Backround/History: Growing up without a father in the capital, Reyvadin, allowed Charles freedom to roam the city and learn from many. Charles grew up stealing bread and meat from shops, training his stamina and speed. One man that stood out to Charles was a scholar who taught him to read, a luxury that few have. As he grew up, he heard stories of glorius battles that Vaegir had won, and wishing to be a part of the glorius battles, enlisted in the army.
Starting out as a footmen, Charles soon learned that war was very bloody, and glory was inconsequential during a battle. Learning that war was often without glory lead to Charles questioning his reason to fight. He spent many days marching thinking about this subject and came to the realization that if he didn't fight to protect those who can't, who would?
During a battle on the plains against the armies of the Swadians, cavalry had pincered the Vaegirians and taken out many archers. Seeing this, Charles picked up a bow and fell many infantrymen with his sword(mainly sword) and a shortbow. During this battle, one of his arrows saved a lord and as a repayment to Charles, he gave Charles a set of studded leather armor as well as a bastard sword and a warbow. Charles retired as a marksmen of the Vaegir army at the age of 24 and began the life of a mercenary. Surprising enough, he keeps the kite shield that saved his life many times during his time a footmen.
In the years after his retirement, life as a mercenary was nowhere near enough to support himself and as such, he relied upon hunting animals for meat, also skinning and tanning these hides for additional money. He also picked up a saddle horse with saddle bags on them to carry supplies for himself and his spoils of battle. To this day, he continues to fight as a mercenary, sometimes taking in charity cases if the reason is justified.
