<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/ScGSnC0.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Nathos "The Bear" Clegane (http://www.rpgcrossing.com/profiler/view.php?id=46043)<br/><strong>Class:</strong>Fighter<br/><strong>Age:</strong>32<br/><strong>Biography:</strong><br/><br/>A not-so-distant cousin of the more famous Cleganes, Nathos lacks one cousin's size and the other's viciousness. However, he makes up for both his with wider build, ferocity, and propensity to lose himself in combat and wrestle men to the ground, ripping joints out of place and dislocating limbs. The men that fight with him prefer his method to that of his cousins, since they are less likely to be hurt by collateral damage, though this method of fighting is often seen as un-knightly and overly dangerous, coming at armed men with your bare hands.<br/><br/>Not an overly cunning boy, nor one whose tongue was as silvered as some of the other nobles, Nathos grew up being shaped as a tool to be wielded rather than a leader of men. He was taught the knight's code and of chivalry, but the lessons rarely stuck with the boy who had a cruel streak, and who would often take his frustrations out on the weaker boys in the castle, forcing them into submission. Their screams would carry out through his parents' keep, but his parents always put it off to "boys being boys".<br/><br/>Nathos gained his nickname, "The Bear" when in his teens he wrestle a captive bear that had been weakened from starvation and thirst. Still, the animal was ferocious and tried to tear the man apart, yet Nathos succeeded in subduing it and choked it to death with little more than his hands, grasping and tearing for leverage against the mighty beast. There his reputation began, and after that he was often invited to King's Landing to serve as King Robert's champion when duels were needed.<br/><br/>Recently he has been called back to his parents' keep when they grew ill, and after their death took to wandering the roads and picking fights with lone folk who would rarely be missed but were too big for their britches. His dark temper that flares unexpectedly often gets him in trouble, but his size and ferocity intimidates those who would trouble him and forces them to think twice lest they anger the Bear.
