Adrien Hathoway




Adrien a essayé de parler à Alberich alors qu'il partait. "Oh, je ne suis pas un......" Sa voix s'est un peu évanouie alors qu'Alberich allait parler au nécromancère. C'était un spectacle curieux pour Adrien, regardant les morts errer dans les bois à l'ordre de l'homme. D'une certaine manière, cela l'a un peu alarmé à la vue de quelqu'un qui pouvait ressusciter les morts et l'utiliser pour son propre profit. Toujours... c'était plutôt intrigant. La magie était extrêmement rare d'où il venait; tous ces événements qui suivirent étaient quelque chose de nouveau. Bien sûr, il a été exposé à la magie et aux créatures obscures depuis que le Seigneur des ténèbres a envahi son pays, mais ce n'est qu'à présent qu'il en saisit toute la mesure et la généralisation. Pourtant... c'était tellement surréaliste de voir qu'il était utilisé.
Il est allé à son cheval et a rangé sa lame, l'attacher au côté de sa selle. Il lui a donné quelques coups à la crinière et lui a souri, lui en parlant. "Fille facile, fille facile... c'est fini maintenant. Nous allons juste nous reposer ici un peu, okay?" Après quelques tapes à son cou, il se dirigea vers la fête, toujours vêtu d'armure. Il regarda la fête, il ne savait pas à qui s'adresser. Ses yeux s'attardaient sur le demi-elf, le « vieil » homme et le nécromant. "Alors... ce truc'magique'. Qu'est-ce que c'est exactement?" Il s'est exprimé, désespérément, pour comprendre ce phénomène insensé. Était-il possible qu'ils servent le Seigneur des Ténèbres? C'est le seul incident où il a été témoin de choses aussi folles.
Name: Adrian Hathoway
Titles: The Wandering Squire, The Would-Be Knight
Age: Twenty
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Adrian has sworn an oath to keep his armor on until he has completed his quest; the only time he takes it off is for personal or hygienic reasons. Unfortunately, because of this lifestyle, Adrian tends to be shy around others and refuses to reveal his appearance.

Personality: Adrian, as expected of someone who was to become a knight, holds a chivalrous and kindhearted mind-set. While not necessarily a knight himself, Adrian believes that if he wishes to become one, he must uphold the standard that is set out before them. Of course, his kindness is not extended to nobles who use their positions for corrupt reasons. In fact, Adrian has taken it upon himself to not swear himself to any lord; instead, Adrian wanders the land aiding those in need, which is a part of a much larger quest. An interesting take on Adrian is that he tends to be shy around women and will avoid them at any cost, provided they do not need his help. By far the most puzzling thing about him is his devoted nature to a great quest he has set out on; a personal one that he refuses to share with anyone.
Weapons: Greatsword and a lance (which he keeps attached to the side of his horse.)
Skills/Magic:
- Although he has no skill in Magic whatsoever, Adrian was taught by Sir Isabelle in the use of many weapons, including bows, spears, axes, and even daggers. His physical prowess is impressive for a young man his age. His personal favorite and most skillful weapon, which is what he commonly carries, is the greatsword; the blade has become so much of a second nature to him, that he appears to have overcome the over-bearing weight needed. Of course, he still wields it with two-hands.
- During his time as Sir Isabelle's squire, Adrian was taught how to ride a horse and to use it as effectively as possible. To this day, Adrian still uses the same horse Isabelle gave to him before she disappeared and has even give it a name; Isabelle.
History: Born in a far-away land, Adrian was the son of a nobleman who had been known for his service to his lord. As arranged between servant and lord, Adrian was to become a page and eventual squire to a knight of the realm. Initially, there were not many who would take such a weak boy in their service...that was until Sir Isabelle came and accepted the offer. Adrian's father, who had grown frustrated, reluctantly allowed his son to be taught by the lady-knight who had made such a name for herself in battles prior. The training was a difficult task for Adrian, but serving under Sir Isabelle brought great opportunities to the boy. His character and skill improved over time as the boy grew into a fine young man. It was when the country was finally attacked by the Dark Lord that everything spiraled down-hill. During the defense of the capital, Adrian and Sir Isabelle were tasked with the defense of the gate. When hope seemed to finally shine through, Sir Isabelle did the unthinkable; she surrendered the gate and opened it for the Dark Lord's forces.
The act of betrayal sent Adrian into a rage and engaged his former master. The fight, if you could call it that, lasted for a mere five seconds, when he was pushed off of the wall and fell into a pile of corpses. Unconscious and seemingly dead, Adrian was gathered with many of the corpses, outside of the city walls and near a remote village. Before the bodies could be entirely looted and burnt, a kindly old couple found the boy still alive, his body almost entirely broken. Taking him in, Adrian immediately set about recovering and honing his body for a great quest...one that would ultimately lead to what he believes his Knighthood. Finally recovered, Adrian has made a small name for himself in the villages that he has passed through, aiding the weak and helpless. To this day, Adrian still travels a lonesome road, fulfilling his duty to the now-destroyed kingdom. Hopefully, he can complete his quest....then turn his attention to The Dark Lord.
Other: Adrian appears to have a benevolent aura about him. His favorite hobby, which helps him keep in shape, is swimming.
