Artimus M Morningstar (Art to his friends):
Artimus' father was a sailor. Nothing famous, just a simple man who enjoyed the waves. He worked as a freelancer for many different people - always enjoying the chance to play the hero. One such job led him to rescue a fair maiden, and the two married many years later. Artimus was the result of their love, and was treasured by the pair. When he was sixteen, his parents died in a boating accident. No foul play was suspected - their ship simply hit a storm, and was destroyed.
Artimus had already been trained in the art of fencing, archery, hand-to-hand fighting, sparing; many different ways to fight - by his father. He took those skills with him and enrolled in the guards.
Although he remained dedicated to it, after a few years his mind started to wonder what life could have been like had his parents not taken that fateful trip.
His time in the guards taught him to use his brain as well as his fighting skills.
He was promoted to the rank of Captain due to his quick thinking, and always remained loyal to the Queen, even if he did sometimes voice his disapproval of some of her actions.
He was involved in some high profile action; the undead invasion; the pirate attack at Icehold; the arrest of James and Archon, and he was also involved in some of the great disasters, one time being exiled from Merrida by the Queen after being punished.
He has been close to several women on the island.
Being a keep sailor, he left one day for a short trip and never returned. Until now.
Physical appearance:
Some might say good looking - with once short blonde hair (not military short), but now it's longer at the back. He has a small goatee beard. He has a cocky grin that he oftens flashes when thinks are going just right for him, but can be very deceptive.
