Character History:
Donal was born to a impoverished knightly house, the Beakes, sworn to the Charltons of the Mistlewood. His father was a drunkard and depleted what coin remained to the family name with a constant secession of first round losses in local tournaments. He was also a lecher prone to frequenting houses of ill repute, and it was likely there he contracted the sickness that led to his untimely demise when Donal was but twelve years of age. Donal's longstanding resentment of prostitutes no doubt has its origin in his father's dalliances and the subsequent consequences. With Donal's family in deep debt to house Charlton already, the Charltons refused his mother a loan. With no man of means willing to marry her and take on the family's debt, Donal's mother was forced to sell what land remained to their name for a pittance and marshal her children for a journey south to join her family in lord Harroway's town, where her father operated a relatively successfully carpentry business.
The Charltons however received word of the transaction, and sent knights to collect on the debts owed to them before the destitute family left. Donal's mother was compelled to hand over all her coin, which did not come close to amending the deficit. Coinless, the family made their way on foot south. Fortunately Donal's brother was something of an adept huntsman, skilled enough at least to occasionally kill a rabbit in to stave off starvation, and it was in accompanying him that Donal learned the basics of hunting, skills he was never given the opportunity to fully develop. On reaching Lord Harroway's town, the boys were put to work earning their keep doing basic chores and menial tasks. This work was immensely unsatisfactory to Donal, who was a member of a knightly house, and recognized that such work was beneath him. He proved difficult and quarrelsome, and was subjected to many a beating for refusing instructions or not working adequately hard. Eventually Donal and his brother were able to secure spots in Lord Harroway's guard; their limited proficiency with real weapons earned in their childhood giving them an advantage over the local smallfolk. Here Donal was more mindful of his tongue, since the work was at least martial, but he remained resentful of the low social status the position accorded him and the pittance of a pay. Whereas other guards would spend their coin on the local whores, on drink, or on trying to impress the local girls, Donal devotedly spent no more than he had to to sustain himself. It would take time he knew, but he hoped to eventually save enough to leave the position of servitude he found himself in and be his own man.
This plan was interrupted by the war, which began shortly after Donal's 19th nameday. Donal served capably, loyally, and fought with bravery when called upon to do so but attracted nobody's attention, and lost his brother in battle. He returned home, no better off than he had been before, missing a brother, to find his mother had starved from ruined harvests and his sister had married a local tanner in his absence. This was too much for Donal. The nobles of the Riverlands had denied him his ancestral home, they had denied him the coin that was rightfully his family's, they had never recognized his merit, had poorly rewarded his service, had cost him his brother and his mother, and now his sister, instead of marrying a social equal had been reduced to such a low that a tanner was her only marriage prospect. He had watched smallfolk butchered, raped, and robbed throughout the war, with little done to protect them by the knights and lords, much to his disgust. Donal had always obsessed over becoming a knight and restoring himself to his proper position in the world. He was thus well acquainted with the obligations of knighthood. These men, men who were held to be his superiors, were not true knights or lords. They were leeches, sapping the life from those whose inheritance, whose talent, whose promise they denied. Donal would not serve such men any longer. The smallfolk deserved true knights who would protect them and the Riverlands called for true nobility who held blood higher than gold. Donal knew that it was his calling to be one such man, a calling that had been denied him by the lords and knights of the Riverlands up to that point.
With naught but the coin he had saved over the years and a cheap sword he had bought at his side he left Lord Harroway's town with the goal of seeking out a group of bandits he could turn from senseless injustice to the noble goal of correcting the wrongs he had identified in the world. After a couple weeks of wandering the countryside and depleting most of his coin on food, Donal managed to track down the gang of Lucas Inchfield and joined, confident it would prove a suitable group to advance his agenda with.
