Rickard Dane

Rickard Dane is a small, unattractive man, but a renown warrior.  His hair is black and greasy and his eyes are perpetually red and bloodshot.  He bears a number of long scars upon his back.  He is honourable and quiet, but a willing leader of soldiers and ultimately a caring man who loves his family
Rickard Dans made his reputation in Robert's Rebellion.  He married Ella Forter quickly and then headed south with Ned Stark's forces.  He fought alongside Lord Grandison of the Stormlands at the Trident and personally carried the wounded lord off of the field, though he would later die of his wounds.  When he returned from the Rebellion he and Ella would conceive their first child and Rickard would become the commander of most of the Daneshield's military forces.  He and his brother Torrhen are fast friends and the two often spar against one another (most claim Torrhen is the superior fighter but Rickard the better leader).  His relationship with Eberhart is less positive, and Rickard despises Eberhat's bullying ways.  Their wives are good friends, however.
