| In Depth Appearance |
Lord Eron is of average height with a strong, athletic physique. His face is broad, with square jaws and a powerful chin with a bit of rugged stubble. Wavy hair falls down to his shoulders, framing his face and hazel eyes peer out from underneath somewhat thick eyebrows.
Although there aren't any apparent wounds on him, when he takes off his shirt one is able to see countless wounds across the front and back of his body. In normal circumstances, Lord Eron has a small smile on his face, almost a smirk, and this only disappears in the most dire situations.

| Habits |
- Although not really a habit but more of a quirk, Eron is almost always gripping the pommel of his sheathed sword and shifting it within its belt, as though eager to draw the weapon.
- Another is a cleaning ritual of his sword every morning and evening,
and after every session of love-making, as a reminder of who he is and that another sword, just as sharp, could easily take his life in a moment's notice. - Running his hand through his hair is another thing he does, mostly unconsciously, when in social gatherings.
| Hobbies |
- Reading books. One would seldom expect someone like him to be well read beyond the requirements of his stature, but Eron enjoys reading. Often making time throughout his day to sit quietly in his solar to simply read, and among his favourite works are of the philosophical type as it always stimulates his mind to think and challenge the status quo.
- As a knight turned lord, among his favourite hobbies is horse riding. His destrior, Grim, is a horse he had since he was knighted and just like reading, he must find time to ride once in a while.

| Personality |
Lord Eron is deceptively laid back and seemingly carefree, however behind his lazy eyes and smile is an incredibly sharp mind.
He is a man that enjoys being the center of attention, is comfortable with all eyes on him, and basks in the admiration of the people.
Eron is known as calm and collected, extraordinarily slow to anger and the type of person, despite his reputation, to favour peace over violence. However, when he is angered it is just as slow for those embers to ebb away, leading Eron to hunt down his source of anger and seek a reconciliation.
Outwardly, Eron is peaceful, collected, and seemingly altruistic. Yet hidden within is great ambition, rarely does he do anything except that it favours him in some way, whether it be in the short or the long term. He is calculating, pragmatic, and blunt. Yet to soften the harshness of those qualities, he has a strong sense of honour that is genuine, even though he uses that as something of a smoke screen from his deeper qualities.

| Background |
Eron was the second son to Lord Francis the Defender, born within the towers of Fort Blackreath. As the second son, he was bred from the beginning to be a knight, while his elder brother Luther was being bred to inherit their father. Eron had no problem with this,
and accepted it readily when his father bluntly told him his plans. Thus seeking to differentiate himself, he swore he would become the most renowned knight within both kingdoms and to help with this, his father squired him to Sir Jeremy the Knight of Abhainn who was,
in his prime, the knight who won the most land for the kingdom and a great thorn in Sliabh's side.
At the age of fourteen, King Fredrick held a tourney inviting all the houses and knights of the kingdom to attend, and after winning the jousting bout, Eron was knighted. Several years passed with more and more tourneys under his belt and his reputation as a knight grew within the kingdom. Upon returning to Blackreath near the borders of the two kingdoms, news came that Sliabh's forces were making a desperate gambit to recapture a city not far off. Eron was sent by his father commanding a force just under a thousand strong to meet the Sliabhs which outnumbered them almost 3:1, and yet Eron routed them, crushing their lines almost instantly and he gave chase.
Several months of battles and skirmishes between Eron and the Sliabhs, upon which the Sliabh forces met unmitigated casualties, Eron was dubbed the Herald of Death. He saw an opportunity, after months of an effective stalemate on the borders, to make a blitz into the neighbouring kingdom with a small task force behind enemy lines to disrupt their supply lines and cripple them. Yet, a message arrived to hold his position and not to advance and several weeks later, he was commanded by the king to withdraw his forces.
When he returned King Fredrick honoured him by making him a Royal Guard and Eron graciously accepted. Only to learn this was a gift meant as compensation from the King for having given their home and land to the Sliabhs. Eron, honour-bound could do nothing but watch as his family home was taken by the enemy, vowing that he would do whatever it took to take back his ancestral home.
