Taibalte Blackspeare

Taibalte Blackspeare is the second son of High-Lord Myre Blackspeare and High-Lady Lyann Blackspeare (Née Norby), being younger than Yaron and Cederik and older than Kevān. He is a gifted swordsman and knight, it is because of this that he was allowed to join the Royal Legion at the young age of seventeen, and became High-Commander three years after that. He is very close with King Tysopher and squired for him during The Obsidian War, and ever since has become very close acquaintances with him.

Appearance and Character
Very much like all Blackspeare's Taibalte is handsome, tall and broad, and is the tallest out of his brothers standing at around 6'2". He is well muscled and bares many scars as he is a battle-hardened warrior, he has an especially large scar across his chest which he received from a Tribal Chieftain. He is described as a maidens delight and has a very warm and charming smile. Instead of wearing fine silks and leathers like a normal noble Taibalte prefers to wear the Rivoc armour of Royal Legion, along with the long white cloak that accompanies it, but in order to represent his house he has Great-Falcon feathers embroidered along the top of the cloak.

Unlike the rest of his family Taibalte frequently whores and has many bastard children with various prostitutes and even noble women. He is a born-warrior, gifted with a blade and has little or no interest in court-intrigues or politics, in his eyes he belongs on the field or in a brothel and rarely ever sleeps in his chambers in the Legion-Tower at Aldsea. It is because of this that he often competes in Tourneys and the odd gladiator fight.

Early Life
Taibalte is the third son born to High-Lord Myre Blackspeare and High-Lady Lyann Blackspeare (Née Norby), he was born on the 37th of Frostover 483 NE at Westerforte as his father was not yet the High-Lord of The Rivoc Isles. He is the younger brother of Yaron and Cederik and the older brother of Kevān. He is very close with all of his brothers, sharing the same interest in swordsmanship with his two older brothers and the fascination with magic with his younger brother. However unlike the rest of his brothers Taibalte is considered a little less honourable, having lost his virtue before having become a man legally and before marriage. Supposedly he lost his virtue at the age of 13 to a maid at Falconsreach named Tyona who was ten years older, she became his mistress for the next three years until she became pregnant. When his father found out about this he sent her away to Ljonforte, this might be the reason why he spent a lot of time in Ljonforte.

The Obsidian War
When his father struck a deal with Tysopher Goodyere and his brother married Kristel, part of his fathers arrangement was that Taibalte would squire for the future-king Tysopher. Being only fifteen at the time that his father made the deal with Lord Goodyere he was not ready to fight as a knight yet and so he did his duty as a loyal squire for Tysopher. He Participated in a lot of the fighting and once saved Tysopher's life at the Battle of The Great Fortaine, it was after that he had saved his life that he was knighted, even though he was still fifteen.
