.The Facade.
Character Name:
Havard
Name Meaning: "battle guard"
Age:
30
Date of Birth:
10 April T.A. 2980
Race: Man
Residence:
Dale
Profession:
Soldier, warrior, adventurer
Appearance:
Havard has light brown hair, a ruddy beard, and blue eyes. There is a claw-shaped scar running across the right side of his face. He is a tall man, standing at six feet two inches, not uncommon amongst the Northmen.
Personality:
Having grown up with a debt to settle, Havard has learned to love challenges, especially feats of the physical. He willingly seeks tasks that test his mettle and will rarely decline a dare. His bravery could perhaps be said to border on recklessness. He is good-natured but fiercely competitive; anything that could be made into a competition with friends or siblings, often is. Havard lives his life with the goal of accumulating deeds of personal and familial honor, as he believes this will ingratiate the spirits of himself and his kin with the gods of Middle Earth.
Parents:
Hadding (father), Bara (mother)
Sibling(s):
Yngvar (b. T.A. 2982), Rickard (b. T.A. 2983), Bari (b. T.A. 2987)
Spouse:

Children:
None
History:
Havard is from a noble clan of Bardings, those who live under the Kingdom of Dale established by Bard the Bowman. His grandfather Hafual fought in the Battle of Five Armies, and was granted a title and estate by King Bard on the outskirts of the city of Dale. Shortly after Havard's birth, his father, Hadding, slew a fellow Lord in a heated dispute. Because of the victim's prominence, the weregild was set too high, and Hadding was banished from Dale. However, the Elvenking Thranduil generously paid the weregild, but made Hadding swear an oath that he would pledge his first-born son to defend the Elven realm, at the Elves' discretion.
Hadding, himself a renowned warrior, taught Havard the ways of warfare from a young age. Eventually, Havard was conscripted into the army of Dale, and there he decided to remain, as he found the lifestyle suited him. Through the years, he rose to the rank of Captain, while also acquiring a reputation for daring and audaciousness. He would willingly engage in frequent tests of strength and endurance with the other soldiers, as well as his brothers. These feats eventually culminated in Havard wrestling a young bear, giving him the recognizable scar on his face.
In T.A. 3010, Havard continues to faithfully serve the new King of Dale, Brand. Upon his father's death, Havard looks to the realm of the Wood-elves in order to settle his family debt.
