Lionel Donmeir - Squire of Justice

A boy with only sixteen winters to his unmarred skin, Lionel’s family were one of the founding clans of Greypeak, though their prestige has greatly waned since those days.Groomed for knighthood from a young age, Lionel began as Jeanne du Lac’s squire three months ago, after her previous one perished during the assault on Castle Beaufax. Jeanne hand-picked Lionel himself after several noble families presented their candidates to her. In Lionel, she felt not only grit and determination, but a pull: like an invisible thread laid by Erdrydion called her to chose him. He has so far proven himself: tirelessly serving and training with her in the three months since his appointment. Whilst his own penchant for combat is far from Jeanne’s he shows a remarkable ability for quick thinking and problem solving befitting of a future leader. In Lionel, Jeanne does not just see a squire, but a future prodigy in the making, one who may one day fight alongside her as an equal for Erdydion’s favour. For Lionel, his toughest challenge lays ahead. Far from his boreal homeland of Greypeak, he accompanies Jeanne du Lac as she joins a large expeditionary force of the Church into the desert of Sudd Tohst. Though it is winter, the heat is already beginning to weigh upon him. Tasked with holding the banner, he will ensure that he does not falter, no matter how great a burden the desert bears upon him.
