Body Description: Wavy, light brown hair, hazel eyes, and at least some scruff of a beard most of the time. It is his height that people typically notice first.

Aspirations/Ambitions:
Keep the royal family safe
Marry well
Don’t forget to enjoy life along the way
Alignment: Lawful Good
Reputation: October is well known to be someone you can depend on. He is responsible and reliable, especially in his occupation. He is skilled with a weapon and not at all the kind of guy you want to cross.

However, beyond that, he has a warm personality that makes it easy for him to get along with people. He enjoys social activities and getting to know what makes people tick. In his free time he enjoys hunting, riding, and attending social events of all shapes and sizes. He gets along well with women and enjoys their company but manages to politely keep it in his pants, or so people believe anyway.

Otto is the kind of man you want to know, the one to lovingly and zealously support his friends and encourage those who are down on their luck. Though he isn’t afraid to tell you how it is rather than beating around the bush. He is passionate about people finding joy in their lives regardless of whatever responsibilities rest on their shoulders.

In spite of having plenty of friends and friendly acquaintances, deep down Otto feels rather loney and wishes he had someone to spend his life loving and building a family with. Not that he’d ever admit that out loud, especially to his buddies. He’d be more likely to claim loving the single life and being glad to not be tied down when he really is jealous of the marriages he sees his friends enjoying.

Combat Experience: When Otto was 10 his uncle, Sam, began to train him and soon had connected him with the Mikaeals family where Otto began to train alongside other boys like Simon Mikaels and Castiel Andino. When he came of age he joined the Haas Legion and faithfully served them with determination and grit. He was recognized as being particularly talented and working well with others which helped him to stand out.

Such a reputation made it possible for him to eventually move to the royal guard where he continues to train to keep his skills sharp. He was in the battles against Coheed as well as involved in the battle at the palace against the Eldouirs.

No magic.

Tale:
October was born the oldest of three children with two younger sisters. The family business was in breeding and training hunting dogs and his parents had expected October to take over in running it one day. To their disappointment, while he was good with dogs, he was far more interested in joining the military and serving his kingdom in that way. Montgomery hunting dogs are the best of the best and are sought out eagerly, their pups usually already reserved before they are even born.

Growing up, the Montgomery children had private tutors for their education. There was no lack of education that would slow them down in life. They were groomed to fit in with society as much as any Marquis or Duke and taught to be a good asset to their family and society.

Though his parents tried to discourage him, October took interest in the military at a very young age and against his parent’s wishes his uncle began to train him when the boy was only 10 and shortly after connected him with the Mikaels family where Otto met Simon Mikaels and Castiel Andino. The three became very close friends, enjoying their teenage years, though Castiel was usually more interested in the training arena than a night out on the town. When Otto came of age he joined the Haas Legion.

In his mid twenties he met a young lady named Daisy and the two hit off. She was only a baronetess but that didn’t matter to October, he was in love. Or so he thought. There had been talk of marriage and Otto had already bought a ring to officially propose to her. Before he got the chance, however, he found out that she was to be married to another. It was completely devastating to him, breaking his heart.

He eventually found out that it was Simon who had orchestrated to put a wrench in the works, having believed that Daisy was not good enough for Otto. It put a long time dent in their friendship and it was at that time that October joined the Royal Guard which is where he remains to this day having served the royal family for the last 10 years. It took some time but eventually he and Simon managed to bandage their friendship.

Three years ago his sister, Averly, and her husband died in a tragic accident, leaving behind their 3 year old son, Niko. The family surrounded the little boy with love and he’s adored and cared for by all of them.
