Refined Details
Personality Characteristics: Mathyas is undoubtedly a pompous man, carrying such annoying mannerisms as insisting on being addressed as "Sir Mathyas" or "Lord Steele," bringing up his military experience with every chance he gets,, and traveling with a band of loyal followers who praise his every word and action. However, this does not make him an evil man. He is excessively friendly and trusting, which at times borders on sheer gullibility. He will almost always buddy up to someone or at least attempt to within five minutes of meeting them. Nonetheless he is by no means a "Choir boy" persay. He tends to drink too much, shoot his mouth off too often, and is quite a bit of a lech. Yet at the end of the day, there might be something about him that tells a person that he's an alright fellow. He usually hides his more sinful nature behind an air of nobility. He has quite a silver tongue, using it to charm and persuade people. Indeed he always tries to behave himself as a perfect gentlemen, and he expects no less from his fellow soldiers.
Magic Possessions: Mathyas claims to have had his weapons blessed by, "the most holy of priests who will ever walk this land." The righteous and honorable, "Father Duncan." Of course, whenever Mathyas drops his name at an attempt for some quick prestige, (which he tends to do often,) he seems to be the only one that has heard of this "Father Duncan," inciting the man to begin labeling those all around him heathens and philistines. Of course the reason for Father Duncan's obscurity is because in actuality, Father Duncan was a beggar who mugged a priest and put on his robes and was about to exit said priest's temple when none other than Mathyas showed up demanding to have a blessing put upon his axe and blade. When the arrogant ex-soldier offered money, the beggar kindly obliged. Of course this fact makes none of Mathyas's possesions magic or extraordinary in any way.
Mundane Possessions: Regular sword, regular axe, sheath for sword, case for axe. Leather chest armor, leather belt with metal buckle, leather boots, cloth pants, black eyepatch. In small backpack: 20' of rope, Flint/Steel, various animal skins for sleep, flask, 2 months military food rations.
Background History: Mathyas Steele was born in Norwood as the son of a human soldier in the Norwood army, Cuthbert Steele. At a young age, Mathyas was prepped by his father for military training lasting into his teens and until he was ready serve in the Norwood army. However, in what his father saw as disgraceful, Mathyas never took his service completely seriously, opting for drinking and lusting after anything in a skirt with two legs. Of course he was a ferocious warrior which kept him in the army for awhile. However, even a great warrior can overstep his boundries when he beds a General's concubine. Mathyas would have been killed by the General himself had it not been for his father's intervention. However, it was agreed upon that Mathyas no longer deserved the priviledge of military rank and was dishonorably diacharged from the military and completely ousted from Norwood, however to save face, all parties involved said Mathyas left of his own accord. However, since he was a beloved soldier no matter how much of a fool he was, a group of his fellow soldiers and companions left their ranks to follow him out of Norwood. To this day, Mathyas and his companions have been traveling as a sort of mercernary troupe, and they have wandered into Elmshade Village with hopes of landing another job, which they have recently done. Mathyas and his fellow soldiers are now the new Elmshade Guard, with "Captain Steele" commanding them.
