Shylock Fortinbras

Shylock Rufus Fortinbras is both the current King of Uskein as well as the General of his country's military the Golden Legion, now renamed the Dark Pride. Fortinbras is widely regarded as a genius of combat, tactics and leadership, being one of the greatest alive in his current generation of royalty. His prowess, integrity and reputation breeds envy among the other royals, this envy is grown further from Shylock achieving all of this at such a young age. Shylock' knights are viewed as an elite unit and are only called upon for foreign campaigns in desperate conditions.

Personality
Shylock is usually quite a stoic and humble man, having little to say in the words of positivity of his achievements and his status, only focussed on the future and its possibilities. Shylock often describes all of his attibutes as average and of a middle-class, including what he has accomplished, his appearance and the like.

When leading or inspiring his men he adopts a very likeable and charismatic persona, a side of him that comes to him naturally because of his mark.

Appearance
Shylock is a young man, around twenty five years old with a very classically handsome face, strong jawline, defined cheekbones, pale blue eyes, a stubble and rough onyx-black, unkempt hair. After his duel with Duncan Nightwork at the Battle of Tempest Rock, Shylock lost his right eye, had severe facial scarring and lost his right hand, along with other minor scarring.

After spending time on the continent of Giants and healing, he wears an eyepatch and let his hair grow out, often being compared to a lion with a mane, hence his nickname of the Black Lion. He wears a bronze coloured suit of armour with a white cape and a crown of brass.

After his time with the Giants, Shylock began to wear some of the gifts the Giants had given him, like a thick pelt and certain crystals and small trinkets. Shylock often wears his hair with occasional braids in it to keep with Giant culture.

Abilities
Shylock is a competent and talented swordsman however is weaker at bladework that several of his senior officers, instead his powers lie within his mind as opposed to his abilities with a blade.

Mark
Shylock possesses the mark of Pyros, having a highly militarized mind, being a very talented tactician, military strategist and leader. Shylock has been known to unconsciously refer to his own mind using militarised vocabulary as a subtle side effect of his mark. Shylock is an incredible leader and his name is spoken of across the Crimson Isle for his skill and charisma as a leader.
