Rollan the Warrior

Rollan the Rough grew up in Heathridge - one of 5 boys of Rotham, Captain of the Heathridge Guards. 

 

Rollan was squired at the age of 11 to the knight Sir Tratham.  However, Rollan was strong-willed, did not follow orders easily, and liked to have a good time at the local tavern.  By the time he was 18, Rollan was down to his last chance to stay in Tratham's employ.

 

Then, however, came the unfortunate incident with Tratham's son, Gorlthum.  Rollan was best friends with another squire, Jorthyn, who was assigned to aid Gorlthum.  Gorlthum was a spoiled rich kid and bully.

 

One day, while off duty, Rollan and Jorthyn were enjoying ale at the Boar's Landing. Gorlthum stormed in, angry that Jorthyn wasn't available.  Jorthyn appologized, but said that he had been off duty.  Gorlthum slapped Jorthyn right there, and then started to chew him out.  Then, Gorlthum started to drag Jorthyn out of the tavern, saying that he would give him the beating of his life.

 

Rollan, who values loyalty and has no use for self-important people, gave Gorlthum a severe thrashing.  This was the final straw - Rollan was dismissed from Tratham's household and lost all chances for a future as a knight, or even a position on the Heathridge Guards.

 

However, Rollan's uncle was a friend of Sir Prixon.  Both men secretly admired Rollan's character, and Prixon set Rollan up to join Brakis' adventuring party.

 

Rollan wears mail armor and is armed with a broadsword and dagger.
