Jilus Mormont

Background
Jilus, born into House Mormont nearly 10 years after his brother, and Lord of Bear Island - Lord Jensur Mormont, hasn't seen quite as much war as his older brother, but war he has seen. In his 19 years he has witnessed three major wildling raids on the island. It was during the second, when Jilus was around 14 that he watched his father die to a group of wildling raiders. Jilus was completely helpless, useless, as he watched his older brother pick up their fathers sword - Longclaw, and thrusted it through the wildlings skull. The Mormonts and their allies The Cleganes drove the wildlings out of the island, protecting the rest of the islanders. That moment changed Jilus, he never wanted to feel what he felt that day ever again, the feeling of weakness.. and so he trained. Every day, hours at a time for years.

Now 19 years of age, Jilus has turned into a man he hopes his father would be proud of , standing at around 6'2, he has a muscular build that years of training with a two handed weapon and heavy plate armour have gifted him. Jilus toned his body towards Strength, endurance, and agility, allowing him to move around in that heavy armour without much trouble. The result of this way of training, however, means he lacks the ability to use a shield, and has terrible hand to hand combat.

His years of tough training and discipline under his brother Jensur has turned him into a ruthless warrior, he takes after his brothers own mindset while on the battlefield, cold, and without a second thought. He also studied under Bear Islands Maester, where he learned how to read, write, learned the geography of Westeros, learned about all the different houses, their mottos, sigils, and allegiances. Many life lessons were learned under the Maesters teachings, and Jilus prides himself on being an intelligent man.

Jilus is usually seen wearing his full suit of plate armour, armour which took him his whole life to aquire, working since his teenage years to acquire the wealth to pay the Mormont blacksmiths. His main goal with the armour was to look as intimidating as possible. His horned helmet helps with that. The chest, arms and legs having only chainmail under the plate, Jilus decided to ditch the traditional boiled leather under his plate to help with flexibility, allowing him to move a bit easier. On the chestplate is the sigil of house Mormont. The colour scheme he picked also representing his house - minus the green pine colour. He replaced that with red, for a more striking look. The blacksmiths who smithed the armour done so in a way that the armour looks less like plate, and more like wood. Jilus requested this because he felt it represented his house more than shining plate.

His weapon - Beartooth, isn't made from Valyrian steel like his brothers sword "Longclaw", though it is still a formidable blade. The double edged blade is around 45 inches in length, 5 inches thick from the top of the blade, and around 3 and a half closer to the bottom. The hilt is the shape of a cruciform, the Mormont house sigil in the middle, with bear claws on either side. The pommel being a black bears head, bearing his teeth.

When not wearing his armour, medium length white hair is revealed, along with icey coloured blue eyes. His face is fairly skinny, with defined cheekbones and chin, which he chooses to be kept cleanly shaved along with the rest of his face. His voice is deep and gritty due to years of growing up in the North, picking up on how the people around him talked.


Personality
Like his brother, Jilus is known for being a brutal warrior on the battlefield, swinging Beartooth around in his intimidating plate armour strikes fear into the boldest of men, and also the men who are allied with him, which makes it easier for them to command. Jilus thinks fear is what keeps a man alive, and should be in the hearts of all men.
When not on the battlefield, he is fairly laid back, approachable, friendly, and enjoys making jokes and seeing people laugh.
Some of the Mormont men often make jokes about him having a second personality, being so different off the battlefield.

Jilus is a protective man, over his family, his friends, and also the houses that Mormont is bannermen to.
Being of the North, he is a religious man who worships the Old Gods, and takes it very seriously, though he is not a zealot.

Although a ruthless warrior on the battlefield, he is also a formidable Commander and Battle strategist, often being called on by his brother and his men to help out with oncoming battles, or the defence of the island.

Trivia
  • Has striking snow coloured hair
  • Wields a massive two handed weapon
  • Usually found honing his sword skills, or passed out drunk in the tavern with the Mormont guards
  • Heir to Bear island

Just removing hand to hand and shield use doesn't make it ok to put everything else to 5. The stats are irrelevant, anyway.

I just removed the statistics part, then.
