Name – Henric Strumguard
Title – The Grey Baron
Alignment – Chaotic Neutral, often sliding on evil (more explained in history)
Race – Human Abomination (A human that has been willingly possessed by an other wordly creature, more explained in history)
Gender – Male
Age – Human Age: 32 Demonic Host Age: over 2000 years old.
Appearance – Standing at 6ft 1in tall and rather slender, little else is known about the Grey Baron for he never removes his winged helmet, however through the visor the glow of the demonic taint within him veils his normal eye hue in a radiant green, which glows more intense the more the Grey Baron lends himself to his demonic host.
Attire – See Armor.
Armour – Decked head to toe in a grey finished plate armor that incases his withering and battlescared flesh, the breastplate is emblazoned with a bloodied phoenix, and his helmet is decorated with ornamental wings at either sides similar to that of the phoenix upon the breastplate.
The belt around his waist is also a part of his armor, as it riveted to a chainmail skirt that sits open at the front and drapes down to his knees to absorb slashing attempts that may be aimed at the knee joints of the plate armor, a scabbard is draped from the belt at either side containing his dual swords, and a small harness is fixed to the back of the plate armor for The Baron to place his shield when he is in no need of it.
Personality – The Grey Baron exists for one purpose, to find an opponent that may best him in single combat and set him free of his cursed existence, Despite being an Abomination he does maintain a sense of chivalry and adears to the knights code...
However to goad The Grey Baron or use such things as magic or dirty tricks will only bring forth the terrible wrath of the demon that lurks within....mixed with his training of "mage hunting", he is a formidable and dangerous opponent for even the most foolhardy and stoic, to push your luck with him is a death sentance in itself..
First Impression – Silent and Intimidating, The Grey Baron does not speak very many words, and those that rile the demon must heed with caution as The Possessed Baron can more than back up any insult he throws.
Strength – Due to the demon that lies within the Grey Baron his strength is beyond that of a mere mortal, able to rain down heavy blows and sunder through lesser quality plate armors and chainmail with ease, If the demon has control legend tells of The Grey Baron once splitting the very earth with a strike from his mighty blade.
Speed – The Grey Baron is not the fastest combatant in the world, as the heavy specialised plate armor he wears slows him down, even with the demon in control his running speed would be compared to a mere jog with that of a lighter armored opponent.
Endurance – What The Grey Baron lacks in speed, he makes up for in endurance, he can swing his blade seemingly tirelessly....however the longer The Grey Baron fights for, the more the demons hunger grows and the weaker he becomes as a side effect.
Reflexes – The Grey Baron does not rely on reflexes as his plate armor makes dodging an impossibility, however through the demon he has precognition and can pre-empitate most blows and prepare to block, parry or counter-attack, this precognition requires his utmost concentration upon defending however and can wane his strength very quickly as the demons hunger grows quickly when he is tapping into this talent.
Fighting Style – The Knights code of Chivalry is something The Grey Baron still lives by and he belives in fighting with the utmost honor and respect for his opponents. Bravely he will face his opponent with his blessed sword and shield in hand ready to engage whomever may be brave enough to face him in single combat, As a Trained Temple Knight known as "Templars" he has abilities that are able to dispel and hinder the use of certain arcane magics while allowing him limited use of blessed magic.
However, an opponent that breaks the code of honor by trying to gain the upperhand by goading, fleeing or cheap-shotting will find themselves face to face with the demon that lies within The Grey Baron, his nature becoming unpredictable, bloodlusting and chaotic.
This "demon" prefers all out offense to the Chivalric "Defend and Counter attack" that the Grey Baron would otherwise normally engage in with an honorable opponent and will put aside the shield in favor of the cursed blade the Baron carries to be wielded alongside his drawn blessed blade, wielding the blades with utmost ferocity aiming to inflict collateral damage against those it deems as "Unworthy Fools"

Abilities –
Sword And Shield:
Shield Slam: The Grey Baron Rushes forward and swings out his shield at his opponents head, a successful hit will usually unbalance and even floor an opponent, this does take a bit of endurance to perform as it requires the Baron to push forward quickly, something that is quite difficult in his heavy armor.
Overpower: The Grey Baron begins to throw a ruthless barrage of swings with his shield at his opponent, slamming them in the head with the final blow opening them up to a follow up attack, Due to the Barons Chivalric nature, he will only use this as a counter attack against opponents that attempt to overwealm him, it requires little endurance as he remains mostly static.
Leg Slice: The Grey Baron attempts to inflict damage to his opponents artery by swinging for the legs, this usually comes after successfully parrying an opponents attack as its a perfect opportunity to strike an exposed area.
Sundering Blow: The Grey Baron swing his sword for a weak joint in his opponents armor, aiming to create an exposed weakness, this is somewhat a slow and deliberate swing as it requires precision to create the exposure and requires a fair amount of endurance to keep the concentration to see the blow through.
Defensive Concentration: The Grey Baron begins to concentrate on defending going into a precognitive state of mind, tapping into the demons power to assist him in deflecting blows, The Grey Baron will use a LOT of endurance in this state and will be forced into his Chaotic State after a short amount of time.
Honorable Death: The Grey Baron unleashes a barrage of precise and deliberate strikes with both sword and shield, First he traps his opponents sword-arm with his shield and strikes them in the face with the pommel of his sword to stagger them, still keeping the arm held with the shield, he twists round and plunges his sword backwards in an attempt to impale his opponent, before unsheathing his second sword and beheading his defeated opponent This will only occur upon defeated opponents that wish to accept there fates so it will be rare.
Dual Wield:
Dervish: with both swords held outward, The Possessed Grey Baron begins to spin rapidly in a whirlwind of steel, to get caught in the storm of steel is very painful indeed, however The Baron has no sense of direction while spinning and endurance drains down quickly the longer the spin is maintained.
Earth Splitter: The demonicly enhanced strength of the Grey Baron allows him to crash both swords downward causing the earth to split and break open spewing out rocks and volcanic ash as the split travels, the split is predictable however as the crack travels in a line, Strangely enough this doesnt take much endurance due to the demonically enhanced strength of the Baron.
Underhanded tactics: The Possessed Grey Baron parries with both swords and raises his opponents weapon upwards while clinching them in a show of might before low-blowing his opponent and casting them aside, takes a bit of endurance to use.
Berserking: The Possessed Grey Baron flies into a fit of rage, swinging both swords wildly striking out in every which direction with little care for his own safety, The Baron only enters the Berserking mode when his endurance is very low and the demon has control.
BloodBath: With utter disdain and a need to feed on the lifeforce of the opponent to sustain his own, The Possessed Grey Baron kicks his opponent to there kness and impales them with both swords and raises them into the air, laughing manically as the blood pours from there open wounds, he viscously yanks both blades horizontally splitting his opponent in half, bathing in the blood of the fallen foe.This will only occur upon defeated opponents that wish to accept there fates so it will be rare.
Magic –
Dispel: The Baron attempts to counter a magic attack by dispelling it in flight, this requires concentration and a fair bit of endurance however
Anti-Magic Chant: The Baron begins to chant attempting to dispel any lingering magic effects within the field of play, he is exposed while doing this as he must keep full concentration however.
Dispelling Strike: The Baron utters a few words, placing a blessing upon his next strike that will attempt to break any magic barriers that may be protecting his opponent Only used against foes that tend to persist in using magical barriers.
