Lothar Bracken

Lothar Bracken is the son of the late lord of Stone Hedge Jason Bracken and his wife, Lady Doreah Bracken née Hunter. With his elder brother, Otho Bracken, dying in the Second Hammer uprising Lothar inherited the Lordship of Stone Hedge with his father's passing in 438 AC.

Appearance and Character
While of average height Lothar's build is strong thanks to many years spent in the training yard dreaming of being a knight. With powerful arms and legs striking an imposing posture. He has light hazel coloured eyes with oak brown hair flowing down to about the end of his neck. Lothar has a powerful jawline, complimenting his jaw is a carefully kept beard. On his right, should he has a deep scar from a stab wound inflicted accidentally during sparring.

Usually, Lothar dresses in brightly coloured red, yellow or brown colours. Typically favouring the brown on most occasions. He also rarely wears ornaments of any kind preferring instead practical and comfortable clothes. He always carries with him a one-handed sword should anyone want a fight.

Lothar always carries a stoic look on his face, often trying to look as dour as possible trying to emulate the legendary Bracken knights of old. However, his sorry attempt at a solemn face often becomes a broad smile or a bout of laughter at the slightest notice. Instead of the steadfast knight he desires to be, Lothar is a man ruled by emotion. He loves his family, and particularly their history, almost as much as he loves drinking, fighting and feasting. However, with values of honour and duty instilled in him from a young age, he can overcome most of his urges. He has, despite his flaws, proven an extremely competent ruler with harvests becoming far more bountiful under his rule.

Early Childhood
Lothar was born into House Bracken as the second son and the youngest of the four Bracken children. All the way from the crib to his own bed his mother, and sometimes father, would tell stories about the honourable knights of yore who slew monstrous beasts and were pious and dutiful in all their actions. From the moment he could think he wished to be a knight. Already from the age of two, he was swinging around sticks and "practising" as he called it. His father, bemused at his son's antics, allowed him to start training at the age of four. During the next four years, Lothar proved himself surprisingly skilled and a quick learner in his sword fighting lessons.
