I'd like to give a short description of my character's background.
Sir Adhemar is a master Cavalier whose ancestors came from Holt centuries earlier to help found a city in the Forlorne Mountains. That city is called Schwannburgh, the City of the Swan, and he was born and grew up there. Adhemar's family was very wealthy and old, and many of his ancestors had been Cavaliers in an order called the Order of the Swan. He, like his ancestors who had been in that order, is a servant of a being called the Chalice, of which much can be said, but that would be a digression.
Adhemar has been fighting since he was 14 and joined the order as a soldier. Five years later, he became an apprentice in the Cavaliers' Guild. A year or so after he became a Cavalier, he was sent to Evermoore. After several months, he went home and fought for his city against the Orcs. His side lost and he was among the few to escape because he had been assigned to help protect the Chalice in its departure from the city. Years later, he returned there with it, to find the Orcs had wrecked it and killed or driven away almost everyone who lived there. His own family were among the dead.
In the interim, he had fought many battles in Evermoore and Inverness as one of the Order of the Panther. He also worked his way up through the ranks to become Master, and had acted as Guildmaster of his guild for a number of years. Once the Order of the Panther had ended, he decided to create his own order.
It will be a year since he had last been to Evermoore when he returns this April, and in that time, he'd been taken prisoner fighting the Orcs near his city, released by himself and set to wandering in the mountains in an effort to recover his honor and his right to lead others.
As I said, this is brief. There is a lot more to all this, but this is a good start.
