Byrin Runeri II

Byrin Runeri II is the second son and third child of Lord Cedrick Runeri and Laera Lakoran II, and is a young knight to his house. He grew from a young age with a sword in his hand despite his partial love for sweets and pastries. Many claim that he is a knight not for honor or any other reason then training to keep his body in shape.
== Appearance and Character ==
Byrin has a lithe frame that likely would be skinny if it weren't for his constant eating of both sweets and meats alike that he claims is required for a knight. Handsome features compensate for otherwise unremarkable dirtied blonde hair and odd remarkable heterochromia. There is an odd dichotomy in his features between his private and professional life; a ready, kind smile for those close to him and his subjects but a stern, serious expression during or preparing for battle.
Trained to use a sword, and not without ability, his true talent lies in leading men both as a commander of soldiers. His youthful appearance belies his poise when in command.
Byrin had a fairly typical early childhood as heir to a House. While he had moments of recreation the vast majority of his time was spent preparing him for his eventual knighthood. Arms-training, book-learning, and the all-important lessons in leadership were spread liberally among a group of teachers during his adolescence. Not least of those was early training by his uncle Blaine Runeri, who had the honor of being one of the Winged Knights despite Byrins distaste for the wings.
Byrin faced his training with all the seriousness available to a young lordling, but the one aspect he truly shone in was commanding soldiers. It started as simple tactical exercises concealed as games, but those quickly were discarded for more complex challenges for the child. The battles and challenges were systematically dismantled by young Byrin, much to his father's pride. As he grew older his father naturally wished to broaden his education as well as giving Byrin the opportunity to make connections of his own with the other notable families of the shield.
