Can often be seen in the Prancing Pony, either walking or riding the streets of Bree and it's surrounding countryside on most days as he is restless at the best of times. The man prefers to keep a low profile and not much is known about him but he is known to have an extremely volatile nature, a stubbornly proud man and he is not all too tolerant and this is obvious, his preference being his own company. He is about as rough as they come, crass and blunt in manner and way of speaking although his voice is commanding of respect, despite coming across as uneducated due to his heavy accent. He appears to be quite content supping ale and smoking pipe-weed in the corner of the Pony, only socialising with a select few. Or not. Siward clearly has not adjusted well to life in Bree and clearly doesn't enjoy being there, the contempt in his gaze evident when looking upon an Elf, or say, a Hobbit, being not a sight familiar to him the majority of his life. He has a world weary air and bears many scars, he can be friendly when he wants to be yet a lot of the time is quite unfriendly and anti-social, he is ruthlessly harsh with those who cross him and loves a fight. He is certainly a violent man and doesn't buy into verbal diplomacy all too much, preferring settling his problems with a fist, or with a blade to talking through his problems. One thing though is clear, he is a loving husband and he loves his wife more than anything on the face of Middle-Earth and is fiercely protective of her and his friends, those he cares about. He has the stride of a soldier and is a highly skilled swordsman and has significant ability with other weapons, ferocious and berserker-like in a conflict or battle situation. Briefly touching on his past: Born 2 March, 2985 T.A. in Edoras, Rohan to a family of reputed career soldiers. Well-known in the city of Edoras and it's surrounding villages for his womanising antics, heavy drinking and aggressive tendencies, respected, feared and derided in almost equal measure. Captained a small yet hardy Éored of fighters nevertheless having took over from his father, untill a recent tragedy... Is this intimidating man good at heart, or is he as his appearance would suggest?
