With reddish gold hair, bright green eyes and chiseled features, Bestor is a handsome lad and quite popular with the ladies. He keeps himself well groomed and clean shaven, as much so as possible. He bears several distinguishing features as well: raking scars down the left side of his chest, a reminder of a run-in with the undead, and a long slashing scar across his right thigh, where a bandit's sword nearly cost Bestor his leg.Bestor dresses comfortably and practical, preferring warm wools, soft leathers and light linens to the finer cloths available. When garbed for combat, Bestor dresses in his well-crafted plate armor, carries a shield painted with a sable dragon rampant upon a sanguine field.Bestor is almost always accompanied by a large, brindled wolfhound named Wingaard.<a href="http://img408.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bestordrakeyq4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/2734/bestordrakeyq4.th.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a>PersonalityPatient and well disciplined, Bestor does not exhibit the impulsiveness of most warrior types. He tends to study the situation first, in order to gain every advantage over a foe. He is a dedicated, loyal companion, and while not an officer doesn't hesitate to take charge if the situation warrants it. Bestor would put himself in harm's way without hesitation to prevent another from being hurt, and he is nearly fearless in the face of evil. He is the helpful sort, always offering to lend a hand where he can.Background - In ProgressBestor hails from a modest family, his father being a simple blacksmith in the small village of Whitehold on the western border of the Valley of Light. The lad's father had hoped that Bestor would follow in his footsteps, set up forge and raise a family. But Bestor had other plans. After all, the blood of warriors runs strong in the Drake line. Indeed, family legend holds that the great hero Auheron the Dragon himself started the family line many centuries ago. There had been other heros and knights of the Drake line as well: Gunther the Stalwart, Hilliard Drake, and the mighty Kemp of Stonefort to name a few. Bestor had heard all of these tales about the powerful Drake warriors of the past, and decided that he would follow in their footsteps instead of those of his father.His father frowned upon Bestor's attempts to teach himself how to properly wield weapons, and without proper tutelage, his skills were lacking. Eventually, though, Bestor took to training with an odd old hermit that lived on the edge of the village. Dedric (as he was called) was still a master with weapons despite his age, and found that he liked the young Bestor enough to train him. Where many warriors rely on brute strength and rage to win battles, Dedric taught Bestor discipline and focus. Bestor trained with Dedric for several years, but the old man had issues with detereorating health, and eventually died of consumption. Without a mentor, Bestor decided to join the Knights of the Light as a man-at-arms. He knew enough of weapons to secure himself a position in the ranks, and soon found himself stationed with a garrison on the borders of the Westlands. Here Bestor was able to continue his training, learning from other warriors in his unit, and his skills increased and his body grew stronger.Then came a dark and fateful day for young Bestor. Rumors that vile elves had been seen in the area filtered down to his unit, and Captain Narvel decided to send the men out in squads to track down the dark foe. Though Bestor's squad never actually saw any elves, they saw what could only have been the work of the evil forest dwellers: One squad of troops was found slain and mutilated. If that had been the end of the event, things may well have turned out different for Bestor. But the slain troops rose from their graves the very night they were buried, and attacked the rest of the knights.The men on watch managed to raise the alarm before they were slain, and while many others fled before the foul undead, Bestor stood his ground and managed to destroy several of the things with sword and torch. His efforts turned the tide of the fight, allowing the officers to rally the rest of the troops and overcome the remaining creatures. Bestor received a commendation for his valor. Of course, Bestor's actions also attracted the attention of some higher ups in the Church of the Light, who decided that Bestor could benefit well from the training they could provide.Future Development: Depending on how the game develops, Bestor will pick up one to three more levels of fighter, and possibly some levels of Exotic Weapon Master once he qualifies for said prestige class. He could conceivably take 2 (3 ?)levels in cleric, as well, as that would give him access to divine feats that could prove useful in this sort of game. I'm thinking Fighter 4 / Cleric 3 / Exotic Weapon Master 3 might be the combination that takes him to 10th level.</blockquote>
