Backround/History:
Heinrich was born the fourth son of Swadian lord, having no hope of ever inheriting land. Heinrich was from a very early age trained in the way of martial prowess, just as his father and brothers before him had been. Heinrich spent hours each day training with the other pages in the castle courtyard training to one day earn their place on the battlefield. Heinrich first learned how to use the sword and mace, before becoming proficient in other weapons. Whenever the pages earned their breaks most would playfight against each other with their wooden swords. Heinrich however would instead go to his fathers library to read about countless storys or go to the countryside to watch the peasants work.
One day during these breaks Heinrich decided to explore his fathers personal hunting grounds. There he found the archers of his fathers levys practicing their aim at various targets setup there. Heinrich visited day after day to watch the archer practice until he gathered up the courage to approach them. He soon began to practice with them regularly in his free time, and then slowly began to neglect his other duties to spend even more time with the bow. Heinrich grew to become an amazing archer, soon outstripping even the conscripted poachers among the levys. Heinrichs body grew to be massive like that of his brothers, but his arms had adapted to the pull of a bow as well as the weight of a sword and he was more muscular than his fellow pages. However, Heinrich grew snobby as he would often not wait on the lords at the tables as his fellow pages often did in order to practice with the bow, and it quickly became obvious that Heinrich had skipped his horse riding lessons as he could hardly sit upon a horse, more or less ride one.
While Heinrich had gotten away with his archery practice as a page, as a squire he could not be as "carefree." He was assigned to one his older brothers as a squire, and participated in many battle alongside fellow lords. But it became clear that Heinrich was unable to ride a warhorse, and preferred his lighter squire mail to that of the heavy plate of his comrades. Even worse, he began to carry a bow into battle, preferring to fight on foot from afar rather than the noble melees. Soon even Heinrich's father, who typically ignored his forth and almost insignificant son, began to notice Heinrich's odd styles. Furious that his son had chosen a method of combat reserved for only the lowest of soldiers, Heinrichs father decided to punish Heinrich in an almost unimaginable way. Heinrich was brought before his father who decreed that if Heinrich would use a bow like a common poacher, then he would be hunted like the criminals they were. Heinrich was thrown into the forest and the local lords were gathered together for a "hunt." As Heinrich began to run the lords released dogs after him to catch him, and no matter how fast Heinrich ran the dogs caught up to him. Heinrich had no weapons on him so there was nothing he could do when a dog pounced on him and began to bite through his leg. Heinrich managed to grab a nearby branch and beat the dog off before the lords caught up to him. He was chained and brought back to his fathers castle before he was released and treated. His father looked upon him in disgust and told him that if he heard anymore about his archery that he would no longer have a fourth son. Heinrich spent many months in bed recovering from the savage dog bite, often reading about the surrounding lands. One night with the help of his other brother who he had squired for Heinrich slipped out of the castle with his mail, a sword, and his bow.
Heinrich spent a month wandering the lands doing petty mercenary jobs before he joined a caravan bound for New Zendar. As the caravan entered the valley the caravan master paid off Heinrich and thanked him for his service. With a pouch of gold and his bow slung across his back Heinrich headed into the valley of swamps looking for any work, steady or temporary, that he can find for a man of his abilitys.
Death: Joining the watch and rising quickly to the rank of commander, Heinrich enjoyed a full life, serving with comrades who appreciated his skill and even meeting a fair sarranid by the name of Callista. However, frequent clashes with the Chalse family of Laras led to many captures on both sides, and one day Heinrich and two of his men were captured and taken to Laras. Heinrich knew his fate was to end his life there, but he did not know how. Heinrich asked that his men be released, and the Lord of Laras agreed on the grounds that Heinrich come with his man "Ringlo" to the keep. As soon as they entered the keep Ringlo pushed Heinrichs face into a bed of coals in the fireplace, burning him badly. While Heinrich was still reeling from the pain the savage man Ringlo began to cut Heinrichs toes off. Heinrich attempted to resist so Ringlo grabbed a hammer and proceeded to break his ribs, arms, and legs to stop Heinrich. In retaliation for Heinrichs resistance, Ringlo then cut off the watchmans sword hand and finished cutting off Heinrichs toes. At this point the lord of Laras came in to see Heinrich, and asked him how he felt. Heinrich replied that the lord could "Go to hell" and was rewarded for this with his hair being set on fire by Ringlo at the behest of the lord. Seeing as Heinrich would eventually die, Ringlo kept his toything alive and castrated him, playing with the man genitals and a bucket of water. Heinrich was then brought out of the keep and displayed to one of his men as a warning to other watchmen entering the mountains. Heinrichs body was then thrown off the mountin while arrows were shot down upon him, ending his life in the river flowing under Laras.
