Appearance

Errant Tiger is a young but solidly built man, standing at a bit over six feet tall, with a body honed and trained by military life. His hair is a dark brown, cut short but messy, with some threads of dark green running through it, one of the signs of his Exaltation. Brown eyes typical of his Realm heritage look out from under random strands and locks of hair. His skin, lightly tanned from often being on patrol or guard duty, is otherwise fair and bears little deviation from the norm. He typically wears a dark cloak over his armor when on duty.

History

Errant Tiger is just one of the many children to be born raised in Scarlet Haven since it was cut off from Creation proper. He went through life as most of those who bore lineage from the few Dragon-Blooded leaders, training for his eventual posting in the armed forces, with an eye toward his possible drawing of the Second Breath. Eventually he did indeed Exalt, becoming one of the Children of Sextes Jylis. His training was increased as he gained new duties as being one of the Dragon-Blooded, which he took to with admirable skill, though not quite an equal amount of enthusiasm. Life progressed in Scarlet Haven with an almost routine pacing for him: drilling, patrolling, studying, and at the end of the day relaxing as best one could. The day that has the most importance to Errant Tiger was also what could be said to be the worst day of his life. While on patrol under the command of a senior captain, there was a brief but strong fluxuation of the Wyld near them that engulphed the patrol. Drawn into the Wyld, the soldiers were soon attacked by a group of passing creatures, including a great behemoth that slew most of the patrol. While Errant Tiger and several others were able to escape back into the safety of the Reality Engine's influence, the carnage and memory of the injuries he suffered has left him shaken ever since.
Due to an increased vigilence and dedication since this event, Errant Tiger has been given command of his own patrol scale. While not the most influential or charismatic of leaders, he is admired by some for his desire to find ways to step up the defence of Scarlet Haven from the chaotic forces all around them.
