Basic Information
Race:Human
Birthday & Age :24 Winter 487
Gender:Male
Physical Description
Sigmund Matthial is a young man in his early to mid-twenties. Standing at a diminutive 5'6 he hardly strikes for a tall figure.The overall physique is hard to tell under his robes, but he looks to be toned if not well-built. The facial features are rather delicate, with a pronounced jaw line, high cheekbones, and a thin nose bridge. The eyes are a light shade of blue with a messy mat of hair atop the head. A few scars are visible, one across the nose, and another rising from the left side of the jaw.
Personality
Despite a crippling depression, a slow-burning rage, and a general dislike of all living things, Sigmund takes it all in stride. His dry, sarcastic wit is often the first thing heard. Despite this, or maybe because of it, Matthial has a real issue dealing with other people. The traveler has spent most of his time among bandits and ne'er-do-wells and has unconsciously adopted their mannerisms despite his Sylirian upbringing. He is rude, brash, quick to anger, and quite frankly barely gets along with anyone. The young man's outlook on life is dark, and highly pessimistic. He tries not to speak too often, as it simply causes trouble.
Inside, Matthial is a mixture of rage, lust, and depression. The man has spent his most recent years in an almost continuous state of rage, moving from one place to another, drawing his sword at the slightest provocation. This has lead to his rather tortured mind. Having killed time and time again regardless of the circumstances has led to a deep depression and the view that he is little more then a monster.
It is within this continuous storm of emotion that the seeds have been planted for serenity. The desire to overcome these aspects, while finding the truth of human nature has lead Matthial in search of a spirituality of sorts. His search for redemption is what drives his journey now, as opposed to revenge.
Character Concept
A shattered husk of a man, wandering the forgotten parts of Mizahar in search of atonement. |
Character History
 Sigmund Matthial was the youngest of two boys born to a young couple in the Mithryn Outpost just outside of Syliras. Their father was a soon-to-be-retired Knight, while their mother was a well-known watch cook. Sigmund learned at a young age how to handle a sword, and much of the history regarding the shining city and its benevolent protectors. As a young man when he wasn't training or studying, Sigmund and his older brother Cecil did chores around the house, and worked out among the fields . It wasn't long before each young man started to show flashes of his future. Cecil was strong, independent, and calm in the face of difficult situations. Earmarked for a chance at knighthood the older brother was given every attention and chance for success. In direct contrast Sigmund was a trouble maker, and often found himself in conflict with those around him.
The Matthial family grew with the addition of a little girl. Ten years younger then Sigmund, the cost of bringing her into Mizahar was high. Mrs. Mathial's funeral was short, and marked a change in their normally jovial father. He began to travel, leaving Sigmund to and tend the fields in his absence. Cecil was finishing his squirehood when word came to the family that Ser Matthial was in missing. Leaving Kestral with their grandparents, the brothers travelled to nearby villages and outposts in search of news of their father. Eventually they learned the old knight had gone to Ravok.
The black city all but destroyed the Matthial family. His father and brother missing, Sigmund returned. The broken man took his father's chainmail and sword. Visiting Kestra one last time, the last male heir to the Matthial line embarked on a quest for vengance.
Currently Sigmund Matthial has found his way back into civilization. The rebellious young trouble maker has dissapeared, and in his place, a shallow, husk of a man. Sigmund Matthial has come to realize that the road of vengence is quite long and taxing. Unable to find those responsible, the man only found violence within himself, and those he met.
