Character Name: Pompier Xeries
Age: 23
Gender:Male
Image:(Image)But he has a hood as well
House, if any:N/A
Personality: Loyal to those who hire him, he is extremely tactical and a realist. But his love of money and well obtaining knowledge on people has lead him to no boundaries. This meaning he will do what ever it takes to gain and complete his objection. He at times is arrogant over his abilities which tends to get thrown out at tavern when he starts a fight.
Biography/Background:Pompier was a son of servants at a local knights house until that knight was killed by an assassin. Pompier had the luck to run into the assassin as he killed the knight. So instead of killing Pompier the assassin took Pompier with him of course after knocking him out. The man who Pompier later became to know was Fred Yhurstic, a well known spy and assassin for hire. Which of course only Pompier knew his name, but from the age of 13 Pompier trained under his mentor and at the age of 17 he had his trial he had to spy on a knight who was plotting a coup in a province and then kill him. Everything went off without a hitch until he had to kill the knight, Pompier hesitated for a second and the knight saw him. Which lead to a fight in which Pompier received a cut on his upper arm, lucky Pompier was taught to fight dirty and threw a near by torch at the knight then as the knight was focused on the torch Pompier kicked the man in the balls and slit his throat quickly grabbing any important looking documents and then quickly exiting the manor while being chased by the guards.
Equipment: twin daggers, mask, a cloak, bag of coins, poison
Strengths:quick on his feet, tactical, well trained and versatile
Weaknesses: Over confident, alcoholic and small build
Theme Song:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf8CuLIOCwc
Other:N/A
RP Sample: Pompier was sitting in the cool autumn air, it was dark not even the moon's shine was coming through the clouds. Which was exactly what he was hoping for, he had been tasked with stealing documents of a lords rival and then bring it to him. Though he had a time limit to do this, he had to turn the papers into the man who hired in within the next five days. Pompier wanted to get the papers yesterday, but his shadow gave him away the first time he tried it and now the whole manor was on alert. Guards were patrolling the whole area and it looked like lord had hired some mercenaries to bolster his guards numbers. Damn, this whole place smells of shit and piss. But now this guy hires mercenaries, now that is just over the top. I guess my client wasn't at truthful as I had thought. This lord had some money and that wasnt a good thing, if I am here I might as well steal some stuff for find a vault and steal some coins which would no doubt be heavily guarded. Then Pompier's thoughts were interrupted by the rustling of a bush, he slowly crept over to it and a bird flew out. He sighed and started to make his approach towards the manor.

Character Name: Sir Richard Solomon "Backbiter" Hallick
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Image:(Image)
House, if any: Formerly House Solomon
Personality: Calm, cautious, intelligent, slightly arrogant, prideful, a true penny-pincher.
Biography/Background:Born and raised in Bismarck City, Richard Solomon's family was long the head of the House Solomon, one of the oldest - and wealthiest - houses in the whole realm of Victoria. They were often known for their political prowess and their support of the Bismark Empire. However, much of their power came from their militant branch, the Swords of Solomon, a clandestine paramilitary organization that used shady tactics to meet their goals, like bribery, interrogation, and often engagements in "profitable military intervention".
Richard, always an ambitious boy, was taught a variety of talents ranging from mathematics and economics, to military tactics, fencing, horse riding, and archery, often by Hallick Solomon, his Uncle, and the head of the Swords. Richard's father was often too busy to even meet his son, let alone train him. In this way, Hallick became more of a father to Richard than his own father, and together the two formed a strong bond.
Once the Empire fell, so did much of the House. Internal issues led to infighting, and when Richard was in his early twenties, his father was killed by an assassin's blade, though this didn't affect Richard much. Hallick, along with his nephew, took what was left of the House's wealth and deserted, the fractured Swords of Solomon with them. From then on they acted as Mercenary group, using previous tactics to obtain profit, mostly from corrupt officials, or those with issues that required "personal" attention. Overtime the organization grew, both in size and wealth, and started getting involved in the wars and conflicts of other nations, typically on the winning side. By the time Richard got to thirty, the Swords of Solomon had encompassed most of Bretton, and had influence across the globe.
Richard, already a formidable warrior, had long served next to his uncle, and felt he was ready to finally settle down somewhere. However, his future plans were washed away, when his now elder uncle was killed in a deal gone sour, and Richard was handed the torch of leadership. Using what he learned, he achieved revenge on his uncle's killer, and changed his surname to Hallick in his honor. Now, several years late, faced with the inevitability of war, which meant gold and opportunity, Richard Solomon Hallick would lead the Swords of Solomon into whatever fate or bloodshed seemed the most profitable.
Equipment: Wields a large silver broadsword that is sheathed on his back, two steel short swords, and uses a longbow carved from redwood at range.
Strengths: A brilliant tactician, Richard has a knack for strategy, and often uses the enemy's position against them. While in the heat of battle, he keeps a calm mind and stays focused on his surroundings for the sake of survival. Trained personally by his uncle, Hallick Solomon, Richard also excels in hand to hand combat, and holds the record in his group for the most kills with a bow.
Weaknesses: Despite his excellence at combat and his intellect, he's a worthless case when gold gets involved. Richard tends to wade into tense situations when a large sum is proposed, and while his talent on the field solves most problems, other times his arrogance have resulted in high casualties and even higher refunds.

Nation Name: New Kratopolis
Guild Name: Officially the "Swords of Solomon", but also goes by "Richard's Riders", and quite unofficially "Hallick's Folly"
Head of Guild: Richard Hallick
Function of Guild: Mercenary/Sellsword
Strengths: With massive numbers, and an awful lot of gold, the Swords of Solomon are able to do mostly whatever they please with little intervention. Surprisingly well disciplined and organized, the men of the Swords are able to respond to a number of specialized "requests", ranging from assassination, security, even war on occasion. They have some of the best cavalry in the whole of Bretton, earning them the moniker of "Richards Riders".
Weaknesses: Quite alike to Richard himself, many agents will rush into dangerous or deadly situations if enough gold is in hand. Because of their size, training and discipline can be difficult. This occasionally leads to high mortality rates when inexperienced agents or armies engage in their "requests". Even though they could afford it, they lack a navy, preferring to use boats only to travel outside of Bretton, while on assignments overseas.
Wealth: As their organization grew, so did their wealth. With their hands in the pockets of many, a deep connection in the criminal underworld, as well as a number of grateful donations from their "benefactors", the Swords of Solomon are able to buy virtually anything they require, whether it be tomorrow's dinner, or one of the dukes of Ghondra.
Military: About 40,500 men total, the majority of them centered in Bretton.
15,000 horsemen armed with a combination of swords, spears, and bows.
20,000 soldiers and swordsmen, scattered in regiments across Bretton, most at 1,000 each
5,000 individual agents, people specialized in specific tasks.
500 hedge knights, personalized in tasks that require Richards "Personal Attention". Richards Riders
