Jehan de Challon

Jehan et sa lance étaient debout et éveillés en temps utile. Ils ont mangé le petit déjeuner ensemble, avant qu'ils ne s'arment pour la bataille. Jehan appela son écuyer et ses valets et bientôt il fut blindé et prêt à tout ce que le jour lui lancerait. Ses gantelets pendaient de sa ceinture, et Henri apportait son casque une fois qu'il avait fini de revêtir sa propre armure.
Une fois toute la lance prête, ils sont allés écouter le commandant. Le discours a été un désordre dès le début et son ennui des commandants de l'incompétence était évident pour tous ceux qui regardaient. Puis, quand Silas s'est levé et a fait un court travail du commandant Jehan a trouvé que c'était un peu d'amusement sombre dans toute l'affaire. Charles a mis la main sur son épée et a fait un pas en avant alors Jehan s'est emparé de son épaule et l'a tiré en arrière. "Reste ta main" Jehan a dit doucement, "Je l'entendrais, si seulement pour mon propre amusement." Cela, cependant, ne l'a pas empêché de garder une main près de son poignard rondel. Des actions de ce genre pourraient se décomposer dans la force qui lutte elle-même si les opinions étaient scindées. Bien que la plupart semblent convenir que le commandant était un bouffon.
Jehan a ronflé à l'histoire de Dixon. Jehan a murmuré, "Cinq hommes n'est pas une armée." En fait, ce n'était même pas une entreprise. Aucun véritable commandant ne s'enfuirait comme dans l'histoire. Il aurait eu des éclaireurs pour un. Mais, compte tenu de l'incompétence de leur propre commandant, il n'était peut-être pas si étrange qu'une telle chose puisse se produire. En fin de compte, cela n'a pas d'importance, c'était une histoire; la bataille à venir était réelle avec des menaces réelles.
Comme Dixon a mentionné les deux dames Jehan simplement roulé ses yeux et à la fin il a serré la tête. "Bloody lowlife." Il a dit sous son souffle et l'un de ses archers s'est branlé.
En fin de compte, il accepta la tactique proposée et sa propre position devint le flanc gauche. Il savait qu'il le pouvait, avec un certain soutien, tenir le siens avec son armure s'imprégnant la plupart, sinon tous les coups. Pourtant, il avait une lance à commander et devait le faire de la manière qui a assuré le succès ou du moins a augmenté les chances. Jehan habillait sa lance, "Henri, tu seras avec moi. Charles, vous êtes toujours au centre avec l'équipe 1, il pourrait avoir besoin d'un homme à bras pour tenir le front." C'était ses hommes lourdement armés assignés. Puis il y avait les trois archers, "Vincent, Adrian, Martin. Voyez si vous pouvez trouver d'autres archers, puis avancez avant l'avant. Alors que l'ennemi se rapproche, mettez-y quelques flèches avant de se replier derrière le front. Alors, alors que tu n'as plus de flèches, Vincent et Adrian se joindront à moi. Martin, vous rejoindrez la mêlée au centre avec Charles. » Enfin, le tour vers les deux valets, Michael et Johannes, « Restez avec la réserve, gardez un oeil sur les flancs. Soyez prêt à faire avancer les hommes si nécessaire."

Alors que la formation se formait et se préparait à la bataille, la lance de Jehan trouva sa place. Charles avec le centre, Henri avec Jehan et les archers prêts à avancer. "Bascinet" dit-il, regardant en arrière à son écuyer qui lui a donné son casque tandis que Jehan a donné sa poleaxe à Henri pour qu'il le tienne. Jehan a mis son casque, mais n'a pas fermé la visière. Il a pris ses gantelets de sa ceinture et les a mis avant de reprendre sa poleaxe d'Henri.
Jehan a regardé Amare, l'inspectant. Il ne connaissait pas l'homme, Jehan l'avait vu dans le camp, pas que cela signifiait quoi que ce soit. "Prêt"? Il a demandé calmement.
Name: Jehan de Challon
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Appearance: Jehan is tall with a muscular build, making him rather imposing. He also has a certain martial grace and youthful vigour, making him quicker then one would probably guess. His eyes are a bright blue and his hair blond and cut short. His face is stern, but not unkind and it is mostly unremarkable, except a prominent nose.
It is notable that his clothes, normally a doublet with a mantle and hose, are of rather fine quality, which suggests that he is from a well-off family. To battle he wears a suit of armour with a bascinet for helm.



(I can probably find one that shows the face somewhere if I take some time to look.)
Bio: Jehan is the fourth son of a Count in the southern Empire. His upbringing was therefore a good one in most aspects. He never went hungry or lacked a roof above his head. Though he faced his own challenges, be it three older brothers, his father or the high expectations of him in all he did.
Growing up, he had a good education with good tutors that his father paid for. He never found the lessons any fun, and more often then not tried to escape them. Though there was one exception; the lessons of history and battles intrigued him and it became the only lesson he actually looked forward too. As he became older, there was another lesson that he grew to enjoy; the lessons with the swordmaster. Not because the old Knight was a good teacher, but because he had the childish hope of many to become one of those grand knights of the tales. So, while his training with the Knight became a painful affair, with enough bruises through the years to fill a book if he had counted them and written them down plus a few broken fingers and other aches.
With time, and not really his own choice he became a diligent boy, always working with some task or trying to improve himself. At first it was because of his father and tutors forced him to. But it had become something he simply did without anyone telling him before long, and without really noticing he found he enjoyed to always be working on something. Even so, he often found himself to be a disappointment to his father who always held his first born in the highest regard and his fourth son in the lowest. His brothers were not much better, even calling him "The lesser son" often enough for it to stick.
As he came of age, he was perhaps not the most well-read in anything but history or even the most skilled with the sword, which he came to blame on his lousy teacher. But he had become self-assured even if his brothers and father did not believe in him. The first thing he did was to find a better sparring partner which would come to increase his ability drastically. Sparring became the daily activity he enjoyed most, and for the most part he had very little to do. His father gave the more interesting and important tasks to his brothers which left him with very little to do. That is not to say he had no tasks, for he had the odd task of leading men to hunt bandits or going out to the villages and arbitrate in disputes in place of his father.
But trouble brewed in the rest of the Empire, he asked to leave his fathers side to earn a reputation elsewhere. It was with some surprise that his father granted his wish and sent him away with his blessing, a new set of armour and weapons and a fully equipped lance to boot. He had planned to go even if his father denied him, but he could not deny that this was much better.
As he set out, and later joined the Blood Rose Company it was with a lance of him as the Man-of-Arms, together with his squire Henri, and his coutilier and old sparring partner Charles. Lastly, two valets and three archers.
