Flint (Knight)

**Ser Flint** is the Master-at-Arms of Bramble Hall.

## Character

There is much about Ser Flints’ life that he has not shared with anyone, including the members of House Mollen. Flint considers the man that he was before his knighthood and servitude to House Mollen unimportant, however he does not appear reluctant to answer questions pertaining to before serving them. Both his knighthood and name are often questioned over being real.

At the age of nine, Flint expressed a desire to do something that would allow him to help people, and refused to be swayed from the path that he had decided to dedicate his life to. From then on he began training with an assortment of weaponry, and found that he favored the usage of maces and short swords. While Flint follows the code of behavior and honor that Knighthood brings, he greatly follows his own personal code.  He has bound himself to a personal oath to never father children, and has subsequently practised celibacy. He has never been with a woman, and has no experience in regards to romantic relationships.

At the age of three-and-twenty he traveled to Essos and then to Yi Ti sometime before becoming a knight in an attempt to gain experience. During his time he and a command of soldiers destroyed a small village on account of thievery, where Flint was responsible for the death of women, children, and the elderly. He returned to Westeros three years later on account of the deaths of the people he was with. Flint expresses a heavy guilt and responsibility for not being there when the people needed him the most. As a result of his expedition Flint endured psychological trauma, where he would have no goal, purpose, or desire to continue in life as he had previously wanted. Flint would later find purpose before serving House Mollen. In truth, Flint has pledged his life and service to Lady Mollen and her children, promising to protect them and tend to their needs.

Flint is easily summarized by the term “war hawk”, he will always favor and advocate for war, as he believes that it is the best solution. He does not oppose the diplomatic solutions, but he will rarely if ever vouch for that plan of strategy. He enjoys and follows the concept of total war, the concept giving him incentive to become a cunning strategist. Flint can be found giving teachings over strategy during his personal time to anyone that is willing to listen. Flint cares greatly for his subordinates, showing that he can be greatly empathetic, and works to earn their respect, as he both genuinely desires to be liked and believes that their respect for him will sharpen their combat abilities. He vacillates between being a stone-cold killer and a decent human being.

Flint regards self-sacrifice as a necessary part of prospering. In general, Flint is a kind, gentle, and well mannered individual. He is extremely determined in his goals, whatever they may be at the time, and is a hard working and focused man. Kind and well mannered, he is very loyal and understanding to the people closest to him. As well as over protective of House Mollen and who they consider innocent to the point that he paints the world in black and white. He only sees good and evil, unable to distinguish that a man could be both, and despite his intellect he is capable of being manipulated because of his black and white viewpoints.
