Name: Konrad Falkenburg Age: 42 Gender: Male Race: Human; Aretan Appearance: Konrad is of middling years, and as such has many of the qualities that middle-aged men have. He is tall, 6'2" and of athletic build. His mostly muscular body is weather-worn and tough, his years of service rendering his flesh hard and his joints going more stiff every day. He has bags under his flint-grey eyes, and a look of sadness about him. He wears his greying hair in a military cut and sports a handlebar mustache. He is normally seen wearing brown slacks with hobnail boots, and a simple linen shirt. He carries a hunting knife with him at all times. When duty calls, he dons his plate armor and his weapons. He uses a flail and large kite shield, but like all knights he is trained in many weapons. Brief character concept: A grizzled veteran, Konrad is a front-line fighter. He is jaded and somewhat depressed due to his home life and his career. Konrad follows orders to the letter, regardless of the "Why". He is paid to serve and protect the King, not to think for himself. History: Konrad served as a protector for the Aretan kingdom for the last 24 years. He has shown great aptitude in the field, never faltering in his orders. No matter how small he task, or how great he has yet to fail one. He grew up in Areta, his father a humble innkeeper. He remembers the first time he saw the noble Knights of Areta, their weapons gleaming, armor shining. At an early age he began to train in fisticuffs and staying fit to make it into the ranks of his great country's protectors. He is a shining beacon of discipline and obedience, putting more hours into his work than in his personal life. Rumors around the barracks speak of his home life being sad, married to a women who sullies their marriage with noblemen and of his own children never coming to visit. But rumors are rumors, and Konrad hasn't affirmed anything. He hasn't denied them, either.
