Doryon

Doryon "The Dragonslayer" is a character developed by AcheronTheExile for the Song of Ice and Fire roleplaying game. He is a surely warrior with a wretched past.

Characterization
Doryon is a tall, strong man hailing from lands unknown. Bearing dark, unkempt hair and pale, much scarred skin oft coated in the worked hides of beasts, he at first glance seems a wild and savage man. His rough exterior conceals an expert in the natures and affairs of battle. From one-on-one duels to grand strategy, a dark background has taught him much of the ways of death and war.

Though typically of a serious demeanor, Doryon is not completely devoid of humour, grim his subject matter will often seem. He is also fond of boasting the ability to "spear a dragon in flight before the flame has conjured in its throat." Aside from these occasions he is like a man possessed in most affairs, specifically to those related to his primary trade; combat. When embroiled in battle he is quickly overtaken by a dark temperament, ignoring the words and assistance of allies and the strikes of enemies. This, combined with his generally disheveled appearance and foe-cleaving axe put forth the image of a great monster, uncaring of its own fate and seeking only the death of those before it.

Those who know of him know tales of a lunatic who claims to slay dragons, or a dangerous beast that thirsts for blood like a man would thirst for water, or perhaps even as a demon come to strike down the faithful and pure. Those who truly know him know a darker tale, one of betrayal and dishonour, a once noble man brought down by greed and blinded by hatred. Or, so the tales go.
