Background: The youngest child of Ginnava, Marwood was her bundle of joy and baby of the family. She actually took the time to teach him to ride herself. As such he desires to make her proud yet at the same time with age came distance and difference. While his mother relies on codes and formal declarations Marwood is normally on his horse with a squad of knights by the time she start issuing orders. This has caused much division between mother and son, with Marwood often leading knights in to battle against horrors without having approval from his mother.

Aside from that he is good friends with both generals, he often finds himself in there company or training with them. While many of his men pass around rumors he is to be engaged to one the generals there is little no proof of that claims. As a prince he received a formal education and lessons in history, strategy, and etiquette.  He threw away etiquette preferring to spend many a night out defending villages or celebrating victory's with his men. He even formed a special group of cavaliers that ride with him to villages and towns under assault, thus with almost all his training being done on horse back his skills off it are lowered.

Currently Marwood most trusted knights are Hodge, Ismay, and Mylle. Each of them are cavaliers from the standing army of Renais and all of them make up the Renais riders. These four often leave the moment word of trouble sounds moving between towns, attacking bandits, monsters, and horrors. They have saved hundreds of lives alone, yet while hailed as hero's it troubles his mother that his free form fighting is not proper of a prince. He has a history of being rather bold and challenging letting nothing stand between him and his moral compass, politics be damned.

This has caused to get in to trouble when he chased a band of bandits in to Jehanna where he killed them. He then spent weeks there getting to know the locals, with bothering to inform the king of his visit. The next morning an envoy arrived and soon he was sipping tea with the king discussing sword play, monsters, and politics. However after the meeting he was shown the strength of Jehanna's guild leaders and Sion's second in command. Fearing the reports he quickly departed with his riders. Upon his return the generals and his mother both gave him an earful which he quickly ignored.

However with the recent threat to Grado he abandoned Renais to go and help the kingdom. Renais and Grado were historically close and he feels he must do as his great ancestor would have done and journey to help the Emperor who he admires as a good leader and warrior. He hopes to help drive back the attacks and force Renais in to action and perhaps Frelia as well.

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other: An avid singer and storyteller Marwood spent his younger days sneaking out and telling singing and telling stories at the local tavern. He has secretly wanted to be a bard but royal duties prevent that and he also wishes to marry some one he loves rather than an arranged marriage like his mother has in mind, possibly to secure a new ally. He is a sucker for a good romance book, though he doesn't like people to know. He gets very nervous around girls and has never been good at discussing women. Princesses have scared him since boyhood when his mother attempted to get him to like them and marry one.

R-button Summarization: A Renais prince with a good heart and a rebellious streak.
