=='''History'''== *Born in the small fief of Bryn. Son of Sir Tarqual of Bryn and his Lady Louisa.(reportedly) An only child. Raised working to make the small fief profitable despite the frequent absences of his father. *Page to the Court of Avalon at 8 to 10. Squired to Sir Gawain at 14. Knighted at 18. He was knighted during the final years of Lord Corwin's time. *In his youth he befriended a hermit near his home that he frequently visited. They spent a lot of his free time together talking mostly of gardening and the growing of things. When he was a young knight he defended the hermit from warwolves and received the blessing/curse of long life from him. When he reached 45 years of age he stopped aging. Not a young man in shape or demeanor he became a bit bitter at the gift the hermit had granted him. Not eternal youth-eternal middle age. *As time went by and people aged and died his longevity became a thing of fear and legend giving him an undeserved dark reputation(1 pip bad stuff). However, whenever there was a need he was willing to fight for the cause. Usually he travels, having no set home. He talks little but when he speaks it is usually seriously. *While extraordinarily strong, with a solid understanding of warfare and nearly endless endurance, he was taciturn, and kept his own counsel, never engaging in the petty squabbles of the other knights. *Scrupulously clean, a habit that earned him some mocking but nothing harsh since he was known to settle insults quickly and directly. *He avoids bloodshed if at all possible but has no qualms about slaying a foe in open combat. He enjoys chivalric games such as jousts and Lists where he can test his prowess and not take life. However, he is usually quiet and rarely boasts or brags. Yet he will not be abused by those that think themselves his better without good reason. *He has been known to practice the chivalry practice of bridge keeping. Setting up his pavilion and camp near a bridge and defend it against all knightly crossers. Challenging them to joust or sword combat to pass. He refuses to slay his defeated foes and only requires they give their shield to him till the winter solstice when he returns to court and presents the shields to the ruler of Avalon, requesting they return them to their owners. During these periods of bridge keeping he will ask if a knight of the court to loan him a squire to serve him for the summer since he takes no squires of his own. *Plays the flute. Rarely plays it in a performance setting unless specifically called upon to do so and the setting is appropriate. Yet often plays in the warcamps and at the fires of sergeants and men at arms. His fraternization with the lower classes my be looked down on but he genuinely enjoys their company. Never plays in taverns or drinking halls unless it is appropriate. His silver flute is heavily cast and has been used as a baton to settle fights. *Enjoys gardening and raising food when he stays someplace long enough, a hobby that some knights might mock him for but coming from a hardscrabble fief its a skill he has long tended. He is often seen eating carrots, apples, and other easy to carry foods. *Fond of horses and training horses for the plow and for the warfield. Is considered a good judge of horse flesh. *While he rarely champions women in the Lists he is known to champion a woman for a decade or so at a time. He is a romantic at heart but is not interested in hearth and home. This aspect sometimes make women take an interest in this dark figure of a man. *Often found sleeping. Says that his father told him a wise man sleeps as much as possible against the times when sleep can not be had. *He lives austerely. He owns very little. What his horse and two pack mules can carry. Pavilion, rugs, bed, several chairs, table. Chess board. . Cooking equipment. Armor repair equipment. such supplies. While he ,ay have lodgings at court he is not known to collect things.
