THE BASICS <img src="https://pp.vk.me/c624222/v624222622/b11f/Z6DZxjResDc.jpg"align=right>

Name: Elim Bowman


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Gender: Male

Age: 27

Hair: Brown

Eyes: Blue

Distinguishing Marks: He sports scars about his wrists from manacle wounds, and the pointer and middle fingers of his left hand are completely calloused over. They are callouses of an archer.

General Appearance: Elim is a slim, whip-like man that’s more akin in looks to an acrobat over a brawler. His dark hair is roughly cut and short, and though in years past he was in the habit of shaving daily, he’s begun sporting stubble instead. The clothes tend to match his hair in being rough-cut, disheveled, and absolutely not befitting a noble’s son, not even a bastard. His eyes, however, are clear blue and watchful, and he moves with the coiled ease of a practitioner of violence so confident in his skills he no longer needs to boast. Like his older brother, he has an easy-going smile and often looks like he’s got a quip close to his tongue.



HISTORY

Personality: The world is not a nice place. It is not a friendly place. It is not the sort of place where all children get puppies and parents dote on their children. Least ways, not to Elim.

He wouldn’t recognize the world if those things happened, because if everyone was content there wouldn’t need to be men like Elim. As a field agent for the DeHavilands, he’s killed, sold secrets, and betrayed people that put their trust in him because he is a man of his word. More often than not, his word is given to the DeHavilands. The only exception is when he’s given an assassin’s order; he has killed the wrong target before, and the event left him scarred. He’ll kill, but he will take the time to ensure the victim is deserving of the fate.

Sexual Preferences: Bisexual

House: Known (to Alexander) bastard of Grandduke Von Roehm and a camp follower
New House: The Court of Miracles

About Your character: As it turns out, Asher DeHaviland is not the only bastard son of Alexander Von Roehm. While off on a campaign, he bedded a camp follower, and, though the resulting child was never publically claimed, Elim and his mother were sent regular stipends from Alexander to ensure his bastard son would live a comfortable life.

Unfortunately for both mother and son, the less savory characters in the town discovered the generous source of income and the boy and his mother were pressured by the local underground to give up the Von Roehm stipends when they came into town. If his mother ever refused, the money was taken by force. Elim never lived in the luxury his father had intended, and instead had to learn from a young age how to defend himself and his mother.

By the time Alexander got wind of Elim’s predicament and dispatched soldiers to extract both mother and son, Archduke DeHaviland had gotten wind of the boy’s existence. In exchange for giving his mother a comfortable life as a kitchen maid in the DeHaviland estate, Elim agreed to become one of the king’s secret agents.

He first met Asher during his initial training, and the two became brothers, even though Elim constantly ribbed Asher for being useless as the pampered son of some lord. He also discovered that he was an excellent bowman, and was quickly stamped as a marksman due to both his expertise in the black market and his proficiency with his weapon. As such he was hardly ever without a mission.

The rest, as they say, is classified.
