About Alexander MedvyedAppearance
Personality:
Alexander has a pretty easy going personality and tries to keep a calm exterior even in the face of difficult circumstance however his pride does not suffer attacks against his honor lightly. He has stood against a rain of arrows directing men under his command to push forward against the attack with calm confidence while verbal barbs have left him feeling defeated red faced and unable to adequately defend himself except to reach for his sword in answer. It is a failing that he is well aware of and he will gladly leave the battle of words to others better armed. Background:
As a nephew of Lord Gurev’s, Alexander was taught the importance of service to the crown service to house and service to the people. That meant lessons in many different fields which Alexander attacked with a focused and intense intellect. It quickly became apparent that Alexander had a talent for intellectual pursuits including magic with a particular knack with temporarily enchanting weapons which seemed to nearly sing in his hands with only a moment’s concentration. Being naturally active and fit, martial training also came easily for Alexander and it seemed as though his fighting style melding sword with magic came naturally with his trainers only needing to smooth out the rough edges. It was whispered by some that the fey blood that would occasionally pop in the Medvyed line was showing itself in Alexander while nastier rumors said that the fey had played a prank on the family and had left a Changeling in the place of the real Alexander. Such talk made Alexander's failings in the genteel arts of etiquette and diplomacy all the more difficult despite many valiant attempts to fit in at court affairs. Dealing with other noble houses in formal setting was akin to torture for him. Mostly because it became apparent early on that baiting Alexander with the odd snide comment besmirching house Medvyed or Alexander’s own personal honor, was an easy weakness to exploit giving Alexander a poor reputation within the Brevoy court as an uncontrollable hot head. It was obvious that Alexander’s talents where better suited to battle and he was given the chance to prove it. As a male of house Medvyed Militia duty was nearly compulsory in his part of the family. It was a good fit for Alexander and he took his posting seriously and learned what he could from the men and women who served under him and became competent in surviving the wilds of the Gronzi forest and the trails of the Icerime Peaks through planning and budgeting of their limited resources. These skills served him well during the winter skirmish’s his unit fought in the next year. During the cold nights at the end of Neth through to the lean snow covered days of Calistril against bandits that had taken residence in the Gronzi. That hard winter campaign was successful and taught Alexander to fight with others as a unit and about the cost of leading men into battle. Despite the harsh reality Alexander felt that such work was important and necessary. Alexander’s service in the militia was cut short after finishing the Gronzi forest campaign. During the pacification, Alexander had interrogated several bandits and a plot financed by house Surtova to undermine house Medvyed began to become apparent. Alexander wished to act on the information but was denied the request because their was no real evidence aside from the claims of these criminals. When one of the more pompous scions of that house all but admitted their culpability in front of Alexander to get a rise from him. It worked and the noble found himself bleeding from a broken nose. The incident created a large fuss at court with House Surtova demanding satisfaction. Lord Gurey felt sorry for his nephew but could not start a protracted confrontation with Surtova and directed Alexander to join the Expedition into the Stolen Lands and pulled some strings to ensure his hasty and quiet departure. To the Brevoy court Alexander is an outcast however the last conversation with his uncle left Alexander feeling otherwise. It is a test of his own abilities far from the power and protection of his noble family. Alexander is determined to show his mettle and resolve even if it may be some time before he can be clear of the stain on his name and return. Until that time Alexander is determined to live up to the motto of house Medvyed, Endurance Overcomes All. Base Combat Stats & Abilities:
