow usually sits, held to his back by a leather strap running over one shoulder, across his chest, and back beneath the opposite arm. The strap is buckled at his shoulder so it may be released with ease, and a sheath is attached to the part of the strap that usually sits over his chest. This sheath generally holds a steel dirk with the grip facing diagonally upwards, also forged by Lark Steelwall, the words ‘AVE LEGATUM’ etched upon the blade. At one side a light, one handed mace (once again forged by Lark Steelwall) sits in a loop on his belt. Opposite it is his falchion, looted off the corpse of an Adunian warrior in Kalos, tucked safely into his belt. At the back of his left hip a quiver is slung, filled with steel-headed bodkin crossbow bolts.
