Rampyke
Rampyke or Rampyke of Riversend is one of the protagonists in the realm of Norewald. A human adventurer aspiring to be a great Knight. He's also a member of the adventure party Greymalkin Explorers or simply Greymalkin. He's a very capable fighter, duelist and mercenary and under the tutelage of Sord the Harbinger became one of the most celebrated heroes of the Arganian Empire.
His quest for worthy opponents led him to Swamburgh and there he encountered Sord and his family. Swamburgh quickly became his second home. Though Rampyke returns to Akilla, the imperial capital, Rampyke makes it a point to travel to Swamburgh whenever he can and go on adventuring with the Greymalkins.
Rampyke or affectionately called Pyke by his close friends, was formerly a duelist then transitioned into a Knight of the empire. His main weapon is a unique longsword created by Sord the Harbinger and is called Estil or Ghostedge in Dwarven tongue. Though made from non-enchanted steel its forging method by Sord made it on par with enchanted blades in terms of cutting ability and durability. Rampyke owns a number of armors but currently uses an empire issued one for it's knights.
A survivor of many campaigns including war. Rampyke travelled extensively from the empires territory, the badlands of Molokkai and even to the xenophobic dominion of Maroka.
Originally hailing from a prosperous city of Riversend from wealthy but unscrupulous merchant family. Rampyke lived and ordinary life and as he matures he has a natural sense of justice since like all young ones admires the virtues if the empires heroes and dreamt of becoming one. He naturally notices his family's crooked ways and when he could no longer stomach their greed decided to cut ties and join an mercenary party.
Rampyke quickly grew into a capable fighter during his time with his party and proved himself a capable adventurer. He also quickly learned that having money isn't so bad and had become a man of the world. Though he enjoyed wine and women, his sense of justice never waned. He is however a bit vain and competitive and prided himself as a great duelist. He decided to seek the most popular and respected fencing masters (maestros) in all of the empire and mastered their techniques which he used to great effect and in honor of those men, Rampyke always declares that his opponents be warned that he was trained by them.
He wanted to make a name for his himself and be recognized as a hero of the empire, his duels did gain him enough fame to become a sought after mercenary. The empire did noticed and gave him missions, mainly to hunt down crime lords and some other external threats. From the Gleaming Sands desert to the west, the steaming jungles of central Argania to the arid wasteland of the eastern border. He was no stranger to the harshness of Norewald. A survivor.
He now serves the Empire as it's knight. While faithfully fulfilling his knightly duties, he is also secretly observing and recording the political landscape of the empire and the internal power struggle occurring within the walls of the capital. His moral scruples often lead him to clash with some of the corrupt officials and would eventually be entangled within its complex web of intrigues.
In the company of others especially women he's a suave smooth talker, he uses his charisma to flirt and also gain information if he needed to. He's a hopeless philanderer and enjoyed the company of women of all races. Not much of a drinker but he can hold his own. He admits that he'd been chased away by furious husbands and fiancés a few times and before his trip to Swamburgh, thought he'd never settle down. Until he met Narinne, Sord's older sister who in her own right as much a capable warrior as her Father and brother. He and Narinne have close relations but yet to express his feelings for her as he hesitates, her being siblings with his mentor. He hopes one he will have the courage to ask her and ask for her hand from her parents.
The praetor of the Mystics, Xerranna, Narinne's mother, expressed to him that she thinks that the empire is in the grips of dark forces that had corrupted the noble court and the imperial household and tasked him to observe and decide for himself if the empire still stood for good. Thus is his current mission to seek out the rotting darkness and break it's hold on his beloved country.
