CH. I – Painting a Portrait
Tall and broad shouldered, Christer is of a medium stocky build.  His father is much shorter than he is, but he's bulkier and barrel-chested, whereas Christer is much more athletic in build.  His eyes are round and unassuming, though his brow is sharp and low, easily furrowed when irritated.  He has a small mouth and a broad aquiline nose, low but sharp cheekbones and squarish-jaw.

+ NOTABLE MARKS +
He has a few scars on his body from his years of years as a squire and knight.  Thankfully he's quite proud of the fact that he's of yet received no scars on his face.

CH II – Mental Make-up
Christer is an idealistic young man with a clear view of the world, and a way of things.  He became a knight because he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps, like his did before him.  He believes in honor, both in battle and in life, and that the strong have a duty to protect those who cannot protect themselves.  At times, he is less than enthusiastic, particularly in new situations, easily moody, skeptical and opinionated.  But he will do his duty, through thick and thin, even when things don't go as planned.

However much of this thinking has left him rather inept when it comes to social interactions or relationships.  He's a good person over all, and wouldn't allow anyone to be hurt if he could help it, but deal with social idiosyncrasies isn't his strong suit.

+ FAITH +
He's a devout follow of the Church of Ansgar, often meditating in prayer to center himself.  He also wears a medallion of the Spear of Ansgar around his neck, which he usually keeps tucked into the collar of his tunic.

+ HABITS +
Christer does not smoke, but he does drink occasionally, but only when in the company of others doing so, and people he knows well.  He also enjoys practicing fight techniques in his spare time.

CH III – Social

+ RELATIONSHIPS +
  Erikur Theirn, Father, Knight, 53, Alive
  Farrah Theirn, Mother, Seamstress, 45, Alive
Gratien Theirn, Brother, Soldier, 23, deceased


CH IV – Abilities / Skills
+ KNIGHT +
Though quite young, Christer is a very skilled knight, capable of fine horsemanship, hand to hand combat, and even archery.  He takes his training and practice seriously.  It helps him focus and relieves daily stress.

CH V – Gear / Equipment
Knight stuff – Sword, dagger and shield bearing the coat of arms of the Dewitt Family.

CH VI – Reflections of the Past
He'd served the Dewitt family faithfully for years.  His time as a knight in their service however had been made all too brief when Lord Dewitt's daughter disappeared and he went after her, hoping to protect her.

She remained unrecovered however, and left Christer in disgrace and dishonor.  He was turned away, even in spite of his loyalty, and traveled south to find some way to deal with his shame.  He left Connlaoth and has since traveled south, unsure of what he'll find.
