Gilderick Pinebrook is not the tallest of his family, in fact he is sometimes considered to be short by members of his mother’s side of the family. He is a Pinebrook. Pinebrooks are not regarded as anything special. They never stood out for their height, strength or even wit. I am not saying that they are not fit; if truth be told, Erick does have quite a muscular body. He practices with his father’s sword, Cothdagnir, very often and truly has great skill with blade and axe. After a single spar with Gilderick, or ‘Erick’ as he’s uasually called, one would soon discover he isn’t the best of runners, nor thinkers.

Like his father, Erick has dark brown hair, which is usually long and quite rough, a short beard and dark green piercing eyes. He only has one smaller scar on his forehead and a few minute ones on his body. This aside, he is middle-aged; in his early 30’s one would think.

He almost always carries his sword with him, usually in its sheathe by his side. Only few have seen its cold blade unsheathed. The sword, Cothdagnir, has been in his family for at least 3 generations. It was given to his grandfather Finn Widewillow by Ethelbryt Eothane, the father of his grandmother. The sword has been a true heirloom and is believed to be very old, but sure no longer than this age.

The way he dresses is very simple. He doesn’t care about what people think of him. He usually wanders in his stained grey cape and old leather armour. However, he is sometimes seen in more traditional clothing at certain events. He has several garments that were gifted to him from his grandfather Finn when he returned from his journey to Rohan.
