Notes
Bastard born, Kenrick is the son of Lady Eliza, the youngest sister of Lord Stagwood, Duc of the Woodlands, and an unknown man*. Sadly, Lady Eliza died in childbirth, but not before pleading with her elder brother to treat her son well. At the time, Lord Stagwood did not have a proper heir - he had several daughters, but no sons - and, as a result, reared Kenrick in such a way that the boy could become his heir should circumstances warrant it. Eventually, Lord Stagwood's second wife bore him a son which removed any chance of the bastard inheriting, a fact many within the duc's circle feared might lead to problems. This is not to be, however, as Kenrick is well aware that being bastard-born means he must make his own way. He considers Lord Stagwood and his children as family and is utterly loyal to them.
Raised as a man-at-arms, Kenrick participated in many small skirmishes from an early age. During one such encounter barely two years ago with a rebellious baron who raised troops to resist paying his taxes, Kenrick encountered a magnificent horse that showed no sign of previous ownership; he rode it back, intending to sell/trade the horse. Horse refused to leave him, & got him in trouble with whomever he tried to pawn him off to. This greatly amused Lord Stagwood who refused to accept the beast as a gift. Kenrick gave up trying to get rid of the horse when no one in Stagwood ranks was willing to even feed the damned thing.
Less than a year before the campaign begins (999 AE), the adventurer Luzar Drakeburn raised a private army and attempted to wrest the crown of Generica from King Jon. Lord Stagwood answered the king's call and Kenrick rode alongside him. At the final battle of Crownsford, while attempting to convey information to Lord Stagwood, Magnus - Kenrick's horse - decided to lead a reckless charge against Kenrick's express orders to the contrary; this charge turned the tide of battle as a group of Royalist cavalry led by a cowardly nobleman saw this charge and thought the order to attack had been given. Afterward, Kenrick would be knighted by King Jon himself, all the while insisting that he had nothing to do with it, and the horse should be the one knighted; he still refers to the horse as "Ser" Magnus (or more often, "His Majesty," when he insists on having things his way.) Ser Magnus still gets him into trouble from time to time.
Now a knight, he sought and received Lord Stagwood's permission to depart Huntsbury to seek out his own path. Now, Ser Kenrick has joined the Adventurer's Guild and is seeking to earn sufficient coin to buy his way into a grand tourney.
* In the original campaign that this character was going to appear in, PC was going to discover that he was the half-brother (bastard-born, of course) to another PC due to their father having been a Man-Whore before he died. It is entirely possible that this could still be the case should another PC be noble born.
