Description
He has the classic handsome look with stormy blue eyes and a thick ginger brow that matches the head of hair with its small waves. Often it is pulled back and styled out of his face but when down it falls past his chin to his shoulders. A thick curling beard and mustache that is kept somewhat short. His nose has a bit of a bend in it - likely broken in his youth. His skin is sunkissed, ruddy and sea worn but that adds to the open charm he presents along with his cheeky smile.
Biography
House Redwyne
"Everything We Know is Everything You Taste."
Born the second son, by mere minutes, to the Head of House of Redwyne (b.277)Lord Horas Redwyne and Lady Torrence. Ruslan received all the riches his brother did before him. But he was never quite settled or satisfied even in his youthful days. It gave him a rather interesting reputation as a risk taker and it got him into any number of challenges - most of which he won.
He struggled to prove himself, to find a place with his sibling. He needed a place that was his own. His Uncle, one of the great Captain's of the Redwyne Fleet took him on to try to curb his destructive path. It was through his Uncle that he learned to channel his unfocused passion and energy. To the sea.
His first and last mistress, the sea has grown to be part of him, the brine running thick in his veins.
The sailing may have tempered him but he's a dashing rake when he comes to land and has stolen many hearts and has attempted to swindle more than a few kisses from noblewoman and smallfolk alike. Devilishly intent on seeing to raising blushes to women's cheeks he is well spoken and likes to bandy the compliments about with the young women.
Due to his work with the Redwyne Fleet the Hightowers appointed him a ship within the Oldtown Fleet with the ship named the Vagabond. Fitting really.
