FEARS: Swiftcloud fears faiture above all else. In everything he does he strives to not only succeed but to excel.

HISTORY: Swiftcloud's parents, Softtear and Bladewind, died early on in Swiftcloud's life in a changeling hunting expedition. The hunt had been orchestrated by Chief Ravenblade Orculli, who had convinced Swiftcloud's parents into participating even though they were from a different clan. Softtear and Bladewind were the only two of the hunting party to not return, and there was no one to comfort the grieving Swiftcloud, and absolutely nothing in the way of condolences from the Chief of the Orculli when the ragged hunting party re-entered the keep. The anger that Swiftcloud felt toward the Corculli chief has overflowed to his son, Blackstag, the new chief of the Orculli. Swiftcloud had led a quiet life and because of the circumstances of his parents life, and subsequent death, works hard to ensure the safty of Silence Keep. Much of his time is spent in practice with his claymore, or hunting and riding. The martial arts have been one of Swiftcloud's only comforts and he thusly throws himself into every aspect of them. Swiftcloud is not, however, bloodthirsty or eager to start a fight.

OUT LOOK ON LIFE: Life is to be enjoyed to the fullest, and those things worth enjoying are worth protecting.

SEES SELF AS: Swiftcloud sees himself as a protector of the clan Ieles and its beliefs.

IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER: Swiftcloud is amongst the best swordsmen/women within the keep and abroad. He abhors reckless endanderment of other's lives. He is fiercely loyal of his friends and will defend them and his beliefs with his life.
