Skills and Attributes

     Dual wielding Practiced in wielding both one-handed swords and lances, Ser Gunter prefers to utilise both of these weapons in combats; with acute skill in using sword and lance, he is unhindered when he sports both of these weapons. Where other men prefer shield and blade, he is apt at defending himself with only his weapons. On horseback, however, he opts for the lance for its range and wide-swinging arcs, charging himself into the throng of battle and shattering armour and shields alike.

     Survival Like all hedge knights, all of Ser Gunter's worldly possessions are on his body at any one time. His armour, his sword and lance, his horse, and any food he is able to forage are all he owns. With no place to call home and with no riches in his pocket, Ser Gunter of Ramsgate has spent his years travelling the Seven Kingdoms learning how to survive in the wilderness. From Dorne to Last Hearth, he has journeyed through blazing heat and freezing winds, which has given him some apt knowledge on how to survive in most environments.

     Armoured Combat With barely any earthly possessions, Ser Gunter's armour is perhaps his most valued item. Always clad in full plate armour, never daring to remove it save to occasionally bathe in streams and rivers, he has become accustom to the burden of its weight, and as such as grown stronger and more dexterous because of it. Where other men would be greatly hindered by the weight of their armour, Ser Gunter wears it like a second skin, moving as quickly as he would in chainmail. This constant burden of weight has also greatly increased his strength and stamina, allowing him to deal greater blows and fight for longer. This, however, only grants him a slight edge against his foes; like all mortal men, he does and will tire.

Overview
     A northern stranger of unknown origins, the people of the realm know him only as Ser Gunter of Ramsgate, though indeed none truly believe that Ramsgate holds his true origin. All that can be said of Ser Gunter is that he is of the north, the wolf pelt that he wears like a half-cloak the only testimony to where his beginnings lie. It is because of this speculation that some have come to know him as the Knight of Winter, a man who brings with him everywhere the cold harshness of the northern wastes of Westeros.
     Ser Gunter journeys the Seven Kingdoms not for riches, nor for fame, nor even for blood and honour. Instead, Ser Gunter traipses the realm in search of love, and to find his very own Queen of Love and Beauty, with whom he hopes to surrender his cold and frozen heart. As a hedge knight, he is plagued by ill-repute and fickle honour, but he does indeed hold to his own strict code of honour: after he swore his vows and earned his spurs, the Knight of Winter upholds them with a strict sense of ethics. He protects the weak and the innocent wherever he might.
     Although never truly seeking renown or riches, Ser Gunter enters tourneys where he may, if only to win enough coin to survive and purchase food. Refusing to sink to the level of bandits and thieves, if there he lacks in coin he chooses to forage the forests and the woods where he might hunt or find berries and edible foliage.
