Character Spotlight: Marshal Lukas Xaver

I wanted to make a villain post out of this one, but I think his psychology
is complex enough to make him just a character, as he isn't the main villain (I'm
not even sure there will be a main villain though I have one now).

Name: Lukas Xaver
Age: 51
Appearance: Ginger hair, grey hairs scattered over it. Heavy built, muscular, an scar
covering his left eye.
Weapon of choice: Guardiansword
Talents: Strategist, weapon expert, leadership
Occupation: Marshal of the Askarin Guard
Hometown: Askarin.
History:
Born during the reign of the Duke Randolph. Lukas' father was a blacksmith, his mother was Colonel in service of the Guard. His mother Landel Verta soon became a symbol for many young women. His father, Lexan Xaver was concidered a weakling, someone that couldn't handle his wife. At the academy this idea also filled the head of the young Lukas.

He soon joined the Guard to prove to his dad not all men are weak, when his mother was killed during a skirmish with some rebel mages his father and him alienated from eachother. Lukas was now a Sergeant and guiding a young Corporal called Trevor. They became friends and then the civil war came. During the attack on Askarin a mage tried to burn the eyes of Xaver, this resulted in a horrid scar covering his left eye. After this attack he fled from the battlefield and hid. This was leaked in the complete guard and for years Xaver was seen as a coward, the Marshal had died during this attack and due to his status of a coward it was Trevor who became the new Marshal. At the day of his retirement, a very soon retirement Xaver was appointed his succesor. He had a hard time coping with the idea of being second. When Toren Iscaroth, son of Trevor became Sergeant way too soon he had it very difficult to hide his emotions.

Xaver is married with Margret Melase and they have a daughter Annie, Annie is very popular with young men but Lukas protects her like a treasure. Trevor's idea to let Annie marry Toren made him furious.
