Personality: Aquarius may have left the life of a noble knight behind but he still carries the banner of Chivalry. He act honourable and courteous to the many he faces each and every day. He's a gentlemen and tries to only fight others who follow the same conduct or deserve to be fought. However, he still has his own personality which he shows to those he trusts.

Biography: Born to the proud but hateful Griffinfell Family, Aquarius was predestined to become a knight. He learned ancient texts and languages of far off places at a young age. He became a Page at five and a Squire of his fathers at nine. He mastered the sword by twelve. By fifteen he was a knight with knowledge of ten languages no one else knew, countries he had never been, texts branded heretic nonsense. It didn't take him long to realise that everything he was learnt was pushing him further from his true limits. Aquarius took his horse, his lance and his shield. He abandoned his knighthood and set off at the age of twenty. He was slandered by his father but ignored it. He cared not for title or how the nobles saw him. All Aquarius wanted was freedom and he got it.
Skills: Aquarius is a great hunter. He is gifted with the bow, sword and lance. His language skills are almost flawless and his knowledge on the land grants him ease of access to any land he wishes. He can fake himself fairly well and knows how to get information out of people. He could survive in winter conditions, forests and barren lands of ice but when it comes to hotter conditions, he suffers slightly.
Likes: Aquarius enjoys fencing and jousting. He surprisingly enjoys relaxing by riverbeds and lakes, feeling the breeze upon him when he takes off his armour after a long ride. He loves his horse, Gallant, as close as one does a child.
Dislikes: Aquarius dislikes responsibility. He does not like taxes, nor does he like paying for things in general. He will happily kill a tax collector.
Excellence withers without an adversary.
Weapons:
Shield: A reinforced diamond heater shield, its edges are embellished with sharpened rows of metal studs. It lacks decoration but clearly has gone through many battles as shown by the numerous nicks and cuts.
Sword: The blade itself is fairly simple. No markings can be found, the blade needs no decorations, it only needs to be strong and sharp.
Lance: A simple lance specialised for jousting however has been adapted to iron to make it last longer.
Clothing/Armour: This set of armour has a rounded helm with a rounded, v-shaped opening leaving the eyes exposed. The upper legs are covered by a skirt of several layered metal sheets reaching just below the groin. The lower legs are protected by greaves which are made of simple plates. The armour isn't decorated intricately other that the centre which holds random patterns. Under that, he wears thick heavy chain mail.
Powers: Aquarius has no powers.
A man without fear is a man without a friend.
Appearance: Aquarius rarely takes off his helmet let alone his armour. He does to do maintenance on it and himself, but other than that its almost impossible to catch him without it. He's tall at 6'3" and muscular without much fat. His skin is pale, mostly due to lack of sun on it. His eyes are deep green. Aquarius has brown hair that curls and bounces. He's known to be attractive- a rich, noble look to him. His face has a few scars dotted around and tends to be cake in dirt or ash.
