Ser Kerduvan

The swashbuckling undying skeleton warrior (with a glorious mustache), Ser Kerduvan was a bodyguard to King Bryad I (Pumpkin King), before a terrible magical mishap transformed him into an undying skeleton. He later was rescued by the Hindenburg Ground Crew, and became a prominent member. 
== History ==
The eldest son of Ser Gareth Kerduvan, a famous knight and advisor to King Bryad I; Arthur Kerduvan wanted for nothing more than to follow in his father’s footsteps. He practiced night and day perfecting the art of duelling alongside his younger brothers until that faithful day came, when, following his father’s retirement, he stepped up to become the personal bodyguard of the king. “There’s always room for a Kerduvan by my side”, remarked King Bryad upon Arthur's appointment. 
However his glory was to be cut short, as after just six months in his new position he was cut down along with half of his men by assassins sent by the Lords of Dust. King Bryad I was believed to be dead; but rose through foul arcane power as the being known as The Pumpkin King. The residue of this foul act also restored Arthur Kerduvan to life, not as an undead, but a corpse imbued with pure positive energy. 
Calling himself “Ser Kerduvan”, he began to roam the countryside slaying any member of the Lords of Dust he came across and searching for King Bryad who he believed to still be alive. However after many years of searching he was waylaid and captured by Edwin Tolstoff and imprisoned; for Edwin, in his paranoia, feared this skeleton knew of his plans to unleash the Worm that Walks. 
Ser Kerduvan lay within the prison of Tolstoff Keep for almost 200 years before a chance encounter with the Hindenburg Ground Crew. He quickly joined up with the group, only to be nearly killed by Tardigrade IV when he was possessed by the demon, Bloodfang. 
He later fought in the Battle of Caldor, and cut down many of the undead that threatened Caldor, whilst also going toe-to-toe with the undead general known as Vilar. Ser Kerduvan later took part in the skirmish at Wormcrawl Island, where he helped Sparrow Treekeeper kill the mummy, High Priest Sayalte. 
Later Kerduvan also took part in both the War Council of Awbor, and the 'Battle of Awbor' (714 AP). Having lived through the battle and since becoming a decorated war hero, Ser Kerduvan has taken to continuing the adventuring life whilst leading the Safety Crew.
