Petyr of the Lodge

Petyr was the captain of the guard at the Lodge under the service of House Hilwood. His father is the master-at-arms of the Lodge, Otto.

Appearance and Character
Petyr was always clean shaven, with a military bearing, and very serious. A hulking figure seen as intimidating by everyone, except for children and dogs who all were inexplicably drawn to Petyr. A large powerful build and, a square jaw made Petyr easy to pick out of a crowd.

History
Petyr is the son of Otto, the Hilwood master-at-arms and confidant of lord Hilwood. Otto impressed upon the boy from an early age that devotion to duty and fierce loyalty had raised a simple woodcutters son to be the trusted companion of a noble lord. Growing up Petyr was big and strong, easily a match for boys several years his senior. This and his father's position made the lad a favorite of the lord and lady who treated him almost like family. Which, in turn, only served to reinforce his fathers teaching. When he was old enough Petyr wanted to join the Hilwood family guard but, his father wouldn't hear of it. Otto had made the rule which said a man must prove himself in service with the garrison before he'd be considered for a spot in the guards and he said it applied to his son just as any other. It didn't take long however, for the young man to distinguish himself among the garrison and earn his chance to join the Guard. Petyr's size and great strength were a natural fit to the Hilwood Guards' signature longaxe and his ability has grown somewhat legendary among the folk of the Kingswood.

The Kingswood Brotherhood
Petyr was among those captured by the Kingswood Brotherhood while accompanying Lady Talea back to the Lodge. He was tortured and castrated by the Smiling Knight.

Despite his injuries, he, Black Ben and Theomar fled back to the Lodge. Unfortunately, Petyr's mule tripped during the chase and Petyr was thrown from his horse. Petyr was killed by the Smiling Knight after taking many wounds by his pursuers.

Petyr was given a heroes' funeral by Lord Garth Hilwood and his remains were laid to rest in the Lodge's ancient crypts alongside the noble family itself.
