About Ordric, Count Ethelred
Edges:
Brawny - Your bruiser is very large or perhaps just very fit. His bulk resists damage better than most and adds +1 to his Toughness. In addition, the character can carry more than most proportional to his Strength. He can carry 12 times his Strength in pounds without penalty instead of the usual 8 times his Strength.
Noble - Those born of noble blood have many perks in life, but often have just as many responsibilities. Nobles have high status in their societies, are entitled to special treatment from their foes, gain +2 Charisma, and also have the Rich Edge. This gives the hero several Edges for the price of one, but the responsibilities more than offset the additional perks. Nobles often have troops under their control, as well as land, a family home, and other assets. All of this must be determined by the GM, and balanced by the grave responsibilities the character faces.
As an example, a character in a fantasy campaign might have a company of swordsmen, a small keep, and even a magical sword he inherited from his father. But he also has an entire region to manage, criminals to judge, justice to mete out, and a jealous neighbor who covets his lands and constantly plots against him at court
Hindrances:
Code of Honor (Major) - Honor is very important to your character. He keeps his word, won’t abuse or kill prisoners, and generally tries to operate within his world’s particular notion of proper gentlemanly or ladylike behavior
Vengeful (minor) - Your character always attempts to right a wrong he feels was done to him. If this is a Minor Hindrance, he usually seeks vengeance legally. The type and immediacy of his vengeance varies by character, of course. Some plot and scheme for months to extract what they see as justice. Others demand immediate results.
If this is a Major Hindrance, your character will kill to rectify his perceived injustice.
Loyal (Minor) - Your character may not be a hero, but he’d give his life for his friends. This character can never leave a man behind if there’s any chance at all he could help.

Apearance:
Count Ordric is a tall man with brown wavy hair, which he keeps short. He has piercing green eyes and wears a goatee and a moustache.
Background:
With Count Karl Ethelred recent passing and his oldest son dying in a storm, the title of Count has passed to Ordric, his middle son. Lacking experience and stature of his father or older brother, he is currently under pressure of other nobles who never miss an opportunity to increase their influence, especially over a young inexperienced Count, who has yet to understand the cobweb of the court.
