Rowan Forthwind

"Death, is but a friend who visits from time to time."

## **Background**

**Rowan Forthwind**, son of **Tybalt Forthwind** and **Myrel Forthwind.** At a young age, he witnessed his parent's demise in front of their town house. The massacre that took place belong to Dracula, blinded by incredible rage and violence. Though the answer to why he had did it was unclear to Rowan. While an explanation might've helped him understand the 'why', he had zeroed in his focus on avenging his parents. Nothing would stop him in his path to rip and tear every creature that benefited from God's earthly creations. The innocence of the Rowan that waited for his parent's to return home, died. He found himself traveling, finally coming upon a village meant to be built in the name of the Belmont family. While most tales spread far and wide, the Belmont's reign of terror against vampires and all dark creatures alike were more than well known. The most back-wooded villager rose their brows when they heard the name. This was the perfect opportunity to capitalize on his warrior prowess. Vigorous training ensued for months. To understand potential death against dark monsters, one had to understand what it felt like to be on the brinks of death-while still continuing to push on. He built an endurance to battle. He conditioned his body to withstand blows. He sharpened his senses. While fights became less scary and more exhilarating, he began working closely with blacksmith's. He developed a specialized armor for himself, masking his identity. The helmet never came off, but only to sleep or when he was alone. He wanted vampire's to know that there was no face to their death. An entity, a message, or a statement to what was to come. He was a symbol of their extinction.

Being efficient in the field now, Rowan had finished the armor he had planned for. The sleek build that stuck to his body as if it was his own skin, protected him in three layers. One was the leather wrappings between the gapes, the second was the layer of thicker leather, and the third being his armor. The finishing touches were a wolf's pelt that hung just above the collar area. A wolf. The apex hunter of his home, much like Rowan. Along with the personalized armor, he created an assortment of weapons and gadgets to better his arsenal.

## **Personality and Behaviour**

He shares a cold demeanor about himself, but is more or less cordial in social settings. When he's not fighting, he can be seen enjoying small talk within groups of people. He does not talk himself, but rather enjoys what other people have to share. He also has keen perception skills, understanding the emotional energy about someone based on their movements, gestures, and tone of voice. As he had rather hunt alone, he prefers groups as an extra precaution. While not being actively social with his team, he can play an important role to watch everyone's back.

## **Occupation**

Vampire hunter for the Belmont Family. He was recruited in his teens and swore his undying loyalty to them. Now, he works closely with recruits and other junior hunters like himself.
