history ;;

Kiefer was born the second son and third child of House Rowan. Growing up, he and his brothers were rather competitive in all things: their parents affection, strength, and their differing opinions. For the most part they got along as children; working together to meet goals and maintain the family's expectations.

Like most of his household, he looked up to his older brother, Bryon. The two got along, though they often got into disagreements concerning their father's words. Kiefer was very close with his aunt Adelaide, who was like a sister to him, and he is close with his youngest sister Martha as well. He does not get along well with his brother Glenn at all, and Dillon isn't much better. He was always fairly protective of his other sisters, Constance and Chloe, though they didn't seem to care for it very much.

From a young age, Kiefer learned that he was rather proficient with swordfighting, and it became his preferred weapon of choice, though his father wished for him to learn other weapons as well, to make him more well-rounded so he would not be at a disadvantage during battles. Training was always a very important part of his life. From a young age he was expected to train (and train), study (and study) and most importantly, distrust Nallen. (Because they were Nallen). Not that the intensity made life difficult. Rowan’s knights and lordlings alike were very serious about their military training, some of which Lord Morgan had prepared himself, so to not have a military mindset in that household (as a male) would have been rather unusual.

He grew up finding the feud between the families to be very tiring, and becomes rather irritated whenever the two families meet, scuffle and bicker. He knows that the two families will never get along, though he'd at least hope that they would come to a more stable truce in the future. Whenever he attempted to voice this opinion to his father, it wasn't taken seriously; though the two often got into various discussions which turned into arguments from minor things to major issues; from Nallen, to suggestions to improving the training regime, his fighting style, his patrol schedules, to general household matters.

As he reached his late teens, they began to send him out with different groups of knights to rout out bandits terrorizing the countryside. Byron was often sent to scout near the border they shared with Nallen, while Kiefer's patrols were usually towards Allba. Things went well until his nineteenth year, when his older brother was supposedly mortally wounded on one of his patrols. He was not present at the time, as he was away on his own patrols, and it was some days afterwards that word had gotten to him. The days and weeks following were a bit of a blur to him; suddenly he was put into a place that he never expected to be. And of course, despite his family's protests, Byron had not yet been married at the time, leaving them no other option but to pass the heir title onto him.

Many were devastated by Byron's death; as he has been a promising young lord. With his brother gone, this left Kiefer as the heir; a position he wasn't quite comfortable with. While he had been trained in a way that would leave him capable of filling his brother's shoes, and the people loved him as much as they had loved his brother, he was left a bit cold by the entire experience.

He still challenges himself daily, and often is out with the knights purging bandits from Dentorian countrysides, when his family allows it. Mostly they insist on him remaining closer to home considering his status. Otherwise, he has become known to be one as of the greater swordsmen in Rowan among his peers and his people. Recently he married Lady Nerida of Allba, whom he had been courting (originally she was supposed to be a wife for Byron, until other... situations occurred) and they actually do have a fairly compatable relationship. He tends to be calmer and relaxed when she is around.

His wife has very recently given birth, however due to certain circumstances involving a massive amount of bandits appearing and tormenting the Dentorian countryside, he was unable to be present.

personality ;;

Before his brother's death, Kiefer was fairly open; it was easy to tell that he had a gentle heart, despite that the family was very militant in nature. He was always very focused and driven, and responsible about his duties, though he also knew how to have fun as well. In fact his slightly jovial moments were quite a shock to some, until they became used to it. Naturally once the title of heir was thrust onto him, he began to change.

He became more distant where he was once open and smiling, and even though he usually was free with his opinions, he began to keep to himself more, becoming a better listener and observer, even though he still is quite frustrated with his family's situation. He thinks that tact is the better part of valor, though his siblings seem determined to disagree with him.

Unlike most of his siblings, Kiefer usually does his best to remain... tactful, and closed, when dealing with certain matters.

appearance ;;

Kiefer is fairly tall, as to be expected for a noble, over six feet in height. His build is on the leaner side of average. Not light, but enough to be agile at his growing age. Like his siblings, his hair was blond when he was younger, but it gradually settled into a deep shade of red, like his mother's. It's not long or very short, falling in an artful disarray around his head. His eyes are piercing and dark brown in color.
