Age: 30

Father- Alseit Frostwyrm
Mother- Mary Anne Frostwyrm
Appearance:
Please disregard the suit.
Garb:
Usually found wearing dark decorative clothing. With many tribal marks and signs across the shirt, decorating it so. While the pants remain a dark color with no markings of any kind on them. His shoes are standard and have no significance to them. While he wears gloves that resemble Lorathi markings too.
Height: 5"7'
Weight: 180 lbs
Personality:
Roker is often viewed as a charismatic man. One to lead men into battle and defend those that otherwise could not defend themselves. A very tactical thinking type of man; which has led him to have a certain attitude about him. Which some perceive as rude, he does not intend it to be so. It is merely just his demeanor and how he views things.
It is also to note that he is not brash. Meaning he is not one to jump into a fight or situation that would otherwise lead to his defeat. Or rather, a defeat of his forces. Known to pick his own fights and those that he could not; he does the best he can with what he has.
Roker is not one for 'chit-chat'. He will never say words without meaning behind them, he believes that a persons words are their livelihood. To allow them to flow freely from ones lips is to invite evil into your heart. A calm and calculative man, that is Roker Frostwyrm.
Likes:
Dislikes:
Weapons: A steel Long Sword; made from a blacksmith in Lorath.
Armour: A Chest-piece is the only armor Roker wheres, made from steel.
Skills: Trained in combat from his father; who had led an army in the Nine free states of Esso. His swordsmanship is far from master, but he is very skilled with a blade. Another skill is his strategic ability and ability to lead men into combat. While he prefers armies fighting armies; he can effectively fight in duels.
Weaknesses: One weakness could be the fact that he over thinks. Known for taking a strategic route in combat, rather than just launching attacks without much thought. Another could be that it was his father who had trained him; who had only been a Colonel in an assembled militia of the Free States in Esso. More so than the rest could be this last weakness; his uncanny desire to defend those that could or won't defend themselves.
History:
Roker Frostwyrm was born in Lorath. By his father side he trained in the arts of combat for a militia in the Free States. In his younger years he worked on a ranch with his mother. Picking weeds, planting seeds and anything his mother needed him for. At a very young age his father recognized his ability to deduce outcomes in battles very quickly and an uncanny ability to understand situations more so than others. His father trained him the best he could, but the boy seeked glory elsewhere.
When the boy turned 12 he was thrusted into combat. Most his age would of met death at the end of a spear or sword, but the boy survived many encounters. Which made his father very proud of him, but Roker hated to be in his fathers shadow. His father was well known by the Lorathi and when they heard of the boys exploits they only gave credit to his father.
The first man he killed would be something that he would never forget. This man was a giant of one; standing six feet tall and to the young Roker he seemed to reach the heavens. The giant man swung an axe repeatedly towards Roker, but he evaded the mans massive strikes. Each strike put fear into the young Roker's heart, if not for his small body he would of never avoided the attacks.
After a few bouts however, he was able to cut at the mans legs. Each slice cutting deep into the giant mans tendons. Which eventually, left the man unable to stand. When the giant fell to his knees, Roker Frostwyrm beheaded the man. After which he buried the man with a gravestone. Marked, "The Giant".
At the age of 20 the boy, with his father, led a militia of volunteers to defend Lorath from an outside invader. Roker showed an uncanny ability to lead men in combat and devise proper strategies which won them the initial encounter. Unfortunately for Roker and the militia, the following encounters brought many defeats. Which left a stain on his fathers name; who was an appointed Colonel in the militia.
One particular encounter was with the tribes of Darthok. In which many of the tribes were trying to either destroy their graineries or secure them for their own needs. The exact intentions were not known, but Roker and his father were there to try and stop them, they succeeded. With ingenuity; Roker Frostwyrm pined the tribes against one another. Causing panic within the enemy ranks and an all out battle erupted with the militia under Roker's father command coming out on top. This only furthered Roker's desire to seek his own glory elsewhere.
When Roker turned 28 his father could sense an uneasy feeling from within his son, a sense of adventure. Roker wanted to seek glory by his own means and travel the lands. He did not wish to be in his fathers shadow any longer. One day a boat arrived offering to ferry people across the sea to Westeros. In which Roker Frostwyrm took this opportunity to set forth on his own.
RP Sample:
Aboard the vessel, which was ferrying travelers to Westeros, Roker Frostwyrm encountered many men. Men who also seeked adventure, but were in it for meager gains. Gains that in no way interested himself. One man in particular caught Roker's attention.
This man was one who wished to serve under the Ullstide House, who had long allegience to the throne. This intrigued Roker Frostwyrm, hearing many stories from the man. Which only served to further his interests in the Ullstide House. In truth, Roker did not care for the Imperial Throne or those who had rule over it. However, the adventure that Roker Frostwyrm seeked would lead him to the throne eventually.
"What can you tell me about this Ullstide House, my friend? If I may call you that..." Roker trailed off, hoping he did not offend the man.
"The Ullstide House is led by an honorable man. One who serves the throne for now, but ultimately wishes the land for himself much like the other rulers fighting for control over Westeros." The man said, who Roker had come to know as 'his friend'.
"Who has power over this house?" Asked Roker Frostwyrm.
"The man goes by the name of Darius. However, if you wish to know more you will have to seek him out yourself." Stated his friend.
Roker Frostwyrm nodded in answer. He had no more questions for the man, only for Darius Ullstide now. Who he hoped held the same vision as he himself did. A man who would ultimately assist him during his 'adventure'. With a smile on his face, Roker Frostwyrm landed off the coast of Massey's Hook.
