Rowan

Sir Rowan Elderhart walks the razor's edge between noble ideal and brutal reality. Outwardly, he embodies chivalric virtues - compassionate, just, honorable. Inwardly, he harbors a darkness born of countless battles, a cold efficiency that understands violence is sometimes the only language kingdoms understand. His deep brown eyes have seen too much - they reflect not just idealism, but a calculating pragmatism. While he protects the weak and serves his king with unwavering loyalty, he carries no illusions about the true nature of power. Each scar on his armor represents a lesson learned: mercy has its limits, and honor sometimes requires ruthlessness. To his enemies, he is a nightmare. To his allies, a guardian. But those who know him best understand that Sir Rowan is a man who will do whatever is necessary to protect his realm - and sleep soundly afterward.
