Dominik de Renouard

## Dominik de Roneuard

"Just because I am aged, does not mean I am not capable. Go ahead, corner an old dog with nothing to lose and see just what it can do."

## Background

Dominik de Renouard is a man who grew up in a very poor household in the territory of Nilfgaard.. His father was an honest, hardworking man who provided well for his wife and son. He taught Dominik the meaning of honesty, integrity, and protecting that which you held dear. Be it family, friends, belongings or morals, Dominik was taught to never waver from the path of a good man, and to always hunker down and dig deep in order to get where you want to be in life.

Dominik went off to the war effort as a teenager and effectively earned respect from many as he climbed his way from runner boy to captain. Because of the war, Dominik suffered greatly from post-traumatic stress, and struggled in his life after he left the army and returned home. As he grew older, Dominik became a wealthy merchant known throughout Nilfgaard whilst still juggling the duties he continued to carry as he remained active in the military. He married a younger woman, Valorra Everille. They were together for many years, happy and hoping for a child. Though after falling pregnant, she died suddenly from the Black Death. Drowning in grief, he returned his full focus to his skills in military strategics and effectively grew to the position of Senior advisor to Emperor Morvran.

Build

* Dominik is a sturdy-built yet trim figure for his age. Despite nearing his 50’s, he stays fit, his mornings usually filled with some form of workout to keep his aging muscles strong. He walks with a confident, tall posture and an even stride. His hands are rough and calloused, accurately reflecting his younger years as a boy in the war, and a hard-working man. His skin is rough and scarred, his upper-lip covered by a well kept mustache with a short, kept beard on his chin. Most of his scars are faded, but still visible to the naked eye. One runs in a thin line from the left corner of his mouth down to his jawline. The other runs from the outer edge of his left eye to the bottom of his ear, both from the years of combat he saw as a young man.
