Name:Zander Brogthamon
Face Claim:Cameron Monaghan
Age: 23
Birth Season: Fall
Physical Description: Zander stands at a even 5'10" with short red hair and deep green eyes. He has faint freckles across his face, arms, shoulders, and chest that become more noticeable during warmer seasons when the sun is out more. If one were to just look him Zander appears lithe with some faint sign of toned muscle which makes it only more surprising when he holds a sword or throws a punch or stretches his arms over his head and his real muscle takes shape. What he lacks in height he more than certainly makes up for in speed and charm.

Combat Experience:From the moment Zander was old enough to stand and run his father was training him to fight. As the oldest son he was expected to be strong, to one day lead a raiding party and make his father proud. For years he struggled to even hold a sword up but he was always quick on his feet with incredible reflexes. When he was thirteen was when he really started to shine. Zander became aggressive, and while not a heavy hitter was able to send out quick hits to overwhelm his opponents. At eleven he joined his father in his first raid. While he’s not great at archery he is force to be reckon with in hand to hand combat. His most preferred weapons are a sword or his axe.
Education: Zander didn't have a formal education and his father hardly felt it necessary he learn things like reading or writing. Most of his focus growing up was spent on combat to become a power raider in hopes that he might some day become an Elder or possibly a Thane. His mother did teach him how to garden to help with farming and he picked up good cooking skills. He's fairly decent with numbers but he still hasn't picked up much with reading or writing even now in his twenties. He does speak some very broken Imperial but mostly only knows Lutrian. Zander is a very good craftsman who loves working with his hands. He's helped build a few more sturdy living structures and some furniture but mostly he loves making little wooden toys for the kids in the village or small intricate pieces of wooden jewelry.
Magic: Zander wasn't allowed to spend much time practicing his magic growing up but he has managed to bond with two separate creatures in his life. The first one was a small Imprel that he was very close with as a child but now his companion is a Rabbithawk who he's grown very attached to.
Personality:
There's a wild storm inside of Zander. A constant hurricane that he sits in the eye of waiting for it to close in on him. Generally he comes off as outgoing, playful, charming, and perhaps a bit too cocky. For the most part it seems that he doesn't take almost anything seriously though as much as he can talk himself into trouble he can usually talk himself out of it. He's got a crooked smile that has been known to melt hearts. With people he's close to he's very affectionate and possibly a bit overprotective. Especially with the women and girls in his life.
As sweet and charming as he is most of it is just a front. There's a deep seeded rage inside of Zander that he tries his best to hide in a desperate attempt to not be like his father. It only really comes out during raids when he's able and allowed to release all the pent up aggression on others. He’s manipulative, known to do whatever it takes to get his way. Zander is the type of man to kill you, hide your body, then help others look for you. While he’s quick to anger he’s just as quick to return to the sweet smile and laughter as if nothing happened. Bored easily if you don’t capture the young mans attention he’s known to simply wander off on his own. Despite this he’s fiercely loyal to his family and loved ones.
Despite many people calling him friend there are few that really know who he truly is. He hates opening up to people. While he might talk a lot he rarely ever actually says what’s on his mind. He’s known to be flirtatious and mischievous with anyone that he meets. There’s a certain charm and poise about him that makes him easy to love. Zander takes very few things seriously and vehemently despises when he needs to. He prefers things to be fun and easy, rarely thinking past more than a moment.
History:
Zander was born in late fall as a premature birth. Which seemed to be the first way he disappointed his father. For the first years of his life he was incredibly small, frail, and sick. Winter was especially hard for him and his mother often feared the very real possibility that she could lose her first and only child. As he got older however it seemed that he was in fact getting stronger. And by the time he was four his father was pulling him out to practice his combat. Which Zander was not good at. He could barely hold up even a small practice sword, it was near impossible for him to pull back a bow string, and he would very quickly run out of breath. Eric refused to have a weak son. He refused to be humiliated by some sad excuse for a first born son. So, much to his mothers distain, he continued to push Zander. Eric was cruel, ruthless, merciless. He expected, demanded perfection and would not tolerate any less.
When he was six he joined his father for his first hunt, despite being incredibly ill at the time. By the time he was eleven he went on his first raid. That was where he truly shined. All the rage and frustration and hate that he'd built up for his father released from him like a hurricane. That first raid was the first time Eric had ever been proud of his son. That's when things really changed for him. Zander started fighting back against his father. Arguing with him, brawling with him. He didn't care how often he lost. Didn't care how many bruises, bloody noses, or scars he had to get so long as his mother and baby sister were left alone. It was also around this time Zander really started to realize he wasn't like his friends. While they were talking about girls in the village they were interested in or ones they'd kissed Zander was struggling with the realization he wasn't interested in the girls. He was interested in his friends.
It was a war inside of him. People would ask him why he wasn't seeing a pretty girl. Who he had a crush on. Who he'd kissed. He wanted to be himself but what choice did he have? So when Zander was sixteen he met a girl named Riven who he became very close friends with. She was his bestfriend in the entire world. He confided in her, trusted her, and eventually married her. It seemed the easiest way to cover his secret. To the people around them Zander appeared to a smitten, loving, and affectionate husband. And for a while he thought perhaps it would work. Perhaps he could fall in love with his wife. But as much as he loved Riven as a friend and life long companion there was never a spark. He couldn't bring himself to feel for her the way he felt for some of the men he hunted with and drank with. But when he was nineteen Riven became pregnant with their first child. A sweet little girl named Asta who became Zander's entire world.
