Garrond Lesnik, Kaldari Founding Father

High King of Kaldaria Garrond Lesnik

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

A towering specimen of Human strength, Garrond was noted by allies and enemies alike as both tall and powerful - a trait he passed down through his bloodline for millennia. A commanding man with a high sense of discipline and honor, his stature only heightened this presence by extending his aura of intimidation and power.

Apparel & Accessories

Garrond's favored large, two-handed weapons such as greatswords. While he was renowned for his command and strategy in warfare, he was also a great warrior well into his later years, with dozens of famous duels to his name - many of which were fought to the death.

Mental characteristics

Sexuality

Garrond was married on his 25th year to the daughter of an Asotrian Duke, however, the marriage bore no children and she ultimately chose to remain with her father's family after Garrond's banishment from Astoria following the failed usurption of The Crossing.  
Garrond did eventually marry again, and took a Rodnoy tribeswoman named Bothal as his wife and queen. Outside of marriage, Garrond was known to have at least on mistress, who stories and rumors insist was the woman he truly loved, yet could not be with her as she was from a Rodnoy tribe without influence that was despised by the others. She bore Garrond a single son, who like his father was a giant of a man. Unfortunately this son was said to have been mauled by a Kossavk Bear are died before his 25th year.

Failures & Embarrassments

Reeling under the tyranny of the high-lord of The Crossing (a shoreland region of Old Astoria), several of the local lords rose up against the High-Lord they had sworn fealty too in an attempt to usurp his throne. Garrond was one of these Astorian Lords, and although his county was poor, they were great warriors and Garrond led them to victory after victory against larger forces. 
Unfortunately, the High-Lord's allies arrived and encircled Garrond and the other lords, who were captured and stripped of their titles before being exiled into the wilderness. Furious with what he saw as the failings of his peers, Garrond berated both the High-Lord and the Astorian King for their failures and inadequacies before gathering his followers and leaving Astoria - never to return.
