Thank you, and I sure do. He was raised on a ranch as his father trained war 'horses' and that's where he learned how to ride and some combat skills and jousting. He spent just as much time with his mother who was a luthier, and learned how to play various instruments. Well schooled but felt lost until he had to help with bringing in some steeds for the army and that's when he knew he needed to join.
None that I've thought up as of yet. The only childhood friend I know of was the forest girl that ended up becoming his wife. He wasn't really into fighting when he was younger, but he sure liked sports.
You have him very well developed, but what was his childhood like I wonder? Do yoiu have any headcanons about his childhood?
Keep it up!
