Personality

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Graham is fond of two things, intoxicating his body (mainly with ale or mead) and wenches. To him respect and honor are nothing more than currencies inferior to gold. He does not caress the standard moral code of humans and his current friends are the ones with the deepest pockets. In all in his selfishness, Graham may have few moments of virtue, but such are rare remnants of his past persona. The war took a toll on the man's mind not only on his moral views; but on his capabilities of feelings as well. He is capable of feelings just as much as anyone else, but he no longer finds choices based on feelings a proper alternative as opposed to personal gain or gold, not to mention he has the tendency of ignoring his feelings, clouding his views of what is just and correct. In the end, he is an opportunist with great deal of racial pride.

History

Being an low-born from a poor family of blacksmith, Lester had little choice to do regarding what to do with his life. He began his apprenticeship as a blacksmith the moment he could wield tongs and hammer, assisting his father in his daily tasks. He had little life outside the whole-day workdays at the smithery, and he had only a few friends from neighbor to play around with. For all those restless nights he spent in bed; he dreamed. Dreamed of a life of a Knight, in all its golden radiating glory, and wealth.

When the Third war begun his father sent him off as a squire to a man he knew. Thus Lester became a squire of a less-reputable Knight in a group of less-reputable Knights. In hiding, stable, behind the siege tents or another location, Lester dreamed of being a Knight, and spent the last bits of energy left in his body in training the combat and horse riding. One day during the Third War, the opportunity arrived: Lesters master, to who'm he was a squire to returned from the battlefield mortally wounded, and Lester disobeying orders took up his master's horse, a set of armor that wasn't fit and a lance he could barely carry and rode into battle.

Although he did not last long in the field, and fell from his horse shortly after. His bravery was noted, and after his master died to the hands of the healers, Lester took the place of his master in a group of disgrace of Knights. The war however, wasn't as glorious as he thought it would be. His mind barely handled the blood-shed and tears of agony. He became more stressed and stressed, and when the war ended, Lester was nothing more than a warrior with a scarred-mind. Resorting in gambling and other unsavory acts to keep his mind occupied started to become more and more of a habit to the young man. After being in too much debt of a gamble, and when he couldn't keep paying the money Lester had loaned, the sharks lackeys gouged his left eye out as keepsake and remembrance to Lester that cash is king.

After his commander found out, the commander suggested Lester would leave the service. And so he did, becoming a hedge Knight, Lester begun his survival in the world, thievery, banditry and anything else to keep himself fed, and more importantly; intoxicated. Now Lester Graham is seeking to find his place in a world, where he can enjoy the rest of his years doing what he now likes to do best; Enjoy the far sins of the world.
