[b][x]-Background:[/b] Sir Delwin Pryde was born as the first son of a Welsh fisherman under the rule of Uthyr Pendragon. Growing up, Delwin had every intention of carrying on his father’s trade, and was concerned little with the grander machinations within Britannia. At the age seventeen, this outlook suddenly changed for Delwin, as his father was brutally murdered at the hands of Saxon raiders. 

After moving his mother and two sisters inland, and into the home of his mother’s family, Delwin departed to rally beneath the banner of King Arthur, and repulse the Saxons. With no previous martial skills, Delwin had to rely upon his wit, shrewdness, and bearing to maintain him upon the battlefield. Taken into Arthur’s army as a spearman, Delwin was obligated to learn his craft quickly, as his first battle took place less than a fortnight after leaving his family.

It was at the Battle of Celidon Wood that Delwin would meet his fate, and truly change his life forever. In the midst of the roiling onslaught of Saxon infantry, Delwin came to the aid of a knight who had been thrown from his horse. The knight had been knocked unconscious by the fall, and lay helpless. Taking up the knight’s sword, Delwin managed to defend him until his consciousness returned. 

Following the battle, Delwin was sought out by the knight whom he had saved. The knight was Sir Lamorak, a skilled warrior, and member of the Knights of the Round Table. On Lamorak’s request, King Arthur knighted Delwin that very same day, and commended him for his bravery and loyalty in the service of the crown. From that day forward, Sir Delwin was constantly at the side of Sir Lamorak, soaking up every bit of knowledge and skill that the grizzled veteran could pass on to him. 

Years passed, and Sir Delwin became a rigorous pupil in the ways of chivalry and knightly combat. Though not as skilled in swordsmanship as some of his noble peers, Sir Delwin commands a high degree of respect in the eyes of his enemies, and his adaptability make him a worthy adversary.  He was granted a small plot of land along the River Usk, and is tasked with aiding in the patrol and defense of the northern reaches of the realm.
