Tristifer Terrace

Ser Tristifer Terrace is a household knight to King Daeron III and head of the main branch of House Terrace.

Appearance and Character
Middle-aged and with a face lined from years of stress, Tristifer Terrace remains near as slender now as he was in the days of his youth; his head is a mop of thick, curly light brown hair just starting to show streaks of gray in places, and his eyes a matching shade of brown. His nose shows signs of having been broken at least twice, and he bears a faded scar on the back of his left leg - a token from the famed battle at the Trident - and a much more recent one running across his entire front side, which is still healing somewhat. Although he kept himself clean-shaven for much of his life, of late he has forgone the razor to grow out his facial hair, the better to distinguish himself from his twin brother.

When it comes to his personality, Ser Tristifer is often quiet, and tends toward obedience and honor, the latter taking precedence over the former; he has some self-confidence issues which cause him to be desirous of proving his worth to his superiors. He is not known to suffer insult real or perceived done to his family, the memory of extinct House Darry, or to the blood of the dragon; he dotes a great deal on his daughter and only child, and is fiercely protective almost to a fault when matters concern her. He is oft impulsive and quick to anger, and possesses a deep loathing for pillage, plunder, rapine, and other unknightly deeds.
