Ghent





Name: Ghent

Age: 28

Hair: Black

Eyes: Grayish blue

Height: 6'1"

Scars/markings: Visible, jagged scar that runs down his right eye. Various scars are hidden underneath his clothing from past abuse.

Clothes: Most clothes are made from black leather, his cloak has a hood and a mask to cover the lower half of his face. Ghent's clothes are dark and therefore he has plenty of various weaponry concealed; he often wears fingerless gloves, laced up bracers, and boots.

History: Ghent's family was very often poor and lived in a lower part of a small, poverty-stricken town. His mother passed away shortly after giving birth to her second son, Garth. Ghent was ten years in age when she passed.

 Ghent's father turned to drinking heavily and he came to blame his children for the loss of his wife. It wasn't long before the man become verbally, and then physically abusive. The abuse went on for three years and Ghent took the majority of it. Fearing for Garth, Ghent took matters into his own hands; at the age of thirteen, he took his younger brother and left home, never once looking back.

Life on the road was not an easy one, but he was determined to tough it out for his brother so that they would not have to return to their father. At first Ghent began with petty theft; he stole what was needed in order to keep them alive, they took shelter where they could and lied whenever questioned. As the years went on, they moved up in the world. After years of practice, Ghent became a highly skilled thief. This was the start of a life he would live well past his teenage years.

Personality: Ghent has an eerie calmness about him and his emotions are seldom ever shown. Because of this, he is very difficult to read -- almost impossibly so. Ghent handles matters in a diplomatic way and doesn't often resort to dealing with his men in a physical manner, but he will do what is needed to keep them in line. As opposed to Garth, Ghent is quiet and does not say much, if anything, about his past. Much of what is known of him was told by his brother.

Family: Mother: (deceased). Garth: (brother, deceased). Father: (whether or not he is alive is unknown, whereabouts are unknown). Kaiden (cousin, deceased).

Weapons skill: Ghent is proficient with a wide array of weapons, but he is most skilled with using twin swords. His fighting style is of being quick and agile, yet he knows where to deliver the wound that will count the most. If Ghent wants a man dead, he knows how to do it, but he seldom kills unless absolutely necessary.
