Name: Jacob Martin Ward
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Appearance: Jacob has shaggy black hair that manages to just barely stay above shoulder-length, and an oddly well-trimmed goatee. His eyes are a rather dark shade of grey, although why this is the case is anyone's guess. Skin's a bit pale, but what can you do? There's also a pretty nasty scar right above his left eye. Clothes-wise, right now he's wearing a pretty thick black coat, thick boots, thick trousers... Really, everything you'll need to not freeze to death in the Frostfell Wastes. He's pretty tall, too, at 6'7".
Personality: Jacob, to be frank, only has 3 things he really cares about: debts, fighting and money, roughly in that order. If he believes that he owes someone something, then he will go to hell and back to pay back the debt. He enjoys fighting, perhaps a little too much, and, well, you gotta make ends meet somehow, right?
Background: Jacob was, once upon a time, the youngest child of a rather prominent mercenary family, the Wards. That is, until they ended up biting off just a little bit too much with a sabotaged assignment, and then they all died.
Left orphaned, and, even with the majority of it stolen, a quite sizable portion to his name, Jacob took up the family trade at the tender age of 9 years old. Of course, he wasn't exactly taken seriously for many years because, really, who WOULD take a 9 year old child claiming to be a mercenary seriously? But, eventually, he managed to get a decent reputation, and, with it, a decent living. Along the way, he's seen his fair share of both skirmishes and wars, but, in the end, he survived.
Now? Well, now he's going to the Frostfell Wastes for many different reasons, most of which he's not willing to share. The official reason, of course, is that he was hired by the Church of St. Esbel for the expedition.
