[Mythre]

Name: Geoffry Alexandros Wilson

Rank: Knight
Age: 21
Family: a wife, Alexia
Description: 6 foot: short, dusty blond hair: A odd combination of Greek and English blood.

Bio: Geoffry's father, Aethelstan III was the younger of two brothers in his fathers family. As a result, he did not inherit any lands. So Aethelstan decided to travel and ended up in Byzantium. There he met and married a Byzantine woman named Anna. Soon after Geoffry was born. Aethelstan fought as a knight in Byzantium's service for many years. Despite live in Byzantine lands, he raised Geoffry as a Englishman. He taught him the long passed down ways of the Huscarl and added to it Byzantine discipline. He taught Geoffry all he knew about tactics and strategy, which was not inconsequential as Aethelstan was by then a trusted captain. When Geoffry was 18, he found a wife from Byzantium. Then came the Fourth Crusade. Aethelstan was outraged at the sacking of Constaniople but even then he could not bring himself to fight his fellow Christians. At this time though, a message came from England that said that his older brother had died with no heirs. Thus seeing as he could not fight for the Crusaders or for the Empire, he returned to England. This all happened when Geoffry was 18. However, Aethelstan died in a skirmish with bandits on the way to England and Geoffry took his fathers place as heir to the family estates.

My family's armor and weapons. Geoffry is soon going to augment the chain mail with some Byzantine lamellar plates.

[O'Ciarain]

Name: Athelstan
Rank: Freeman, aspiring to be a knight
Heritage: Saxon
Age: 18
Short Biography: Athelstan was born in what used to be known as Wessex. And Wessex was ruled by his Ancestors, as was England. Athelstan is a direct descendant to the House of Wessex. However, his relation to the House of Wessex is due to an extramarital affair between Athelstan the Glorious and one of his ancestors. She had a son, and had she been married to Athelstan the Glorious, the current Athelstan might have been king. But nooooo, King Athelstan the Glorious could not be caught up in extramarital affairs, so he never saw the woman he laid ever again. Nor sent word, even after she sent him a letter, telling him of their son. That son had produced proud children, telling them all of their lineage, and quite a few took after Athelstan the Glorious. The father, and grandfather of the current Athelstan had even been knights. Now, Athelstan himself searched for knighthood, just as his father and his grandfather had. Athelstan was a little bit more unorthodox in the weapon he preferred, the battle axe, but he was remarkably effective, nonetheless. Due to living around knights, he had acquired a nice hunger for knowledge of strategies and tactics, so his already sharp brain, was constantly on the lookout for more stratagems that he could pick up and maybe utilize in battle as a commander, when and if he got that high in rank. Currently, Athelstan is the squire of Sir Owen Davis the Bard, Baron of Cornwall. He has also joined a secret order of warriors, along with King Alerick himself, and has been able to purchase new, plate armor, thanks to the King as well.

[Saint_jimmyz]

Name: Zyraxes the Bloody-Handed

Rank: Freedman, aspiring to be Knight

Heritage: Byzantine/Thracian

Languages: Thracian, a scattering of Greek and English

Age: 27

Short Biography:
I grew up in the harsh hills of my fatherland of Thrace, a province of the mighty Byzantine Empire. When I was a mere 18 years old I signed up for military service, and was trained in the Thracian light infantry, masters of the javalins and the rhomphaia. During my time as a soldier I saw combat in several major battles between Bulgarian barbarians and the Byzantine Empire, in which I have slain many men. Having finished my tour of duty without a single promotion due to my 'inferior' birth, and tiring of the constant fighting in my homeland, I have journeyed to England to seek a better life in the service of a fair ruler, along with the rest of my unit in the Byzantine legions. During one attack on our home village our men were all widowed in a single day by the Bulgarians barbarians, and our homes burned to the ground. With no family or home left me and the 20-or-so men left under my command we have journed to East Wessex, where we have set up our own small farming community in the hills. Several of my men have remarried, but as of yet I have not. I have no interest in the politics of my chosen realm, but aspire to my earned share of wealth and status deserved for someone of my martial skill.

[Unbowed]

Name: Benwick "Black Thumb" Barlow, 1st of his name, 1st of his line.
Age: 20
Heritage: English/Norweigan
Languages: Fluent in English, Norse and Welsh
Class / Rank: Freedman
Allegiance: As of now to no man, but has recently pledged his axe to Baron Arn Magnusson.
Home: A small cottage and farm in the deep country is surprisingly what a massive man such as Benwick calls home. With barely no livestock, and a crop diminished and small, he lives on scraps, until such a time as his fortune grows. Despite this, he is content, his motto ringing Humble Holding for Humble Men
Biography: Born into the turmoil of life as a rebel lords son in the far north, Benwick donned his armour and blade at a young age. The frozen soldiers as he called them were proficient and deadly, but as he increased in size, and grew in valour, the foolish Norse broke before his axe; no holdfast or safe place kept away from Benwick son of Bjorn. However the glory soon ended, his father slain by an Englishman gaining revenge for the thieving of his wife, Benwick's mother, despite the girl loving the North more than that slimy island. Benwick slew the man for that.

But trapped in the frozen wastes, with no home and the rebel gang smashed before him, Benwick soon succumbed to the cold. His ear grew black, and the pain was needle sharp. His days were spent shivering from the winds or shaking from the ache. When Benwick tore it off, it was almost a relief. Yet when his right thumb also began to blacken, Benwick simply lopped it off, axe brandished.

Fever muddled, and half dead from infection, Benwick continued to wander. His wandering led him onto a ship, and that ship to England, home of his mother. He hoped there he could find some family, or at least some honour.

Coat of Arms: None, as of yet.
