Appearance
A 6'4" human man with a muscular build, handsome features, medium straight black hair, amber eyes, and a viking beard with a single braid. He carries himself like a soldier-scholar, with the polished posture of a knight academy graduate and the alert gaze of someone who has spent equal time in libraries and training yards.
Mannerisms
He speaks with measured precision, as if every sentence were being filed into an archive. When thinking, he rests two fingers against his beard braid or taps the hilt of his sword once, as though confirming an oath. In conversation, he often glances upward when recalling lore, like a scholar paging through invisible books.
Personality
Calm, disciplined, and quietly earnest, he carries himself like a man who believes every duty can be learned, practiced, and perfected. He is courteous to a fault, especially toward scholars, knights, and anyone who treats knowledge with reverence. Beneath that composed surface is a sincere wonder at the world, and a deep, almost private devotion to proving that miracles can also be reliable.
Ideals
Duty. Power is only noble when it protects the helpless and preserves what is worth remembering. He believes knowledge is a form of vigilance, and that a knight must guard both people and history with equal care.
Bonds
He feels a sacred duty to honor the Aether that granted him life, and he believes his service to the Mid Region Knights is part of that debt. He is fiercely loyal to his parents, especially his mother, whose lessons shaped both his mind and his magic-born resolve. He also seeks the truth behind the Aether, hoping ancient lore will explain why he was chosen and what purpose his existence serves.
Flaws
He struggles to trust authority that lacks honor, yet he can be overly deferential to officers who wear a title well. He sometimes mistakes preparation for courage, burying himself in research when a direct choice would be wiser. When confronted with mysteries tied to his origin, he becomes stubborn and refuses to let an unanswered question rest.
Quirks
Background
Born in a quiet village of the Kingdom of Mid Region, he was a miracle long before he was a warrior. His parents could not conceive naturally, and in her grief and hope, his mother sent a plea into the Aether, the luminous force she studied in old texts. The Aether answered. An infant boy was granted to them, a child touched by life-giving power, and from the beginning he seemed to breathe a little brighter than others. As he grew, that same strange vitality revealed itself in subtle surges of instinct, endurance, and a quiet pull toward ancient knowledge. His father, a retired knight, raised him with disciplined hands and a patient voice, teaching him how to stand, how to strike, how to endure pain without surrendering to it. His mother, a sage of patient brilliance, taught him how to read forgotten scripts, trace old histories, and listen for the truth buried beneath rumor and pride. She also taught him to respect the Aether not as a weapon, but as a sacred current of life and purpose. When he came of age, he traveled to Oakhaven and joined the Mid Region Knights, determined to become worthy of the gift that shaped his birth. Now, at twenty-two and newly graduated from the knight academy, he has been sent to report to Captain Matilda, the Oakhaven White Knight, carrying with him both a scholar's mind and a knight's oath.
