Name: Zaath
Class: Myrmidon --> Swordmaster
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Bright, almost luminescent Blue.
Age: 29
Appearance: His height is 6" 1. He also is 178 lbs, not including his armor and clothes. He has a fairly muscular build that makes him fairly intimidating. Zaath has no visible scars. This also includes birth marks; none. The only markings on his body are on his back, which looks to be 14 spires protruding down from a central circle located at the base of his neck.
Clothes: Zaath wears dark plates which cover his chest, shoulders, forearms, and shins. The plates are light, and do not slow him down, but give him minimal defenses. Under the plates, he wears a dark silk shirt, not too loose. The shirt comes down a little farther than his torso. Zaath wears thin black-dyed woolen pants on his person. He wears leather boots that are covered with similar dark plates that are shielding his body. His cloak is made of a thick wool, that is dyed a very dark gray. The cloak includes a hood, mostly for protection from the weather.
Born in: His birth place is unknown being that he was orphaned, but grew up in a village called Falchion, in Bern.
Story: Eleven year old Zaath was discovered laying on a riverbank in the forest near Falchion, muddied and spattered with blood, when a middle aged farm worker named Joshua Ericsson found him, Zaath barley clinging too life. There where signs of a vicious battle between Zaath companions and some form of animal. Drag marks, massive amounts of human blood, and even the horses that where pulling what was believed too have been transporting Zaath and his companions where mangled and mostly gone, but a few parts of the horses remained. a couple days after Joshua found Zaath, people reported seeing bodies float down the river. Joshua took Zaath in and raised him, letting Zaath work for his own wages at the town lords farm. Zaath was a disturbed child. He worked hard all day and stayed healthy, thankful always to the farmworker for saving him from the brink of death, but there was something off about him. He hyperventilated in his sleep and occasionally convulsed.
About a year after Joshua took him in, be began attending the local school, Though it seemed that when he started he already had a basic understanding of the subjects, perhaps remnants of a past life..? He learned (Or remembered) to read and write, do math, history and even learn how to fence, a forefront for his sword wielding skill that taught him to value speed and agility over heavy platemail. A couple of years after he started attending school, He began apprenticeship at a local blacksmith shop. The blacksmith started paying Zaath a few weeks after he began, due too the quality of his work and his dedication. Even after all the fortune Zaath had had the joy of experiencing he still seemed troubled.
At the age of seventeen, he took his savings (Quite a sum), his light platemail (Which he still wears(He could perform blacksmithing too this day, but does not have the means too do so, due to his nomadic nature) he forged himself, An sword and set off, too explore the world and expand his mind, but also too rid himself of the haunted feeling that hung over him sense the day Joshua found him. He continued his schooling in Lycia and moved on too Sacae where he worked as a mercenary. Along the way he fought against everything from bandits too wild animals, and all of them where felled. Zaath was a ferocious warrior, wielding his sword in hand with his unbridled, almost berserk rage. It was as though he took every attack personally. Zaath had truly cultivated his skill as a swordsman and his knowledge as a scholar. He still felt as though he was shrouded in darkness. He eventually moved on too the wastes of Nabata, where he became lost in a sandstorm...
