Mannelig
Mannelig is a well travelled and veteran mercenary. He's fought and bled for countless nobles, merchant princes, petty lords, and kings and queens of all walks of life. He is skilled with most weapons, though his preference for lance and sword is evident. His blunt and seemingly indifferent nature hides a calculating mind and a soft heart tempered by years of war. His first loyalty is to his men with gold a solid second.
Appearance
Mannelig is tall and broad with brown hair and blue eyes. Were it not for his weather worn features, rugged clothes, and distant stare, he could easily pass as nondescript.
Skills and Abilities
Mannelig is skilled with most traditional martial weapons from clubs to longbow, but his primary weapons of choice are the lance, the sword, and the shield. He is also a veteran rider with years of campaigning and mounted combat under his belt. While not as skilled as merchants or diplomats, he knows his way around negotiations, particularly when it comes to contract payment.
Personality
Described as cold and aloof by some or indifferent and uncaring by others, Mannelig is a quiet, reserved man. His quiet tone amid contract negotations hides a booming, commanding bellow on the battlefield and his ruthlessness on the field has been known to be tempered by mercy. He is a man who has been known to gut a bandit or foe without a second thought, yet later gives to the poor without hesitation.
