Name: Henry of Dhrim
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Faction of Birth: Swadia
Allegiance: Mercenary
Experience: Veteran
FeudalRank: Super minor nobility, former Man-at-Arms
Appearance: Henry is a fairly tall man, standing nearly six feet tall, and weighs in at just over 200 pounds. His hair is auburn coloured and kept cut short, close to the scalp and his facial hair is removed as often as possible, usually leaving him with a fair bit of stubble. He has a number of scars from conflicts he has fought in over the past twelve years.
Personality: While he was once fairly quick tempered, he had the good fortune to have that beaten out of him by the master of arms that trained him and his brothers in swordsmanship, and any lingering doubts knocked clear of his head when he tried to pick a fight with someone much larger and more experienced soldier who had no qualms about beating the young man senseless. He is a fan of women, especially the part where they have sex with him and will make a point about trying to bed a woman in each town, castle or village he visits.

Talents: He is trained in the use of sword, lance and axes and has a lot of experience in using them in combat. Outside of that, his secret pride is that he can cook with no small amount of skill and has a decent head for logistics, though it’s not a skill he practices normally.

Biography: Henry was born the third son of a knight attached to the retinue of Count Devlian. His life was spent learning how to fight, as his eldest brother was groomed to manage the small estates his father held and his second brother was destined to be a member of the small administration at Dhrim. Henry was expected to be at the call of his oldest brother, Albrecht but the two did not get along. Only five years older than him, Henry resented the way his brother acted as though he were in charge and attempted to order him around. While his brother was older than him, Henry was a fast grower, and faster learner and when the two came to blows it was a toss up to see who would win.
As the years dragged on Henry focused his anger and resentment into arms practice, and by the time he was 16 he was one of the better swordsmen within his small sphere of soldiers. At 17 he rode with his father and brother to combat the brief Rhodok invasion, and while that ended indecisively, Henry did begin to make a name for himself as a warrior. The next four years were some of the most miserable of his life however, as his father died shortly after returning from the campaign and his brother assumed control of the family. Not that Albrecht was a bad lord, but Henry did not get along well with his brother and spent as much of his time away from the small estate as he could, often in Dhrim at the arena where he further honed his skills, and made a fair bit of extra money to supplement the incredibly modest retainer he was paid by his brother.
He left at the age of 21 to join up with Count Devlian’s father, Count Clais as a man-at-arms when King Harleus went to war with the Khergits, and hasn’t been back home since, abandoning his name and heritage. After the war he became something of a wanderer, taking odd contracts when he needed money, which was often, and fought a number of small border conflicts, bounty hunting missions and caravan escorting over the course of the next seven years. He eventually wound up in Jelkala after hearing a rumour that there would be work available, and feeling that it would be much healthier than being found in the bedroom of yet another man's wife.

Equipment:
Worn (clothing/armor): In battle he wears a mail hauberk, a kettle helmet, khergit boots, and a sturdy pair of leather gloves. Outside of combat he was a couple of loose shirts and trousers that he’ll rotate through and an old cloak that bears the faded family crest of a trio of phoenixes rising from flames.

Weapons (melee weapons, shields and ranged weapons): Heavy bastard sword, Iron war ax, heavy heater shield, four or five knives mostly used for cooking/eating and a light lance.

Horse: Grey courser named Boy. He later discovered that Boy was actually a female, but didn’t care enough to change the name.

Miscellaneous (anything else): Pair of waterskins, a few rations left from the trip, bedroll, cooking supplies (iron frying pan, iron pot, pair of large spoons and a small collection of spices).
