Appearance and Character
Growing up Roderick had always been one of the tallest boys on Tarth. As he grew older he began to fill out, and by his teenage years he was a tall and muscled youth. By the time he finished growing the man looked a warrior in every way. This brought both his parents great pride.

In many ways Roderick takes after his northern mother. Like her he has a mercurial personality and wild temper. This coupled with his physical prowess causes many to tread carefully around him. His father forced the young man to learn everything an heir and future lord should, and to the his credit he applied himself as best he could. But every chance he had he'd return to the training ground, for combat was were he found joy.
