Appearance:
Gender: Male
Profession: Soldier: Man-at-arms
Appearance:
Henry is 6’3” tall with sandy blond hair and sparkling brown eyes. He is trim, yet muscular with washboard abs and not an ounce of fat on him, but is not your typical hulking fighter. He normally is clean shaven, but his beard grows fast and so he often has that five-o-clock shadow look. His face has that rugged square jaw, high cheek bones and a straight nose and is considered to be quite handsome by most women. He wears typical soldier clothing most of the time, but for fancy occasions he has a couple of very nice outfits, one in blue and one in green, both with gold trim. He normally wears leather armor and carries a long sword on his hip and a short sword between his shoulder blades along with a couple of daggers. His shield now has Katrina’s badge painted on it and his fighting over tunic is black and silver to identify him as her man-at-arms.Personality:
Henry is honest, straightforward and trusting. He loves to have a good time, but does not like to be in the limelight. He prefers to sit back and observe people, especially in formal social situations. He comes from a family of cow herders and loves animals. He is very polite and formal to most women and finds their attention a bit embarrassing. He was initially attracted to Katrina because she treated him the same as his army buddies did and ignored his good looks. Later he wished that she had shown more interest in him. He is intelligent and a quick learner and fiercely loyal, first to Katrina and secondly to the Crown.History:
Henry grew up on a farm in southern Norgate in a good family with a bunch of brothers and sisters. He yearned for adventure, so when he turned 14 he joined the army. He quickly made friends and became the guy in the unit that everyone could count on to back them up and the one who helped his classmates when they fell behind or needed help on the obstacle course or the runs. He often mediated disputes between his army buddies and rarely got involved in arguments or confrontations through school and even afterwards. He was stationed in Macindaw Castle just recently where he admired Katrina from afar until his first mission with her. He went on a border patrol with her and three other men and she nearly ran them all into the ground with forced marches and endless days of hiding, spying and hiking through the wilderness with little or no sleep. The other three men were heartily glad to return to Macindaw and do what they can to avoid being assigned with her again because she was such a hard taskmaster, but Henry worked out a deal with another man and got a second patrol with her. Now he is Katrina’s man-at-arms and is generally pretty happy.Additional Information:
Henry is now Katrina de Montgomery’s personal man-at-arms and is responsible for her safety and ensuring she has what she needs to do her job. He is hopelessly in love with her, but doesn’t figure he has much of a chance with her because he is a commoner and she is nobility.
