Background
Gauvain of House Tarris is a vassel to the Lohstrem House in the kingdom of Taniford. Born just a few years before the Corsair war, he was old enough to Squire for his Lord Father during the begining of the war, and then fight beside him as first a Squire and then a Knight in his own right as well. Toward the end of his career in teh war he made the mistake of choosing a Maiden over his comrades, and missed out on a battle that saw the destruction of his unit. He went home in disgrace, and discovered that the Maiden had given birth to a Bastard Daughter by the name of Bethany. Currently she follows him around, and he allows the young one to squire for him, as the two fo them search for a way to regain honor.

Character Features
Large knight who rides a large Black Warhorse named Strider that is incredibly bad tempered, but also incredibly intelligent
Physical Features
Standing just over six feet, the man before you is well build and has a hard look about him. Vibrant green eyes look out upon the world in a way that says this is a man that is not used to smiling, and lines near the eyes show that many hours and days have been spent beneath a visored helm. His long Auburn hair falls to just past his shoulders and is tied into a neat and orderly tail by a black leather braided cord. Just beneath the eyes a thin black line with barbs have been tattooed, making the rare occassion when he smiles make him appear to be scowling.
