Jean-Marc Stroud

Ser Jean-Marc Stroud is a senior Orlesian Grey Warden. 
== Background ==
Jean-Marc Stroud was born the younger son of a minor noble family in the Fields of Ghislain. He received word that his family had been killed shortly after completing his training at the Academie des Chevaliers. Although the culprits were made out to be bandits, Stroud's family were actually the victims of the Grand Game. Before Stroud could seek revenge against his family's murderers, his trainers at the Academie urged a Grey Warden, one Clarel de Chanson, to recruit him to stop him from throwing his life away. Unable to refuse Clarel's request honorably, Stroud joined the Wardens.
In the following decades, Warden Stroud served the Grey Wardens with honor. Stroud earned a reputation as the finest swordsman in the Grey Warden Order, combining his study at the Academie with years of fighting darkspawn alongside dwarves in the Deep Roads. He has been tasked with recruiting and training new Wardens, and many young Wardens attribute their skill to Stroud's training. Due to his family history, Stroud limits his travels to the Free Marches to avoid being caught up in the Game and thereby spare the Wardens from accusations of interfering in Orlesian politics. Stroud lacks strong opinions on the mages and templars, but believes both groups were wrong to abandon the Chantry.Codex entry: Ser Stroud
