Ivas von Stehlen
Appearance
A tall and muscular man, Ivas is almost as tall as his brother Karl von Stehlen. Though he may look menacing on the battlefield, he is really a soft spoken and kind soul that is only trying to fit in. On the battlefield he wears lighter armour than some and because of this the blood of his enemies is easier to see, giving him the nickname "The Bloody".
Skills and Abilities
Strength Aplenty- Ivas is the strongest von Stehlen in terms of pure strength. He may not be as coordinated as his fellow brothers and sisters. Be he makes up for that in brute force.
Team Player- Though Ivas is known for his one-on-one fights on the field, he also shines wen it comes to teamwork. This has been drilled into him and every other member of the Order, that no one person is greater than the whole.
Few Trick Pony- Like most knights, Ivas knows how to wield a plethora of weapons, from swords to axes to hammers and maces to pole arms. His weapon of choice is a greatsword of giant proportion, but sometimes he'll try weapons that his sister Llyn von Stehlen comes up with.
Knight of the Boundless Rage- This comes as a strength and a weakness. On the battlefield his rage is almost unstoppable as he mows down enemies with his giant sword. He sees his enemies as the slavers that once held him captive and he shows no mercy to them. The bad part is that he must be pulled back by his comrades sometimes when an enemy flees with their life.

Weaknesses
Susceptible to Magic- Very much a close range fighter, Ivas doesn't have much defense against someone with magic abilities and relies on archers and crossbowmen to take them out first.
Susceptible to Ranged Attacks- Despite being armoured, Ivas is still somewhat defenseless against arrows and bolts. He also depends on archers and crossbowmen to take out these annoyances for him.
Terrible Tactician- Although Ivas completed the same education as Karl and Llyn, his strength has always been in following orders and fighting. Not one for coming up with a strategy, he'll let someone else do that sort of thinking and he just hacks and slashes.

Personality
Ivas has two sides to him, the rage-filled beast on the battlefield that enemies fear, and the soft spoken, kind, and helpful boy. From many years of abuse and slavery, he pours his anger into his enemies and leaves nothing behind. But while on patrol or working around the city and barracks he is gentle and always tries to fit in and be helpful. He's not as strategic as some of his fellow members, but he follows orders flawlessly and doesn't question his superiors.
He is also a very lonely and sad person. Like his brother Karl, his face doesn't show much emotion. But instead of looking a little unimpressed or angry like Karl, he looks forlorn and empty. When talking to him he is very respectful and honest to a fault. He has no problems telling things as they are, even if those things are a little cruel. He truly feels that he is still an outcast despite having the family constantly tell and show him that he is one of them.

Biography & Lore
Ivas von Stehlen was the name given to him by the head of the von Stehlen household. Before this he was simply known as Trash. He never had a name before that as his parents sold him into slavery before he could even speak. After working years and years on different farms or households, he was finally sent on a caravan to an unknown location. Or so he thought. Instead he was on a caravan for slaves that were to be brought to the forest and executed for being either too weak, not doing well at their job, or they just simply wanted to kill them. As the other slaves were dying, the Order ambushed them as they were in their territory of Strojland. When all of the slavers were dead the head of the household took him in and gave him the name Ivas. A name he has cherished ever since. He started training as a page and squire, trying to follow the footsteps of his new brother Karl. When Karl became the youngest knight at seventeen, Ivas worked even harder to follow him and not be another disappointment. A few years later at the age of nineteen Ivas was knighted and has taken his duties seriously and without question since.
Relationships
- Karl von Stehlen- Ivas and Karl are close in age, size, and physical ability. They are very close although most people might not see it that way as they share a bond so close that it's usually a silent mutual respect. Ivas looks up to Karl and strives to be a better fighter like him. They often spar with each other, with Karl winning most of the time but Ivas has beat him a few times. He may be stronger than Karl, but Karl has better fighting prowess.
- Llyn von Stehlen- Llyn and Ivas are close just as Karl and Ivas are. Ivas would say that he is closer to Llyn than he is to Karl, but only due to the amount of time spent with her being her guinea pig. She often has him test out her new and dangerous inventions and weapons. She also rants and raves about things while Ivas sits there and listens, like she does with Karl. Although Ivas gives more feedback than Karl does and answers her with honesty, sometimes too much honesty. Sometimes they also go out to taverns or parties together if she nags Ivas long enough or if he owes her a favour.
- Edgar Baumkrieger- Ivas's mentor. Edgar was hard on Ivas, knowing that he had potential as Karl did and working with him through his rage and bitter hatred for slavers. Edgar is not as tall as Ivas or Karl, only standing close to 6', but his skill in fighting is also remarkable. When Ivas or Edgar are not patrolling separate sides of the city and territory, they can be found training as Ivas still believes he has a ways to go even if Edgar doesn't think so. Or they can be found at night at a local tavern drinking and being a little more social.
