7) Character Personal History:
Kit Kidwell was born the fourth child of Ser Alwys Kidwell, younger brother of Lord Gabriel Kidwell. When Kit was born, House Kidwell was just that--a house with little lands and perhaps a dozen retainers. With time, however, the house grew and Kit was sent to foster with Lord Sylas Caron- where he was to receive a military education. Kit fell for Lord Caron's daughter, and though his infatuation for her was short-lived, they carried a great friendship which in turn created a stronger bond between Sylas and Kit. The Songlord's daughter married early and died in childbirth...this shattered Kit, who's platonic love for the Songlord's daughter led to a dramatic change in character. He became extremely devoted to swordplay and technique, and devoted all his time to it.
He became even more shy and reclusive than he used to be, but despite this he enterred a tourney in honor of the Songlord's daughter. In this tourney he bested Lord Osgrey in the melee, whereupon Kit was knighted immediately.
He has fought and killed many individuals, including two Kings, two Kingsguardsmen, his uncle, and dozens others. Before he went into hiding he had only a small number of friends: Sylas Caron, "Black" Ben Tollett, Ager Gaunt, and Rhodri Royce. The things that matter most to him now are his wife Rhae, and his two children. His love for and from Rhae is the driving force in his life.
For the past three years, Kit has disguised himself as a knight named Ser Junas Rhysling in a small village north just south of the Twins. Locally he has prospered as a farmer and weapons trainer.
Kit has also been busy raising his young family over the past few years. His young son is named Gabriel (after the uncle he regretfully slew), and his daughter is named Hara.
Kit's protegee is Damien Vance, the third son of Lord Vance of Wayfarer's Rest- a youth who at 17 sought shelter north of Wayfarer's Rest from his abusive drunkard of a father.
8) Character Physical Description:
Kit is just under 6 feet, by a couple inches or so. His face and appearance were never too important but he could be considered attractive by some standards. His hair has been dyed darker, and it falls a few inches past his shoulders. Sometimes it is worn back in a tail. In the years since he has been in hiding he has let his hair grow.
9) Character Reputation:
Being a kingslayer and kinslayer, Ser Kit was regarded as the most notorious knight in the realm. Despite his reasonings, people hold their own opinions (generally viewing him as a horrible man) and are often quick to make judgments of his character.
Regardless of this, Ser Kit is regarded as the greatest swordsman in the realm and owns 'Dark Sister', the Valyrian steel sword which he took from a treasury chest in King's Landing.
After Kit met his wife, Rhae, rumours grew that he was a changed man. He started to become a sort of recluse and kept himself out of the public's eye most of the time.
