A Knight Errant
Tristane's duty as a Knight of St. Pelin is to travel High Rock and serve for short stints of time with various lords of the realm. His primary role is that of a monster hunter; second to it, he ensures the land is free of brigands.
Woes of War
Tristane's first battle was as a squire during Ranser's war. At the age of fifteen he accompanied Sir Rolland Guiles who later died in the same battle. It was Guiles' wish that Tristane be knighted for his bravery. Tristane is still haunted by this bloody affair and suffers nightmares from it.
A Man of Brutal Honor
Tristane's view on violence is that it is a tool to bend the compliance of others. As such, he holds a warped sense of duty and honor at the point of a sword. Should someone prove themselves to be dishonorable or even unlawful, Tristane will set them right with a flash of white gleaming steel.
