Gawain Macellan is the son of the Ulfen Warlord Hrothgar Macellan, a distinguished and powerful warrior as well as an infamous horseman for the Ulfen lords. Gawain chose to leave his home when he reached manhood, taking with him only his armor, some basic traveling supplies and his sword, as well as his horse, the powerful and distinguished stallion Brecker.

Gawain took with him also his father's parting words, "Find ye a King boy, a man is nothing without a Lord to stand in the service of. Without them, we are as we Ulfens were thousands of years ago, lawless raiders of martial skill with no purpose but food, ale and whores! Find ye someone to pledge your blade to my Son, and make me proud!"

Ready to see the wide world beyond the frozen lands of Linnorm, Gawain took to his father's words and rode Brecker out across the plains and south, taking a ship that would take him and his steed to the warmer southlands of Andor, where he sought a worthy enough liege lord to pledge his blade to. During his time there, he entered into the service of Ottman and Son's trading company as a caravan guard and soon after the personal bodyguard of the convoy. Ottoman, a good man in all regards, knew however that Gawain had a greater destiny than this, and sent him off towards Taldor with a letter from an old friend, encouraging Gawain with the news that there he might find what and who he was looking for.

Those who cannot lead must follow, and while Gawain is proud, assertive and strong, he does not see himself as a ruler of any kind. Instead, he searches still for a lord to pledge his blade under. A man is nothing without something to fight for.

Gawain is a tall man with a heavily built body of a Ulfen in his prime, strong, proud and noble. His black hair is thick but cut only to his ears and combed back repeatedly over the years until it held the shape permanently and his face sports a thick goatee beard and long mustaches. His eyes are crystal blue and he sports many scars from his duels and battles over the years. On his back he carries a two-handed broadsword that he wields with distinction and practice, although he has also trained in the warrior arts of wielding a Long-sword and shield. He currently wears Scale-Mail armor crafted by one of his father's man warsmiths.

His Horse, Brecker, is a mighty black stallion, a warhorse raised from some of the finest stock in the world. He has been trained over the years to carry Gawain into combat and does so easily, moving as if the two were actually one being.
