Shield of Sparrows · Character
Banner
Also known as General Banner
- Supporting
- First seen · Book 2
Banner is a tall man standing over six feet with a lean, strong build that appears gangly next to larger warriors yet moves with swift, smooth, lethal grace. His short light-brown hair is always impeccably combed with not a strand out of place, accenting his fair skin and smooth jaw that sets into firm, angry lines or breaks with a slight grin at the mouth corner. His brown eyes hold vivid amber starbursts that catch the light and flare with rage or wildness, and he wears a formal teal coat with polished gold buttons along with a leather belt bearing his famous throwing knives, embodying the image of a purposeful, intimidating military general from a castle-filled kingdom.
