[Hider= Sir Gideon Balmont] Name: Gideon Balmont 'the Broken' as he's been titled recently. Age: 38 Gender: Male Noble Virtue: Shield of Camelot (Cast away.) Gideon was a fierce protector, an odd knight that chose to use a large tower shield, a sign of his vow to protect his commander, his family, and his people. Since the fall though, this virtue appears diminished. Knight Archtype: Deulist - Gideon was previously known to wield his great tower shield, however he no longer does so. Instead he holds only a longsword, under the premise of the best defense is a good offense. He focuses on parrying blows with great precision, and often strikes his opponents and grabs with a free hand. Inventory: -Two steel flasks, one if which is usually with the horse. Both are filled with strong whiskey. -A wartorn Longsword, this is a simple blade, standard issue for many knights, though it has seen much conflict. It's maintained, though there are visible chips in it. It once belonged to Gideon's son, and holds a family sigil. - A light courser (Horse) with saddle packs containing dried meats and water. Some simple bandages are kept for emergencies. - Twenty feet of rope. -A balanced hunting knife, in the left boot. -And odd armor set, consisting of dark leather, steel plates cover the upper chest, forearms, and shins only. -A scarf and wool gloves, some areas in camelot arenrather frigid. -A hunting bow, armed with twelve barbed arrows for taking game. Vows: If he has any vows left, he hasn't said. Personality: Gideon has a fatherlike outlook on things, often harsh, but never wrong. He's always been a content man, his posting as a knight kept him happy, he did his work, and went home to his kin in before, never have ambitions above protecting his city. This at least, is what many of the younger men that were under him say. Today, Gideon is a quiet, brooding man. His signature shield has been cast away, leaving concerned men to think he's trying to die, but if he is he won't say. Orders aren't questioned from this older fellow, he just reads, drinks, and doesnwhat he's told until the next fight. Sometimes he can be gruff, and rude, but some of the men say he does it in their best interest, even if he goes too far. Background: (Lunch break is almost over, this is just a draft. I'll pop this in.)
