Outward Appearance

Iarvund is quite tall (6'4" or 193 cm) and well trained. He has a fair skin that easily turns red in the summer. The Greyish Black hair is long, but usually tied up. A full, neatly trimmed beard show signs of greying, Across the right side of his face a long scar is visible. The silver grey eyes radiates warmth but can on rare occasions be as cold as stone. 

Most of the time he is wearing an old tarnished chest plate and tasset over scale mail, all of Gondorian make.  His most prized possession is an old greatsword, Númenril, which he carries in a plain backscabbard.
Iarvund values loyalty above all. Loyalty to Gondor, loyalty to family and loyalty to friends. He is not very sociable, until you get to know him that is. Once inside the shell he reveals a warm and kind personality, with a keen sense of humor.

Background

                       

Only son to Aradan and Ciriel Dungirion, he is the seventh in the family to bear the name Iarvund. Born in Lossarnach, on his parents estate. Started the soldiers training in his early teens. Joined the army under Forlong, Lord of Lossarnach. Eleven years later he was discharged from service after a dispute with his Lord.

After four years on the roads of Rohan and Eriador, west of the Misty mountains,  he finally returned to Gondor. Approaching the north gate of Rammas Echor he caught eye of the Captain in charge. Desperately short of tidings from the North, from Rohan and the Brown lands, he send Iarvund back as his scout. The orders were to report any enemy movements north and east of Anorien.
