Name: Argus (Gus) Fadorvan
Age: 32
Race: Human
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 180-190 lbs.
Appearance: Argus' appearance could be used to define the word "grizzled" as he doesn't care much what he looks like. His dark brown hair is kept just above shoulder-length and is slightly curly, making it seem unkempt. He doesn't sport a beard of any kind, although his face seems to be in a constant state of five o'clock shadow, adding to his scraggly appearance. While Gus lost his right eye in a duel some ten years back and wears a leather patch over the wound, his left eye is a dazzling shade of cobalt blue. Gus's 5'10" frame may not seem intimidating at first glance, but upon closer inspection one would find he is quite muscular with broad shoulders and large, calloused hands. His clothes consist of a dark green tunic with evidence of much wear upon it and leather breeches tucked into fur boots that come up almost to his knees, laced up with leather straps. And while he doesn't have much occasion to use it, he carries in his pack a black cloak with a hood in case of rain. The only form of jewelry he wears is a garnet stone pendant hung from a silver chain about his neck.
Personality: Gus was raised by a particularly over-protective mother and because of that doesn't have much experience relating to other people. His conversations are usually quick and to the point. He is smart and calculating and prefers to be on his own. He is also very headstrong and stubborn, but not unmovable. He often speaks or acts without thinking and has been landed in more than one tight spot because of it over the years. Nevertheless, he is honest and true to his word, never giving it unless he intends to fulfill his promise.
Bio: Gus didn't know his father until he was 18. He was raised by his mother, Arabelle, a seamstress in the capitol city of Ariden who made fine clothes for King Lenar and his royal court. Before Arabelle had moved to the city, however, she lived in the western province of Monlir where she met Gus's father, Justin. Justin was a Watcher and had rescued young Arabelle from being gored by a wild boar when she had wandered too far west one evening. Thus began a whirlwind romance which ended after a moment of unguarded passion in which Gus was conceived. Justin, unable to go back on his vow to protect the passage into Azurkaan to raise a son, fled to the Crags and Arabelle moved to Ariden to start a new life with her son. She told her son that his father was dead and kept the child close by her all through his childhood, rarely allowing him to go anywhere by himself. When he was a teenager, he became interested in swordplay and while his mother strongly disapproved, he sought out a mentor and became a very skilled fighter with the broadsword. When Gus was 18, his father made an unexpected arrival in Ariden. Sick and dying, Justin had sought out his son to tell him of his heritage and to pass on a rather unique stone pendant in the process. Gus, already resentful of his mother for keeping him so sheltered in his life, was furious now with her for keeping the truth about his father from him. So when Justin asked Gus to take the stone and become a Watcher himself to help guard the passage, Gus agreed without hesitation. Justin died two weeks later and it was then that Gus left his mother and Ariden for good. Ever since he has been in the Crags, living alone, rarely interacting with others, and keeping watch for any sign of trouble from the other side.
Abilities: As stated before, Gus is highly skilled with a broadsword. While this is his preferred method of fighting, he is also skilled in hand-to-hand combat and with a bow and arrow, keeping those on hand at all times as well. The garnet stone pendant that his father gave him also holds dual powers. It glows bright red when Fiendish magic (or one who uses Fiendish magic) is close at hand as a warning of danger. The second power it possesses is the ability to control the wind.
Any other abilities/personality traits/bio history will be revealed within the story.
