Age: 50
Gender: Male
Birthdate: April 20th, 1377
City / Region: Forestier, Faucheux
House [ Birth, Marriage if applicable ]: Pycern
Played by: Ian Beattie
Appearance:
Edwyrd is a man who always wears a scornful scowl even in times of jolliness, he is not prone to laughter or general enjoyment as most are. Rarely is he seen out of his Royal Guard armor, having found it a more common attire then simple clothes. His hair is often cropped short as is his beard but other than that it is usually not well combed or groom, often untamed and left to it’s own cropped devices.
Always with his sword, dagger, and spear or cross bow he fancies himself ready for any incursion.
Personality:
Edwyrd is a man to hold absolutely no humor, he doesn’t smile, he doesn’t laugh nor does he participate in courtly formalities other than bowing, nodding, or saluting. It isn’t that he doesn’t know how to but rather he simply doesn’t want to. Having served in the Royal Guard for nearly all of his adult life and in the service of the Royal Family nearly all his life, he knows the ins and out the palace like the back of his hand.
However despite his abrasive exterior he is highly respectful of members of the Royal Family, and having serve for such a long time as one of the few Knight Captains in the Royal Guard. He has stood guard as the old generation has slowly made way for the new generation and even served on the personal retinue of a few royals, his loyalty to House Deveraux has never been in question.
His lack of material possessions and land have made him only to rely on the support and employment of the Royals, his service is a mix of duty and self obligation.

Character History:
Born to Damien Pycern a knight under House Deschênes, mother having died giving birth. Edwyrd was not groomed to be anything more than a man after his own father. He was born to no great noble house nor wealthy or influential family and all he possessed was gained by the hard worker of his father or his own hands. Raised at a young age with a tutor who was paid by his own father’s coin and eventually squired by his own father he was taught the ways of knighthood, arms and armor, combat, warfare and even service to one’s liege.
His entire childhood was spent working, toiling under the tutelage of his knight master and father, when he was fifteen he met a girl and authentically fell in love with her they planned to eventually wed when they were old enough. She was later raped and murdered in a raid on her village and it was said after that day, Edwyrd never again smiled. Driven by a new focus he turned to his studies, his lessons and his duties.
By the time he was eighteen he was knighted after a large skirmish in fighting off a bandit band who had gathered enough fighters to threaten outposts. Once knight and his options more liberated he set out to join the only Knightly Order which in his opinion mattered, The Order of the Clavigers. It wasn’t an easy undergoing and in fact Edwyrd took the rigorous exams three times before finally passing, nearly putting himself in destitution in the meantime.
Once in, he was assigned to a senior knight served his time as a probationary knight, taught the line of orders. Patrols, taught duties and the expectations of a Knight of the Royal Guard and as years passed he was then considered a Senior Knight of the Royal Guard eventually he was named Knight Captain of his own platoon of royal guards. Having master his trials, led his men he’s served as a Knight in the Order of the Clavigers, and a Knight Captain in the Royal Guard for the past thirty years.
Though recently after the death of Stephane Deveraux he’s been aptly assigned to guard and protect the Benoit line of House Deveraux.
