.:Physical Appearance:. Tybalt is not a man of noble blood nor does he hold the appearance of such. He is of medium height and build, never having done any extensive weapon training to make him look as muscular as some others. He has brown hair which often has that untamed look to it and large eyes which are never too serious. His clothing is that of a wanderer’s, clad in neutral colors and often worn in layers. He is usually found with an instrument in his hand and his slingshot by his side.
.:Height:. 6 feet
.:Portrayed by:. Peter Mooney

.:Personality:.

Tybalt is a jolly ol’ fellow. He is one who never takes anything too seriously, which can also be a rather irritating quality, depending on the circumstance. He is the glass half full kind of guy, always looking on the brighter side of things regardless of how the odds look. A true optimist at heart. He has a fantastic sense of humor, never failing at offering a good joke every now and then, even in the most serious situation; which again, can make him a bit more irritating than appreciated. He loves the company of people and is extremely family orientated, though at the same time, loves to explore the adventures life has to offer. Like any man, he enjoys charming the ladies with a song, and serenading them with words of poetry. He never takes things quite too seriously, and tends to be overly friendly to just about anyone who does not look too threatening.

Music plays a huge part in his life. Since he was capable of holding an instrument, he has always been playing something and singing some tune. His voice is rather melodic as he can carry a beat, and can be of immense entertainment whether it be by offering just music, singing a song, or a telling a tale. It makes the darker times seem brighter, the quiet times seem more uplifted, and the times where silence is required to be disrupted by his seemingly unceasing playing, singing, or chatter. He is good at keeping up other people's morale, especially in time of distress. He can give good advice and often motivate others to raise their spirits and not dwell in sadness.
.:Strengths:.

• Due to his travels, he is extremely resourceful and VERY well connected. If you need anything, he often knows a guy, who knows a guy.
  
• As a minstrel, a great strength of his is music. He can: sing, play most all instruments, and create song out of nothing.
  
• He has some skills of carpentry, as he makes most of his own instruments.

.:Weaknesses:.

• He is rubbish with any weapon other than a slingshot.
  
• He can not read nor write.
  
• His daughter and the time away from her can sometimes take a toll on him.

.:Magic Abilities:. None.
.:Special Skills:. A special skill of his besides music, is that he is quite handy with a slingshot. He shoots with the utmost precision and accuracy. It may not be a typical weapon, but it is one that comes in handy more than one would assume.
.:Accents:. Lower class English

.:Occupation:. Minstrel
.:Current Location of Residence:. He travels around quite a bit, but most all his family is in Gawant [eventually moves to Camelot]
.:History:. Tybalt had a rather ordinary childhood, one typical of any citizen of a kingdom. His father was, still is, a carpenter and his mother a housewife. He was born as the middle child of seven children. While he was always quite family orientated, he enjoyed the outdoors a great deal. He loved exploring and he craved adventure. However, is greatest love in life was music. Ever since he was capable of holding an instrument, he had. Teaching himself how to play, and carry a tune in perfect melody. He began to use this as a means to earn coin. At first, it started out as just being a little cute boy who hold a note. But it soon turned into a profession. Something he started getting paid for and he found himself enjoying this new self proclaimed occupation, being rewarded with coin to help support his family.

The next greatest highlight of his life, was marriage. He was wed to a neighbor of their land, one that he was decent friends with so was all too happy the accept the proposal that his father arranged. Obviously not wanting to be disrespectful and say no. Within a month, they were wed. Within another couple of months, she was with child. Unfortuantely she did not live long after to enjoy the blessing of motherhood. Her death involved a noble and Tybalt will often spare anyone details of this. It was the first, and so far only, tragedy that had ever struck Tybalt's life. He was saddened and for a short while, overcome with grief... but being the optimist he was did not dwell in sadness. Instead, he focused on his daughter Eleni, who became the source of pride and joy in his life. However with needing to support a child, as well as all the other children of his siblings, he had to extend his work.

Deciding to make use of his only skill, Tybalt began to work as a minstrel. He travels far and wide, returning home every so often to spend as much time with his daughter as he can. He has the opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds: being a father, and continuing his love of music and song. It has been many years since his wife has passed and he finds himself traveling the world, earning rather impressive coin, meeting a great number of people [hence his good connections] and then returning home to a loving family. To Tybalt, life is rather perfect!
