__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description
A tallish man with a slender, toned build. He has a square face, and strong jaw and keeps his appearance clean shaven. He has black hair that falls into loose curls down to his cheeks, and subtle side burns. His nose is pointed and long, his lips are thin and always tightly drawn, and he has thick black, shaggy eye brows that sit low on his forehead that make him appear always brooding. His eye color is a piercing, dark green, like the color of pine needles and his skin is rather pale.

He will wear the colors of his duchy by day and regal dress; but by night, he wears a slim, tight fitting black leather armor that covers almost every inch of his body. HIs hair is normally slicked back and a mask his worn to cover his eyes when he becomes his second persona: The vigilante known to some as 'The Masked Mordecai'.

Personality
Cold and bitter, Leif Arrant makes no effort to hide his shrewd behavior. He doesn't like nobility and it shows (despite the tongue lashings from his parents in attempts to get him to act more 'political' or 'of noble blood') while in public. He's embarrassed them numerous times with his sharp tongue and he makes every effort to make their lives, and most of the nobility around him, miserable. He, himself, is a miserable fool, uncertain how to cope with the death of his younger sister, Attie, who had been branded as a mage late in her life and taken away to the church. When she returned, she was never the same. He recalled her with a fiery personality, who was clever and never let her station dull her tongue or wits, but when she returned, she became reclusive and grey, and when the war broke out, she was sent away and never seen from again.
This has made him even more bitter towards the church than he had been before, for he had no serious devotion or belief towards Angsar when he was younger (no thanks to his older sister's quick tongue and wit). He believes in men,a nd only in men and that we are all guaranteed to die, so we might as well enjoy what life we have. Most religions he believes are false, but pretends to pray to the church daily, all the while plotting a way to make the church pay.
It was only later he found out he was mordecai, but he's kept that part of him a secret, knowing full well he'd be recruited into a war he did not believe.

Magic/Abilities
Leif Arrant is a mordecai, and his abilities can cancel out magic within a certain range nearby him to a certain degree.
Leif is also a skilled swordsman who practices every day, for 3 to 4 times a day in a rigorous routine to keep himself in shape and sharp and quick with a sword. He uses a famous, light weight, long blade that can make him quick in battle. He is also proficient in using a whip and knives as well as archery, but he loves using a sword the most and will practice with that until he is exhausted. He believes it's the only thing that helps him to sleep at night, and help quell the nightmares.

As his masked persona, he is very quick with his hands, skilled at doing (or willing to do) unthinkable feats (and somehow survive)- mostly due to his uncaring nature if he lives or dies, so it drives him harder and faster to protect what he actually cares about. Upon his masked attire are numerous hidden objects to help him move as silent as a spider when stalking the city streets of Connlaoth at night.

Relationships
Attalia "Attie" Arrant- his sister, age 27-  believed to be deceased or 'away' at the camps during the war

Remmis Arrant- his father

Reis Arrant- his mother

Chace, Hartand and Alistok- 3 personal 'body' guards that were hired by Leif's parents to keep him in line. Chace is a seasoned veteran with heavy muscles, is talla nd had scars crossed all over his body. Hartand is a squat man, thick necked and muscled and very quiet. He's bald but had a thick black beard and low, thick black brows that always make him appear angry. Alistok is the youngest, just a few years older than Leif with red hair and always a smile on his lips. He's a quick, and tall swordsman, always itching for a fight.

Valentina Corrent- wife (location unknown, thought to be deceased)

Aleena Arrant- daughter (current location unknown- disappeared along with her mother)

Audric Molneux- aka: the Shrouded Swordsman (or as coined lovingly by Leif 'Abigail')- he has unwittingly become Leif's crime fighting sidekick, especially and more officially after the moment Audric saved Leif before he was nearly 'demasked' by a group of Uthlyn (of all..) guards. Neither, currently, knows the other persons true identity, yet they still manage to fight (on occasion) side by side.

Vices
He enjoys cigars, drinking and the occasional opiate. It's also said he enjoys the company of brothels.


History
Leif grew up living like any other nobleman and heir to his family land in Connlaoth, except while he was being groomed to be like any other Connlaothian male and devout worshipper to Ansgar, he had something to persuade him other wise: his older sister, Attie. Attie was strong willed and was someone Leif looked up to. Where his father was strong and proud, and is mother, quiet and reserved and always mouthing the words 'your father knows best' it was refreshing to find a noble, let alone his sister (a female, of all things) to be so smart and quick with her tongue to voice her opinions. Though he tried to fair the same and follow in her example, rather than his father's, he was quickly punished and his father made rules a lot more stricter towards him. Leif was always bitter towards his father for this, and his resentment only grew over the years once his sister was found out to be a mage of water.  Leif was the first one to know, and vowed to keep his sister's magic a secret. But it didn't last long and soon his mother found out, and that meant so did his father, and Attie was sent away and had never been the same since.
She came home for a few years, but no one wanted to touch her as far as marriage was concerned, so Leif's father knew not what to do with her and when the war broke out, Attie was sent to one of the mage camps; and Leif had a violent outburst against his father and their relationship was never the same since; both men baring scars, though Leif's was across his throat, and Remmis's was across his eye; and Leif makes it no secret that he was the one that put it there.

Needless to say, Leif was surprised to find out that, years later, his engaged ment to a certain Valentina Corrent was still being honored. He makes it obvious he is unhappy and makes a great effort never to be around to actually ever meet this fiance of his and has avoided it for years. Without them ever meeting, arranging an actual wedding proved difficult and rumors began to spread.... Rumors that Leif hoped would end his silly betrothal and that so when Leif himself died, the entire line of his family could die with it so his father's blood could never remain in power ever again.

Later on in life, Leif discovered he had become a mordecai (around the same time Attie found out she was a mage) and he kept it a secret. Only she knew. He didn't want to be recruited as a soldier so the government could exploit him over rules he did not believe in. When the war broke out, he dawned a mask at night and leaned a hand where ever he could in order to help mages, or those in trouble, where he could. Though rumors entangled around him, it was eventually discovered this masked vigilante was not only an enemy to Connlaoth, but a mordecai as well! Thus dubbing him: The Masked Mordecai.
