Name: Cassius Tertius
Alias: n/a
Age: 27
Race: Imperial
Gender: Male
Class: Knight; Nobleman. Cassius is a noble, first and foremost, carrying himself with the dignity and arrogance associated with those of his social standing. Following in the tradition of his father, and forefathers, all loyal servants of the Emperor who served on the battlefield, he has been groomed since his childhood to take up the sword as well.
Birthsign: The Lady
Abilities: The son of a high ranking Knight of the Imperial Legion stationed in the province of Vvanderfell, Cassius has had access to the teachings of the greatest swordsman the Legions have to offer. A true son of the Legion, he is skilled in both Long sword and Shield, and is largely unaffected to the burden of Heavy Armour. As a nobleman, he is also relatively well-educated, knowledgeable both in Speechcraft, and the art of trade (Mercantile).
Magic: There are few things Cassius abhors more than the use of magic. The noble sees the practice as distasteful, and refuses to even converse with practitioners of the 'arts' unless absolutely necessary. Though a particularly extreme view, Cassius goes so far as to shun the magics of the Imperial Cult, and, especially so, the Temple.
Weaponry: An well-maintained, ornate Silver Long Sword. An old family heirloom, it has served generations of Tertius sons well. It is believed to be blessed, protecting its wielder from injury (A 'permanent' Sanctuary Enchantment, a small one, if possible).
Armour: He wears an impressively well-kept (through the help of servants, and plenty of wax) Duke's Guard Silver Cuirass, along with Imperial Steel Gauntlets and Imperial Steel Boots. Preferring not to be distracted by a helmet, or weighed down by heavier greaves, he wears, underneath his armour, expensive clothes befitting of his rank, and leaves his crown free of protection. He also wears a cape showing the symbol of the Imperial Legion.
Physical Description: As with most Imperials, he does not possess the most imposing of physical statures. Though fit and built like a soldier, he is a good inch or two shorter than the average Nord. He regularly trims his short, brown hair to maintain a neat, presentable appearance.
Personality: The adjectives arrogant and proud would best describe this young knight. Cassius was never taught how to properly respond to defeat, second place, or, in some extreme cases, disagreement, and will not stand the most insignificant slight, preferring, quite simply, resorting to blows when confronted. He has, from a young age, been taught nothing but the glories of the Empire, and believes it zealously. At the same time, his own ambition and prejudices stresses this loyalty, with the Imperial feeling as though many of Vvanderfell's upper echelons are bloated and full of corrupt, incompetent fools. He harbours a deep dislike of most other races, though his dislike is far less for the 'fairer' races, namely, Bretons and Nords. As a result, he is not very pleased over being stationed in Vvanderfell, because of its overwhelming population of Dunmer.
Biography: I might get to it later, most of the background could already be weaned from the previously provided information, though.
Other: So, a summary: Cassius is a bigot, a racist and an overall unpleasant fellow. I'll try not to go overboard with the hate. He'll most likely stay in Ebonheart exclusively, for obvious reasons, so if its not too much, could I get a thread or two in the city to RP in?
