Darne Bavon

== Appearance and Character ==
Darne, like his twin sister, stands quite tall and has the width and weight to form an imposing and intimidating build. He stands eye to eye to most men and has been since he was a young teenager. Darne has dark, jet-black hair of a medium length that is incredibly soft and smooth to the touch that has started to grey with time, with thick growing facial hair colored equally as dark.
Darne is incredibly paranoid over the safety of his wife and children, whom he loves and cherishes dearly. Unlike his sister, Darne is more reserved in his emotions, so much so that he could nearly be considered aloof and withdrawn. Darne had always been the calm half of his sister's impulsive and brash side. He is generally a rough man, though his mood will swiftly sour if any perceived slight or danger threatened his family.
In 1,310 AC, his father Garse had fallen deeply ill and passed quickly, leaving the future of Werian and House Bavon in the hands of the moody, sulky 17 year old Darne. Though a man grown now, Darne still secluded himself from his responsibilities and simply ruled behind his mother and other council members as he continued spending every moment he could reading and studying. In truth, Darne had become quite talented when dealing with a sword and bow.
For three more years Darne would live like this, only being seen outside of his study when official events would call for his begrudging appearance until the year 1,323 AC. On one fateful day, Darne had decided on a whim to visit the nearby town of Harik, where he stumbled upon a beautiful common-woman named Mariah. The daughter of a large inn, Darne fell for the woman in no time at all. The two began an incredibly physically loving relationship at first which then sprung to one of a more intimate love, and before long they were sworn together by marriage. For the first time since he was a little boy, Darne had smiled more than he frowned, and the people old enough to remember the way he acted around Mariah grew hopeful that that version of Darne had finally returned.
Darne's marriage with Mariah benefited more than just his emotional stability, while spending time with his new wife at the inn her family ran, Darne learned how to deal with people; who's strings to pull to get information and who to employ to find the best source of information. After a short amount of time, Darne had begun spinning his own army out of his small city for Maegaron Vakerian.
Mariah and Darne had three children together, Rapian, Ian, and Palia. Darne doted heavily on his children, and his new family grew up close and tight-knit much like his own childhood.
