====== Almeric de Saint Meur ======
(//[[tag:bonivant|Bonivant]]//)

{{ :characters:almericdesaintmeur.png|Almeric de Saint Meur by Patrick Crusiau}}With indefatigable martial skills and a sincere belief in the True Faith, Almeric is a paragon of knightly virtue. Travelling the lands as a Knight Capellar Errant, he is bold, brave, devout, honourable, and a respected diplomat of high renown.

From a Braeburg gentry family, Almeric renounced all lands and titles when joining the Knights Capellar. His vow of poverty allows only personal arms and armour. This equipment is of excellent quality, the envy of many a noble. His plate harness is of the Achtan style, with fluted plates and fine silver filigree. As well as his Capellar sabre, Almeric has one of the ancient and powerful Swords of Vallandar at his hip. He rides a fine warehorse of purebred stock.

Almeric is classically handsome. Tall, olive-skinned, athletic and strong-jawed with brilliant blue eyes. His black hair is shaved in accordance with his knightly vow. Almeric speaks with a smooth Beaulangue accent, adding to his persuasive and diplomatic presence.

Almeric is famed across the land as an astute politician and cunning tactician. Kings and commoners alike trust and respect him to arbitrate disputes and mete justice fairly. Almeric is being groomed by his Capellar Masters to enter a secret elite cadre of knights -- the Templars of the Knights Capellar.

Almeric may be encountered anywhere in Albion, Chaubrette, Kurland, or Braeburg, especially near a Capellar stronghold. He has been known to charge into a situation to save complete strangers from danger, without fear or concern for himself.
