The Knave Of Hearts [+]

Name: Roman Jacob Hawthorn

Nickname: The Knave of Hearts

Gender: Male

Age: Physically, Roman looks to be a twenty-so young man. However, as with many born of Wonderland, ‘tis not his true age. Nor would he tell you it.

Looks: Standing 6 feet tall to the mark, and possessing sharp features, he has long cut an imposing figure. Auburn-brown hair and dark eyes complement the look. He also has very little variety in his wardrobe.

Personality: Roman, mostly due to his name and infamy, is no stranger to solitude. He is quiet and of few words, serious, and evasive when it comes to talking about himself. However, in all but the most sensitive of matters, he will be blunt and to the point. He might offer you assistance should you need it, but don’t come to expect it.

History: When people hear the name ‘Knave’, all thoughts go to that fateful day… when the first Alice appeared among their midst… and Roman, not even a grown man at the time, was standing trial for stealing a tray of tarts.
Of his earliest days, he has no memory. There are no parents. No siblings. No games with friends or jokes with siblings. Just servitude to the Red King. Always standing to one side, ready to serve a meal or pour ale and wine. Sometimes he would saddle a horse, and others he had to polish all the silverware. He was just a servant.
Once he grew older, other duties replaced the simpler ones. He was to train in the way of the sword, should he ever need to defend the king. Polish armour. Run messages – which is what led to his trial. Having passed the kitchens, he saw a tray of tarts just left on the side. And temptation struck easily.
“Sentence first, verdict afterwards.” Those are famous words. And he carries with him that sentence – a secret to all but he and the Red Royals. But whatever it was, it was severe, and reason enough for the youth to flee the castle. Perhaps flee is not the right word, since he is certainly no fugitive, and the Red King has made no move to pursue him. The knave disavowed his oath of service to the man, though his old moniker was never forgotten. And using the few skills he's learned throughout his life, he's set himself up as a part of the Mad Hatter's town.
Currently, he lives in an old-ish seeming house on the outskirts of town. One of the windows is stuck shut, part of the attic is too frail to be considered safe, and the front door doesn’t quite lock properly. But, it’s home.

Job: Roman works as a man-for-hire, almost a mercenary. In his job description, you’d likely find the words 'swordsman', 'escort', 'troublemaker', 'courier', and 'investigator'. He's efficient and swift, and you can trust him to get your job done. So long as it doesn't involve murder, and you pay him first.

Crush: OPEN

Other: Ignore the lightning. He has no magical powers.
