Taskan Osdial I

Taskan Osdial, the Scythe of the Deserts, is the current head of House Osdial and the protector of Lord Vargor Osdial. A brilliant scholar, engineer, and commander whose life has been committed to protecting and warfare rather then scholarly pursuits, Taskan is renowned for his clinical attitude and groundbreaking work in his knighthood however, being a man that anyone would fear to face on the battlefield.
== Appearance and Character ==
He is quite tall and muscular in a oxlike manner that belies his strength not just of his body, but especially that of his mind. His eyes are a cold, black, beginning to grow somewhat pallid and washed-out. Erasmus's hair used to be a dark brown-reddish color, streaked with grey at the temples and kept short, he chose to cut it off much like his father as he believed it only got in the way while fighting. His skin is dark similar to his fathers and only has grown darked from too much time in the fields fighting under the Banners of the Gold and the beaming sun,
His face resembled heavily a mixture of his father and grandfather turned ascetic, with low, prominent cheekbones and harsh features, grown grimmer-carved and more hollow as he has grew into adulthood. His appearance overall is quite unattractive to most people but he does match certain interests, and he has grown to pay less attention to his looks as he ignores the world of politics and the courts. He is primarily left -handed, though he is also capable in the use of his right.
Despite his hair being shorn off for favor of combat, if anything, Taskan has grown more imposing with age. Still at his impressive height of nearly six and a half foot, his careworn features from travails echoing to the War of the Three Dragons are salt-worn, though one would notice that his hands are surprisingly well-maintained even with a sword constantly in his hand, stained less with seawater and more with ink. The sparkling black of his eyes has begun to fade, his irises seeming to pale, but his wry, gaze yet remains.
The Houses of Saerial obviously tore themselves apart over the course of the war of three dragons, and as someone whose ability was invested in the ground operations of the golds crown even at a young age, Taskan was forced to stand by and watch, offering whatever assistance he could to those fighting off the Blacks, Talons and Wings in the form of military and strategic support lending the edge of his blades wit where he could not bring his blade itself. And yet soon he would be required to wield his blade in the defense of his very own city, as the thought-secular peoples of Aseryn were spurred to action by a former squire of the leader of the Blacks himself.
