Background
Prince Logen Kilgour is the second son of King Callem Kilgour. Nicknamed the Blackhawk, due to his reputation making him less than an Eagle.
Born in the morning on what would be an incredulously cool summer day, Logen's birth was celebrated throughout Mobrin as Callem and Laetitia celebrated their second son by decreeing that a feast be held every other day for a week throughout Darfield with a toast to both the mother and the new born prince. Logen was named 'Prince of Mobrin' upon his birth.
In his youth, he was close with his older brother, Tyrel. They often spent time rough housing, and playing at what they longed to be. Knights, heroes and warriors. As such, his Father made sure like with the eldest son, his second would be squired under a true knight. One who would round him out-and make sure that the young man would be smoeone worthy of his own blood and his stature.
Logen was squired under Sir Namor Llewyn, a House hold knight, ever loyal to House Kilgour. Where as Logen demonstrated that his love of literature and Poetry, his main gifts were in the craft of warfare and of course, martial pursuits. Sir Namor recognized this, and made sure to make mention to the boy's father.
His brother's eventual rise to the throne meant that Logen's destined place was at the head of armies, and to assist in the ruling of the kingdom as his brother's close confidant, advisor, and friend. He made a personal vow, to train hard and study hard so that when the day came for him to assume those responsibilities his brother would eventually rely on him to take,
he'd be ready.
As Logen grew from boyhood into manhood, his mind turned to thoughts of women and his heart began to pine for a woman's love. When he was young he met Eryn, an young woman, who worked in a tavern (as a whore, albeit) he and Tyrel had visited several times. Eryn, not knowing Logen was the prince, began to gradually return his affections. As such a young affair blossomed, and whispers were shared When knowledge of whom Logen was giving his love and attention to was discovered, Eryn's boss fired her and sent her away. Though it was often speculated that she was disposed of in other means. Logen was crushed, and spent his youth often times having flings with other low born women, and some nobles alike. As such he earned his own petty reputation as a bed hopper and rake.
After a stern talking to from his parents, Logen learned to curb his appetites and worked on making his reputation in and of that as someone befitting of his name. He made himself quiet so as to leave the courtly gossip's tongues and did his duty as a knight-whether it meant chasing bandits, or helping out lesser lords, Lorgen worked to try and undo the damage he had caused.
When Mobrin and Laniveer went to war, Logen was ordered to Westgate in order to help lead royal forces in the area.
The visit to Westgate did not go over smoothly.
A week into his arrival, several attempts were placed on the Prince's Life. He was almost poisoned and captured. However Luck and his own wits saved him in both instances-though when eluding his own capture, one of Logen's close companions was killed which caused the prince to fall back on old vices. Whores and drink.
During this time of grief, Logen learned his brother was married while he was away-which only fueled the bitterness that had taken root in his heart. He became jealous of his elder brother letting the grief cloud what would normally be something to be happy about. And when he met his brother's wife in his own mixture of anger and want he tried to seduce her away, but thank the Light-his soul did not go so dark. Taking his own step back, Logen was content to wallow in his lies and in drink.
In time he met Caitlyn Crawford, and bed her. She was pregnant when they were wed, and for once, it seems that he was happy. even though he had been called from his duties and his own expertise called into question-he had found himself in her. For him, she was his anchor, and he was her knight. He could not ask for anything better. That was until his wife and child died in childbirth. What should have been a time of profound joy and bliss-was marred by sadness.
Where Prince Logen, the Blackhawk of Kilgour finds himself? Well it remains to be seen.
Character Features
“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated.
In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.”
Six feet tall and built with lean muscle is the best way to describe the man. His hair cut short to his head and it matches the sparse beard that covers his thin face. There's a slight scar that hooks next to his left eye. Hawkish nose and sharp cheek bones angle out his face, with deep green almond shaped eyes.
Over the top of his tunic is a linen vest cut and fitted for him alone. This split front style vest is pure black in color, and unembroidered. The buttons are a black laquered porcelin and match the accenting handkerchief folded into the upper pocket.
A brushed linen tunic tailored to his form with a high collar lined with embroidery, long sleeves ending in embroidered cuffs, and hand stitched frog closures going all the way up the split front. The fabric is well woven and cut, dyed a deep blue with silver accenting. The embroidery around the collar and cuffs is a black base with silver eagles. The base of the tunic is cut such that it would tuck into the trousers rather than hang over them. These are casual and comfortable looking black pants with no added design work to them. Cut to tuck into boots and held up by a belt made of black leather with an intricate scroll work to it, and a copper double ring locking system. Mid-calf black leather boots that have the tops folding over and made so pants can tuck into them. The leather is nicely worked with a scroll design and the toes and heel are capped in laquered black steel. Made with extra thick soles, they add about an inch to his height.
Behavior
Logen was known for being quiet and observant, which can be frustrating to some, but for the Prince it is an art in how he's learned to deal with people and situations. He was known to be fond of drink and women, which had earned him a reputation as a blackguard, and a rake. Despite his own hungers and dark humor, Logen is rather fiercely loyal to the people he loves and cares for. Despite any actions he may have done against his brother, his heart is for his King, and family first of all.
Logen is starting to build a reputation as a man of his word. He is still observant but he's starting to speak his mind, sometimes for the worse. He's no longer found around drink as he's sworn it off and women are no longer a temptation to the Prince. He's fiercely loyal to his family and will do anything they ask of him. His heart belongs to his father, the King. Family will always come first with him. His reputation is slowly being built up.
Quirks
- Code of Honor - A code of honor kept. A word spoken is a word kept. Let your yes mean yes and your no mean no. There is no grey.
- Decisive leader - He knows what it takes to lead and he does it.
- Disabled - He is missing his leg from just below his left knee and down. It makes it hard to get around at times.
- Quiet - After all he's been through, he's holds most things inside and doesn't like showing people how he truly feels so he keeps his mouth closed. He still finds it hard to stop his expressive face.
- Untrusting - not tending to believe in other people's honesty or sincerity; suspicious. He's seen things, he's been through things. He has a brother that frequently hides his true meaning so he doesn't trust the surface of anything anymore.
Avalon - Professor Green ft Sierra Kusterbeck
Fought till I had no fight left, risked my death
Walked with conviction in everyone of my steps
My strengths water enough, to wash away any of the stains on my rep
Yeah, I fought off vultures, when against odds when I was short on soldiers
I asked not for my burden to be lightened but if I may have broader shoulders
So as I may carry the weight
All the doubt I had in me has been allayed
So from now till the day that I'm carried away
I will never walk around what stands in my way
If they ain't letting up, because neither will I
When I die from the ashes an eagle will rise
As long as my blade and my faith will keep me alive
Fear ain't something that you'll see in my eyes
