I edited it. Sorry I missed the fate part.

As for my reasoning for the cloak hood on or off is because of his age. With the hood or cowl up his face would be hidden due to the shadow it casts. With it up no one would know if he was young or old so they will think of the stories of past rangers who commoners believe they work the dark arts. But if they saw he was young they would instantly think he is still wet behind the ears. But I changed it and added something different.

Edit: I've also added to the history and changed it slightly.
Edit edit: changed one experience to the kings ranger .
