Character Name: Bowen Pentaghast
Age: 36
Sex: Male
Race: Human
Class: Warrior
Specializations: Champion / Guardian
Favored skills: Sword and shield, but he's handy with two hand weapons and crossbows.
Hobbies: Fishing, playing nevarran guitar, eating, drinking, smoking, sparring, reading... he's a simple man.
Background:
Bowen is a Pentaghast, the royal family in Nevarra, but thankfully he was nowhere near the throne, or so he claims. Wether or not this is true, it is unknown... yet. He is closely related to Cassandra, but hasn't seen her since they were kids. Bowen left Nevarra when he was in his late teens, aching for seeing the world and fleeing from the perspective of becoming the consort of some other noble house (he wasn't the older son).
He became a mercenary and met Gunnar, and they traveled for many years and many countries, and finally both settled in Ferelden, from where Gunnar was from, in Amaranthine. After some time working for a rich merchant, Bowen fell for his daughter, and surprisingly for him, the daughter fell for him too. He didn't care that she was half elvhen, and was infamous in the city for having more than words with bullies that he caught molesting Alienage elves. The merchant was more than happy to let them marry, and for a couple of years they were happy.
Six years before the Fifth Blight, the merchant decided to move to Denerim, in a large caravan protected by many guards, but before getting there they traveled to Highever, then Orzanmar, then Redcliffe, and then to Denerim, getting rid of goods. They were ambushed by a large band of darkspawn near the Brecilian Forest, and many were slaughtered. Thankfully Duncan, the Warden-Commander was traveling that path with a future recruit, and tried to help, but not many were able to survive, and some had to be spared a horrible death.
Bowen first met Calliara when he saw her ripping his dead wife's womb open trying to save their unborn son, at eight months of pregnancy. His son lived for eight minutes and twenty seconds. Duncan offered him a chance for vengueance, and so, the Nevarran joined the Wardens.
Personality: Apparently he's a cheery good natured man with a soft spot for women and children, and very tolerant. In reality he is encaged in his own invisible shield, afraid of losing anyone again. Knowing of Ostagar almost killed him, but had to kept going for the sake of Calliara. He lost a family once, and then again, and thinks he won't be able to take it if he loses anyone again. He is determined to go on his Calling if that happens, but in the end he keeps having hope.
Weapons/Armor:
Massive Grey Warden armor (with another retexture but I can't find a pic of it. I'll update when I have it)
