Sir Henri of Longworth

  • Race: Irillian Human
  • Sex: Male
  • Age: 58
  • Status: Retired to manor in Selcaria

Background

Sir Henri is more than just another knight of the realm. He is one of the greatest knights to serve in all of Selcaria. His victories in the tournaments were too numerous to count, while his victories on the battlefield has earned him untold glory. There is no single banner so recognized anywhere in Selcaria than the twin coiled dragons of Sir Henri. More than one occasion an attacking army has sued for peace just by seeing his banner among the many of his enemy. As age slowly wore down his own fighting capability, Sir Henri undertook the task of transforming himself in to a strategist and knight-general.

It was in his task as a knight-general that he earned praises that will last long after his own death. Several times he has taken a numerically inferior force and defeated forces twice his number. On one side he has rallied with the peasantry to overthrow cruel overlords and on the other has sided with the nobles against fractious rebels. It is not the enemy or the glory that Sir Henri now craves, but the sense of justice that centers his life. So he tends his house and practices his weapons for the day when a cause so righteous that he is sought out again. If the cause be just then Sir Henri will again don armour, prepare weapons, and march to war.

Appearance

The bloom of youth has long withered off Sir Henri, but his regimen of weapon practice and knightly duties have kept him in physical if not emotional shape. Still, while the years have been kind on his body and mind, there is only so much one can do as the clock runs down. In his twilight years what hair remains is gray, his limbs not as strong, and his joints ache more with each gallop. So distracting is the simple pleasure of a horse that Sir Henri almost always rides around in his carriage or wagon anymore. PC Connection

Sir Henri could be a very good ally for any group that wishes to better the lives of all people that live within Selcaria. He will not deal with anyone that seeks to reunite the kingdoms with the Irillian Empire or those that don't do justice to their lords and servants. His only true blindspot is his personal dislike of all things magick. While he does not go in crusades to destroy magick, he doesn't seek it out either.
