Name: Haesten
Age: 24
Residence: With Xian Liang.
Appearance: Haesten, in his plate armor, stands at 6'5, and at 6'4 without it on. When Haesten isn't wearing his Plate Armor, He wears a red bandana and a red cloak over a black sleeveless silk shirt, with a red sash. His bandana helps hold his black hair, which spikes outward, out of his eyes so he can see. He has red-ish eyes, which seem to almost have no pupil from the lack of light which reaches his eyes while in his helmet.
Personallity: Haesten, much like Liu Yan who he spends a lot of time with, is devoted to War. Having memorized the Art of War, Haesten attempts to remain calm at all times, Even in the heat of battle. Outside of battle, Haesten can be friendly but it's an effort for him.
Weapon: Claymore, A weapon that is over 5'6 long, It weighs nearly 80 lbs. The blade is good for both removing limbs and breaking bones if it fails to penetrate armor.
Weapon Strengths: It's incredibly heavy adding momentum to his swings, It's massive, making it harder to dodge, It's absolutely devastating on horseback.
Weapon Weaknesses: It's length can be a problem, as can it's weight. It's not as fast as some weapons, and it's near useless in tight spaces.
Armour: Haesten wears a suit of foreign Plate Mail armor, Underneath is Chain-Mail.
History: Back in England, Haesten served a English Nobleman as a Squire, his job at that point was to serve as a "practice dummy" for the lord's knights, To help them perfect their skills with weapons and act as a target for his archers. Growing up in this fashion, Haesten soon became accustomed to weapons of all shapes and sizes and proved himself enough to his Lord that he was allowed to join his armed forces, and given a weapon of his choice. With his height, Haesten chose an overly large weapon, the Claymore. He spent several months training with the Knights to develop the strength and skill needed to wield a claymore efficiently, before a knight was killed in practice. Quite honestly, it was a mistake anyone could have made, the knight had forgotten to wear his helmet and when he deflected the claymore off his sword, it sunk into the next thing it hit, namely his skull. Haesten was forced to gather his armor and flee, running from his Lord and England as an outlaw. After bartering passage off of England, He landed in France and made his way East, intending to get as far from England as possible. After several months of wandering, Haesten arrived in China where he met Liu Yan and Xian Liang, who he joined for companianship and a source of income. He's never looked back since.
Other details: Heasten hails from England, but as they have not discovered the Chinese yet, He's labeled as a "Westerner."
