He does not waste his words on idle chit chat but instead only speaking when he has something worthwhile to say. Despite appearances he is actually a rather eloquent speaker and rarely uses foul language. One can hold a conversation with Elden but it is extremely difficult getting him to open up about anything personal. He is more than happy to aid any one he has come to call friend as above all else, loyalty his what the brute holds in the highest regard. When Elden’s trust is broken, it is rarely won back and his rage will blind him. When he has an issue of his own, more often than not Elden shoulders the burden alone and withdraws from everyone around him. A lot of the time, it is like he is detached from the world, Elden is perceptive of your wants and your needs but yet is an enigma unto himself. His rage is unbound, caused by years of physical and mental abuse. He struggles to control his basic impulses and often must disappear into the night to appease the voices in his head. He is deeply loyal to the Tyrell’s and would do anything for that House, even giving up his life to follow one of their own to Kings Landing to guard and protect her.[/indent][/center] [center][color=brown]History[/color] [indent]Elden is a son of the House Rowan, sworn to the House Tyrell for years, the Rowans of Goldengrove have been close with the Tyrell’s for many years. Elden grew up alongside their children and became particularly close with them. In spite of this, he was still lower than them and was treated as such. More or less from birth, Elden’s father Baelor instilled in his son the value of loyalty. Loyalty above all may have well have been the House words as it was stressed so often. Baelor would often beat Elden senseless with his defence being “He needs to be strong for what’s to come”. As every new day dawned, little Elden would have a new bruise or scar to add to his collection. Baelor’s favourite past time was locking Elden in a room so small that he could barely fit in it. It was here that he developed his fear, swearing never again to go the dark room. Elden did not develop a good way of coping with his inner conflict as he simply withdrew into himself, spending most of his time in the forests near his home, finding sanctum in silence. Much of his free time was spent scaling rocks, climbing mountains and hunting animals. As he matured and gained size, Elden was trained with the sole purpose of protecting whomever his father told him too. One lesson well learned from his old man was that fear was a powerful tool and Elden took this lesson to heart. Self aware of his growing anger issues, the young man decided to create a creed of terror. Opting to distance himself from the clean cut look of most folk from the Reach, Elden shaved his head, allowed his beard to develop and didn’t hide any of his scars. He used an axe instead of a sword and fought like a fucking wildling. By the time he was eighteen, Elden’s reputation and amassed as a savage and brutal foe and his legacy of fear had begun to get traction. When the ruling of King Daerys came down from upon high that wards from each of the great Houses would be taken to Kings Landing, Elden was given an important mission. He would not be a representative of his House but he would guard the Tyrell’s with his life. Elden of course, jumped at the chance to continue spreading his own brand of fear across the seven kingdoms and serving his beloved Tyrell’s without a second thought.
