[b]Name[/b] Walter Keth
[b]Age[/b] 35
[b]Gender[/b] Male
[b]Role[/b] Leader. Head honcho. Big cheese. 
[b]Place of Origin[/b] The West
[b]Personality[/b] Patriotic, dedicated, intelligent, hard working, straight laced
[b]Appearance[/b] A tall, classically handsome man, Keth is well toned from a life of living outdoors and soldiering. His tanned, lean face holds slightly crooked white teeth. His eyes are a striking grey, and his short curly black hair makes ringlets against his broad forehead. He has many scars, though they all increase his attractiveness, indicating a life of danger, instead of making him look deformed. His wide hands are nicked and cut, and his left ring finger is missing. The only adornments he wears is the ring of valor given to him in reward for his exemplary military service, and a small amulet of the Sanguinary Mother around his neck. He dresses in the buckskins of an outdoorsman, though he will wear proper regalia when needed. He wears red leather gloves, a sign of his being a priest of the Sanguinary Mother.
[b]Skilz[/b] The Leader is a combination of the Officer, Survival Outdoorsman, and Cartographer. He is a proven military commander, having led multiple raids and skirmishes against Southern bandit gangs. His early life has left him with the knowledge of how to survive in the harsh Western mountains, tracking wildlife and living off the land. And, like all good commanders, he knows his way around maps, and can even make rudimentary ones.
Keth is also considered a priest of the Church of the Sanguinary Mother, having read all of the books of bloodshed the ritual 8 times, and is allowed to wear the red gloves of the priesthood.
He can also juggle, though he hasn't had the need to demonstrate that in a long time. He practices when he thinks nobody is watching.
[b]Inventory[/b] military sabre, Imperial military regalia (complete with dress sword), his old repeating crossbow, journals for recording his experience, and a polished compass with the Emperors seal on the back. 
The 34 Books of Bloodshed
The red gloves of a Sanguinary Mother priest
5 weighted pins for juggling. 
[b]Bio[/b]
Born and raised on the far outskirts of civilization, Walter Keth was raised alone by his father, a trapper living in the North-Western mountain range. Walter accompanied his father on his month long excursions into the wilderness, hunting and trapping the wild animals that provide the furs for many of the fashionable clothes of the courts. Walter was taught to be self-sufficient, and his father, formerly a soldier in the Imperial army as a scout, inspired his son with old campaigning tales. Walter was taught by his father rudimentary reading and mathematics, and despite what limited knowledge his father had, Walter was a quick study, reading and rereading the holy books of the Church of the Sanguinary Mother, the only reading material that made it so far out, spread by wandering missionaries. Walter became highly devout, a faith that he would carry with him for the rest of his life. When he turned 18, Walter left the Western mountains, traveling until he reached the closest city large enough to have a military garrison. He enlisted that day. He didn't spend long there, a Southern city was in rebellion, and the Empire needed to bring in soldiers that weren't from the region to be sure they would stay loyal to the cause. So, young Keth traveled to the South, along with the rest of his regiment. By the time he reached the South, the rebellion in question had been put down. Most of the soldiers then returned to the West
