Sir Benedict Weatherby, KR

Benedict Weatherby is a seasoned and battle-hardened warrior who serves as the personal bodyguard of Viscountess Loretta D'Archangel, a position he takes with unyielding loyalty and quiet resolve. At 44 years old, his years in service have left their mark—his once-young face now shows the wear of countless battles, with a few scars etched into his weathered skin. His hair, once a deep brown, has begun to take on streaks of salt-and-pepper, much like his demeanor—steady, calm, and resolute under pressure. Known for his tactical mind and unwavering dedication, Benedict has earned the respect of his peers within The Midnight Suns though his quieter nature and preference for solitary tasks often make him stand apart from others in the guard. His bond with his hawk, a loyal and vigilant companion, is well-known among those close to Loretta, with the bird often perched near him, ready to spring into action when called upon.   Despite his stoic and composed exterior, Benedict is fiercely protective of Loretta, viewing his role as more than just a duty—he considers it an honor to safeguard her life. His expertise lies not only in hand-to-hand combat but in the strategies of surviving the harshest environments, using the natural world to his advantage. His affinity for the wild has shaped him into a guardian who can read the land and its dangers with a precision that others might miss. His loyalty is as much to the safety of the kingdom as it is to the Lady he serves, making him a steady and reliable pillar in times of unrest. Through his years of service, Benedict has cultivated a deep sense of duty, knowing that his every action is part of a larger chain that helps keep the realm safe.
