Family: Fever took his parents during a harsh winter, leaving him an orphan.

Background: The young boy was a low born, a peasant among the rats in the sewers. When his parents died, he was only 8 years old when he began to beg or steal. He worked to become a criminal, stealing small items from shops and selling them on the side for lower prices. But after a while, he was soon caught by the guards of town, thrown into a dungeon for his crimes. He spent 5 months staring at the same walls, eating the same maggot filled bread before they finally let him out. But he didnt gain his freedom, as there was a new order from the King that any male fit for war must become a soldier... so out of the frying pan and into the fire.

He trained for 4 years, learning from the toughest veterans to kill and disable his enemies. once he was trained, he was given a sword and armor, then sent right into the infantry unit to fight the first battle.... But the odds of anyone going home was slim, as his side had about 500 troops, the enemy had 2000.... It was a tough fight, as his side used the terrain to their advantage, letting the enemies flow into a trap. but there was enough blood on either side, causing Rowans sword to be dripping... While his comrades started running, screaming for mercy, Rowan kept fighting. he killed 40 men, even being the last few of his unit be alive.... from that day, he was named a Knight. Rowan wasnt eager for the title, as it could lead to him being forced into politics. but he took it anyway as it was better pay, and he would lead the war his own way if allowed. He was no longer the thief and beggar of his past, he was Sir Rowan of House Blackwell
