Quintain Faintree

Quintain is an NPC featured in Knight Time. He is a young page that is shared between the party and the abandoned son of one of the most famous knights in the realm.

As an NPC, he is played by Finley.

## Background

Quintain was born of the famous knight, Sir Dashing the Valorant and a common woman shortly after the first dragon war ended. The first few years of his life were quite idealistic. While he was never close to his father, his mother was very kind and gentle to him and evened Dashing's explosive temper. This all ended when his mother died in childbirth, giving birth to his sister, Sif.

Dashing attempted to raise his two children, but between his violent outbursts and drinking caused by his experience in the war and his grief of losing his beloved wife, he would often resort to taking out his frustrations on Quintain. Quintain was beaten and starved so much so that eventually the local authorities took him in. Quintain and Sif were separated; Quintain being forced into a boys' home and Sif being sent to an unknown location.

At the orphanage, Quintain was made fun or and beat by the older, larger children for his demure personality and small size. Like many orphans, Quintain was seen as prime material for war, and due to his status as a famous knight's child, he and his peers were made into pages to funnel them into knights for the next war. His lessons were severe and his frail body could barely keep up with the work. Due to this he received much discipline and was the last page chosen for the newly graduating knights.

## Personality

Quintain is a demure young boy who rarely speaks unless he is spoken to. He is quite frightened by loud noises, people, and animals, and lacks much understanding of the world outside of the realm of being a knight.

Quintain is very ardent on following the rules of the kingdom and will often meekly lecture the party on what means to be a good knight--reiterating what he was taught as he became a page. Despite his adherence to the principles of knighthood, he is very adverse violence.

## Appearance

Quintain is an exceptionally short halfling with pale skin and a light blonde hair cut uniformly in what almost looks to be a bowl cut. He has royal blue eyes and a smattering of freckles across his face. When he was first introduced he had a black eye and many bruises and abrasions across his face due to the discipline he received at the Knights School.

Quintain wears formal page clothing: a red tunic that's too long for him and a white feather in his hair, paired with black pants and boots. All of his clothes are ill fitting.

He carries a wooden sword on his hip.

## Relationships

### Sir Dashing the Valorant

Quintain fears his father but honors his legacy as a famed and esteemed warrior that led Izaedel to victory. Dashing on the other hand, is quite resentful of Quintain for not being strong or powerful, and often takes his anger and pain out on him as he was taught to conquer the weak.

### Sif Faintree

Quintain doesn't have many memories of his young sister, aside from the devastation from losing her. He remembers singing her to sleep and braiding her golden hair. He hopes that he can be a famous enough knight someday so he can attempt to find her with ease.

### Palloroy Stoddard

Pallory offers a calm and patient presence in Quintain's life. Palloroy routinely makes sure that Quintain is comfortable as well as gently coaxing him through his fears of horses or loud noises. Quintain is quick to hide behind Palloroy or take his hand when he needs it.

### Prince Gilligan

Prince Gilligan is an odd sense of encouragement to Quintain, often teaching him how to fight, though with his own rebellious flair. Initially, Quintain was a little afraid of Prince Gilligan, especially at his viciousness in battle and his penitence for disobeying orders. But Prince Gilligan clearly wants to protect Quintain, something that makes him feel safe.

### Constantine

Constantine is protective of all of his party members, though he has a special place in his large heart for Quintain, making sure that he gets to saftey and encouraging whenever he gets a chance.
