-Lordofthecraft forum account: ExpiredJordan

-Biography: Jordan Meyer was born in the Military base of Winterfell 22 years ago. His father Mattius was a ranger who was used to scout the lands around the border to prevent any attacks on the great capital Al'Khazar. His mother was a citizen who traveled with Mattius to help populate the land and keep his father company on his off time. Sadly she died not long after the birth of her son Jordan from complications with child birth. With no mother Mattius decided it would be best to prepare his son for the harsh winters and constant attacks from the north.

The training started from the day he could walk. Jordan spent most of his childhood learning and perfecting the skills of a ranger. Jordan was taught the use of the bow and the importance of it in battle. His father also taught him how to track animals and sometimes bandits when the need arouse. Jordan was forced to kill his first bandit when he was 15. Mattius said it was the proudest moment in his life. Jordan however felt guilty about killing the bandit as he most likely had a family to feed, and he just made a child have to deal with living without one of their parents just like he had to. Mattius reassured him by teaching him that the needs of the many were above the needs of the few. He explained that this is why they had to live in the god forsaken North while everyone was warm and comfortable in the south, but the need to protect this base was above the need of his family's comfort. That lesson stuck in Jordan's mind since then.

The years passed and Jordan kept learning his skills as a ranger from Mattius. One day there was an attack on the march to WinterFell from bandits of the North. Jordan's years of training had earned him the right to travel and fight with his father. That night Mattius sneaked into the bandit camp and shot the commander of the attack. Jordan shot many of the commanders minions down but he soon found himself surrounded. Mattius jumped to his sons aid and brought down the untrained bandits in a few swings, but he was shot multiple times by an archer hiding in the trees. Mattius died that night in his sons arms after making him promise to do something helpful with the skills he has been taught. Jordan buried his father the next morning after being found by the guards holding his fathers lifeless body. Jordan then headed south with a promise he would not break.
