<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/jUqUgLA.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Kreios Windstrider<br/><br/><strong>Race:</strong>Nord/Werewolf<br/><br/><strong>Age:</strong>27<br/><br/><strong>Physical Details/Short history:</strong>Kreios is a tall Nord warrior, standing well around 6'3 when not in footwear. His arms have the powerful lean build of a swordsman, yet his chest and body have been honed from the years he spent wearing heavy armor. His body is crisscrossed in scars, though the most prominent of these runs along his cheek; the reminder of his youthful participation during the forsworn resurgence. His blue eyes are often noted to have strange yellow flecks around the irises, hinting more at his acceptance into the circle for those that know the truth about such things.<br/><br/>Kreios began life as an orphan on the streets of Whiterun. Knowing nothing of who his parents were, and often finding survival to be more important, he began learning skills unfit for an honorable warrior. This all changed on the night he met Alga, the daughter of Aela. She was a troublesome lass, and had managed to get herself into more then a bit of a pinch. He helped her out, using his knowledge of the streets to get her to safely back to Jorrvaskr. His attempted heroism wasn't well met at first, but with Alga favoring him, he soon found himself at home with the companions.<br/><br/>Kreios joined their ranks more officially at the age of sixteen, and his tests came in the forsworn resurgence. It was a hopeless battle with their fewer numbers and little support, but the companions did what they could on the coin Ulfric offered. In just two years he manged to start making a huge difference in the battles thanks to the call of the dragonborn, and brought their first victory in the skirmish that plagued their borders. Shortly thereafter his efforts were celebrated by the Companions and he was allowed to join the ranks of the circle at a young age. This made his later battles in the skirmish far more effective, but nearing the end disaster struck; and he lost Alga when the confusion of the blades and Ulfric's soldiers came into the mix.<br/><br/>Kreios was devastated by the loss, and despite the support of his fellows, he retreated High Hrothgar to find his peace with the incident. His skill with The Voice was furthered under their tutelage, and it seemed the companion would never see the field of battle again. When word of the civil unrest found it's way up the seven thousand steps, however, he could not ignore the call. He had a stake in this as well, if not as a warrior then for the sake of Alga's memory. He ventured down then, rekindling with the companions. Despite everything he questions the Harbinger's wants to choose a side so swiftly, and secretly wonders if perhaps his aged wisdom is catching up with him.<br/><br/><strong>Core Combat Skills*:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li type="disc"> Two Handed</li><li type="disc">Thu'ums</li><li type="disc">Heavy Armor</li><li type="disc"> Unarmed</li></ul><br/><strong>Core Supplementary Skills:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li type="disc">Thu'ums</li><li type="disc">Sneak</li><li type="disc">Restoration</li><li type="disc">Speech</li></ul><br/><strong>Secondary Skills:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li type="disc"> Pickpocket</li><li type="disc"> Smithing</li><li type="disc"> Alchemy</li></ul><br/><strong>Starting Equipment:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li type="disc"> Nord Hero Greatsword</li><li type="disc"> Ancient Nord Armor</li><li type="disc"> 53 septims (Yeah, his purse is light after years spent as a monk)</li><li type="disc"> Minor Smithing gear</li><li type="disc"> Lots of Nordic Mead</li></ul><br/><br/><strong>Faction Affiliations:</strong>Companions (Circle Member), Undecided on the Heir's.
