Baelor Celtigar

Baelor is the second child, and second son, of Lord Corlys Celtigar of Claw Isle. Named after Prince Baelor Targaryen, who was a contemporary of his father. Born in the year 374AC, he proved himself able in both battle and on the tourney field, leading to his appointment to the Kingsguard in 407AC.

Appearance and character
Baelor is a mass of muscle and metal, standing easily over 6 feet tall. He sports short hair and a cropped beard, shaving it for special occasions. Both hair and beard are coloured the telltale silver of house Celtigar, while his eyes are blue like his fathers. Not typically over handsome, Baelor's features are more aptly described as strong. A square jaw, bricklike chin, and thick brows are key features of his face. In his armor, Baelor is akin to a hulking beast, while out of it he displays an uncanny dexterity belying his size.

Baelor is highly self motivated when it comes to his goals, and having been a very serious young man growing up he spent hours obsessing over said goals, perfection being the goal. Never shying from a challenge, Baelor saw his name as an expectation for him to live up to, and followed in the footsteps of his namesake in becoming a master of combat. Baelor can be best described as impassively ruthless in many of his actions, but has a weakness for his sister, and tries his best to be a good knight.

History
Baelor was the second child of Corlys Celtigar. When he was born, it was immediately noted that he was far bigger than his elder brother at his own birth. This proved to be an accurate representation of the future, with Baelor outgrowing his elder brother at a young age and to this day remaining a good head higher than his sibling.

As a boy, he was devoted to his academic studies and did well enough, though he shined in the yard, spending hours of every day on horseback or sparring. What began as a necessary activity developed over time into reluctant acceptance of his talent, and eventually enjoyment, and Baelor spent years refining his abilities. Inherent skill was further amplified by Baelor's great strength and reach. Comparatively, Baelor had little interest or skill in the matters of Nobility, with love for his mother being the only factor that pushed him to learn the very basics of courtly etiquette.

As a young teen he was taken on as a squire and excelled, eventually being knighted at an absurdly young age so that he could participate in a tourney in place of his master. He did not win, but learnt much from the experience, and continued to participate whenever available. For a few years his sights were set on the white cloak, a goal that forever seemed just out of reach, and Baelor resigned himself to tourneys, killing banditry, and fighting for his father in any capacity required.

Baelor did try to make it to the tourney at Harrenhal but arrived late. Instead he found himself anointed the white cloak he had dreamed of for years.
