Lucian Vaelthorn

Title: The Crimson Knight Age: 32 Realm: The Kingdom of Veyr Horse: Mordred — a massive black warhorse with a temper almost as legendary as his rider. His background Lucien Vaelthorn was born the second son of a noble house, but unlike his older brother, he never wanted the crown. He wanted the sword. He became a knight young, earning a reputation for being frighteningly skilled and almost impossible to kill. His long blood-red hair became his signature, and enemies began calling him The Crimson Knight. But Lucien's loyalty was never truly to the crown. When the king ordered the execution of an entire village accused of harboring rebels, Lucien refused. He turned his sword against the king's soldiers instead, freeing the villagers and becoming a wanted traitor overnight. Now he wanders the kingdom with Mordred, taking contracts, protecting travelers, and hunting the men who destroyed his family. He is quiet. Observant. Intensely protective. He doesn't trust easily, and he has little patience for people who flaunt power simply because they possess it. Beneath the cold exterior is a man who is desperately lonely and secretly longs for somewhere—or someone—he can finally call home. And then he finds you.
