Ser Gwynn Andesh, "Blackspear", Master At Arms
Middle Aged Leader/Fighter
Bio
Ser Gwynn Andesh serves as Master At Arms to the Lord Styrion of <<Castlename>>. He is a brooding, towering man in his middle ages. He has a very strong sense of honour and duty, and is honour bound to serve his lord. He has a reputation of being hard on the men, some even say he is cruel. Nonetheless he is an inspiring war leader who certainly knows how to intimidate his opponents.
He dresses mainly in black, and frequently dons his all-black scale armour. His favoured weapon is the spear, and consequently this has earned him the nickname 'Blackspear'. Over the years he has hand selected a small group of the most capable and trusted soldiers to serve as a personal elite fighting force and honour guard. These men are known colloquially as The Stormspears, as Ser Gwynn has trained them all in the use of the spear, which he considers the most versatile of weapons.
He has never taken a wife, putting his duty to his lord before such matters. However, he certainly enjoys the company of the ladies - more often than not at the local whorehouse.
