Wulfric has a strong physique owing to the grueling labor that smithing can give you. Standing at 5'9", Wulfric carries the well-known blond genes that his parents gave him. His blond hair is long and unkempt beyond normal hygiene standards, mostly due to him wanting to conceal his identity from would-be assassins or turncoats. However, while smithing, the hair is kept in a tight ponytail behind him, away from the bronze fires and coals. Facial scars fill the squared jawline of the last son of York, mostly inflicted on him when he was little. 


Personality: Some would say Wulfric is shy, or even bashful. The actual truth is the fact that Wulfric is not a fan of speaking out of turn. A short lifetime full of torture, fighting and nightmare has forced him to hold his tongue unless he truly needs to speak. Because of this, many believe he has some sort of anxiety with speech. Preferring that his actions answer more then anything else, Wulfric is a quiet soul that pounds out the steel the company uses throughout the night.

However, do not take his quiet side as a negative. Though not entirely social, Wulfric is a fantastic listener, and can provide background advice others may not see or even understand. Not one to be rude, anyone that strikes up a conversation with Wulfric will be leading the conversation, but he will definitely add his own bits to the social event. Ironically, Wulfric is more social to children, and has been seen actually actively conversing with children from local orphanages. He continues to look for an apprentice to this day. 

History: The York family were once a proud line, having owned several estates throughout the Kingdom of Westar. Wulfric was the youngest son of a rather large portion of the family, and was raised quite well. Being the squire for one of his older brothers, Wulfric would never become the heir of the family, but was happy nonetheless. This noble upbringing gave Wulfric a short teaching in both combat and reading. However, his life would come crashing down around him due to a feud between the his family and the Dunstands. Finally culminating in a clash in the streets, the York family were cut down through assassinations, executions and even abductions. Wulfric himself was captured in a quick abduction, where he was a prisoner for over 3 years of his life. A great majority of his scars come from this time period, where he was tortured brutally at the hands of several banner-men. 

Through sheer luck, Wulfric was eventually able to escape. Realizing he was the only surviving member of his family, Wulfric went on to become an apprentice at a local bakery. His time there was short enough, and soon, he was under the tutelage of a blacksmith, who allowed Wulfric to stay there only as a tutor to his own children. Wulfric's ability to read allowed him to barter it as a tool, teaching those that could not. Picking up several abilities underneath the blacksmith, Wulfric would apprentice under him and the rest is history. 

Wulfric is now the company swordsmith, casting the steel needed to create more weapons for the soldiers and infantry. His is well-known throughout the camp as the quiet man that can build you a pretty good weapon if need be. 

Skills and Abilities: Wulfric is stout and strong, and his physique is not lacking. Larger and more broad then others due to his craft, it takes a large amount of pain to finally down the smith. In addition to his physique, Wulfric is rather learned, and can be seen reading many books at night. This gives him insight on people, customs and even particular noble families. Finally, Wulfric is an accomplished smith, and can create great works of art from metal. Repairing armor and swords can be done quickly and with little error, given he has the resources available. 

Weakness(es): Wulfric is emotionally scarred from his former life. Furthermore, his survival means that assassins are constantly searching for him. The companies movement throughout the country is a blessing, as it does not stay in the same place for long. Additionally, though he is more skilled then your average peasant, he is still rather clumsy with fighting. 

Equipment: Wulfric usually wears tanned hides and leathers, along with his tool apron. Almost always having his smithing hammer on him gives him an improvised weapon, and he can wield it well enough to fight off would-be attackers. Since blacksmith's rarely go to war with the rest of the company, Wulfric does not use much armor beyond leather and occasional brigandine.
