Appearance:
Name: Gerard (Jah-ahd) Eugene Harvey
Age: 31
Location: Lorana Kingdom (Currently)
Class: Sellsword/Ex-Knight
Weapon: Iron Sword & Steel Shield (Current Equipment)
Personality: Calm. Polite. Intimidating. Loyal. The words that come to mind when someone asks of Gerard Harvey, despite some having a personal vendetta with he. A man who will respect you if the proper respect is returned to him.
History: Gerard Eugene Harvey wasn't born into royalty nor nobility. He wasn't born dirt poor either, middle-class was where his family found the middle ground. He was an only child, growing up one of the many small farming community located just outside the Helsa Imperial. They managed to move along in their lives without much of a struggle, Edward Harvey, Gerard's father, taught the youth of humble beginnings.
And with that, Gerard was molded into a young man that would soon join the Helsa Imperial Knighthood at the age of 17.
For the next few years, he moved his way up steadily up, honing his already excellent swordsmanship and skills. He lived far from his family and was stationed in many of unpleasant locales during his early years. When Gerard was 21 years old he received a letter informing him of the death of his mother, Marla. He stood fast and stuck with the Knighthood at his father's request.
And he did just that.
Now four years have passed since the passing and Gerard had now joined the upper ranks of the Knighthood. Entrusted with more important jobs, some dealing with royalty, others became jealous and flustered at his rise past them. Others despised Harvey, not for setting a bad example but for succeeding where they could not. Given tasks of more notability than most, his favor began to increase amongst the higher ranking officers.
He was doing things correctly by him and others. Regularly he would send money to his father, who now was suffering from an illness. It was enough to pay for in-home White Mage care, the magic made the pain subside but only temporarily.
On Gerard's 26th birthday, he was brought in for questioning. The charges were unknown but they were obviously severe crimes. He was imprisoned for cautionary reasons for a few days, still the crime was never mentioned to him. On the fourth day, they came for him. Someone corrupt with connections must have seen this through. He could not expose it for no chance was given.
He was stripped of his title and rank, his equipment returned and he was sent on his way. Flat on his face, with only sparse details of why this was all happening. He returned home, where he cared for his father and his farmlands for a few months up until his death.
Grief-stricken and out for a drink, he was approached by some shady characters claiming to work for a grand magician. They offered him a job as a bodyguard to the wizard, with promises of riches, loose women and the lot. In a drunken haze, he accepted and left that night, hastily with them without a second thought.
For the next three years he traveled alongside the wizard and his companions. The work sometimes was less than desirable but he grunted through it, his chivalrous ways often conflicting with them. The pay was the only thing that kept him. Until eventually he was left for dead by the crooked spellcaster and his cronies.
Gerard recovered, it took him a year and a half to do so. The manipulative wizards magic was far superior than he had thought. Now far from his homeland he continued south until reaching the kingdom of Lorana. With no leads on the spellcaster nor a bother of what happened amongst the Knighthood (as he had no intentions to go back to those dogs). He stopped in the vast kingdom, maybe here he could start anew.
