Type: Blade Master

Armand Delfrey is a Blade Master from the southern lands, deep in the Byzantine Empire, past the capital, from nowadays Turkey.  His fater was a weaponsmith, and his mother a simple house mistress.  He learned basic knowledge from his mother, poor familys not being able to attend school, but parents often passed down knowledge in storys, tales, and lessons to their children.

Armand showed a great skill with weapons at an early age when huting with his father for their meat, and was noticed by a Blade Master named Teradul Freyane, who saw the youths natural ability.  He was taken under his tutelage, leaving his parents at their meager farm, and studied the arts of the sword for nearly twelve years.  When he left the small school at the age of twenty-five, he traveled north, into the Holy Roman territories.

Being his heritage, he is often shunned and looked down upon by nearly everyone in Europe, but those that go past the skin, learn he is a trusted friend who never turns his back on his allys, often fighting nearly to death to save any of them.  He does not use a shield, as a Blade Master uses the techniquies of parrying to block weapons, which gives him a decided disadvantage against users of arrows and slings.
