Rewar the bloody was a petty man of intrigue with the aspiration to become king. Through manipulation and deception he acquired a great deal of power. To raise his status, he claimed various heroic deeds of others as his own. Though he silenced anyone who could put his exploits into question, suspicions amongst his knightly peers began to rise. On one occasion, he claimed credit for having slain a dragon that was truthfully felled by a shepherd that Rewar assumed had died in the fight. Another knight confronted Rewar with a wounded, but alive, shepherd and called his bluff. Rewar, seemingly infuriated, demanded a trial by combat, thinking that he would easily best a mere herder of sheep, unskilled in the use of arms. When he learned that not the shepherd but the accusing knight would be his opponent, Rewar fled the court and sought solace in a remote castle at the border. 

There, he led a life as a robber baron for a while until a force of the realm drove him out. He then became a traveler, visiting many wonders of the known world and beyond. He served as a sword for hire for some time, but serving did not suit him well and he abandoned his employers often in the time of their greatest peril. He typically managed to do so with a good part of the employer's wealth. Some he betrayed for gold, others out of spite. With his reputation ruined, his traveling intensified. 

As an old man he returned to the realm and used his ill-gotten wealth to buy himself a pardon from a young, new king. A few old knights remembered him and his misdeeds and tried to put him on trial again. Through intrigue and bribery, Rewar dodged their accusations until he finally died of old age.
