Thorwald Notker

Thorwald Notker was the loyal servant of Eleanor. The two of them went on many adventures to stop evil and their bond was more than platonic, obvious enough to those around them. He was a grail knight of Bretonnia, having achieved the status through many years of training. On more than one occasion he showed that his skills with the sword far outstripped those around him. His time and place of death are unknown, though it is believed he fell in the service of the woman he loved. Some rumours whisper that he fell against the dreaded Red Duke, taking the old Pier Notker's place in guarding the vampire against those who would wake him.

He bested the swordmaster of Hoeth, Lorandin Palador, in both training and kill count during actual warfare. He helped Luthien and Lorandin in their search for the dwarf Grundi, especially since everything was pointing to Bretonnia being in danger. He even helped Lorandin saving Luthien when she was cut down by an orc. Together the two gathered the much needed herbs and met the ogre George, an old friend of his.

Apearance
Looking as if he was in his midthirties, Thorwald has the benefit of having drunk from the grail and doesn't seem to age. His body shows marks of many years of traning and life on the road, except that all scars vanish from his body. His hair is light brown and short cut, and he wears the colours of the Notker family after the reformation by Pier Notker.

Personality
Thorwald is a gentle soul. He has seen the darkness of the world but yet stands defiant, for as long as the love of his life continues her warpath against the forces of evil, he will be there to aid her, should it not require his sacrifice. Thorwald is far from the other fanatical knights of Bretonnia, for he who has tasted from the grail sees the world in a different light. Thorwald does not anger, only tense. He does not shout, only raise his voice, and he does not flinch in the eyes of enemies. He is an epicenter of balance and experience, willing to share, but always with good mood. In the eyes of others his only flaw would be his sometimes suicidal dedication and his lack of respect for the elder races. The thought of treating people differently because of their race is unfamiliar to him, but he will lightheartedly teach elves and dwarfs that the race of men is not someone to be looked down upon.
