Ryan Glenford
Lord Ryan Julian Glenford
Ryan is a lone traveller, earning his way across Azaria as a bounty hunter with his crossbow and trusty horse Cielo. They seem to have been travelling for quite some time, although for what purpose remains a mystery. He seems polite and kind, but he never likes talking about himself, nor about why he seems to be on the run from an unknown enemy.
Ryan is a quiet, reserved type of guy, but he does open up more once he starts talking, and seems to be a very genuine, warm person.
He rescues Eliza from a bear, unwittingly causing her to be Bound to him. Thus Eliza has no choice but to trust him as she is forced to remain by his side.
Even though his mysterious past is about to catch up to him...

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Ryan is a shy, introverted young man who, as a result of his social anxiety and awkwardness at social politics, is usually absent from his manor home, going on longs rides with his horse, Cielo, with whom he has a close bond. He tries to spend as much time away from home and his father, not wanting to face the verbal abuse and his inadequacies. Hence he is liable to run away from difficult situations, rather than face them directly.
Ryan also finds it very difficult to form attachments to other people. He's socially a loner, preferring his own company. He acts like this because his mother, Bound to his father, was never happy, and neglected herself til she died. Ryan was 12 years old, and never truly got over it. This both seeds his fear of attachment and hatred of the curse. His father also is constantly disappointed in him, and so Ryan feels he is the result of an unwanted union.

Quotes & Catchphrases
“Impressive deduction,” Ryan murmured. “You certainly look deeper than most.” He brushed back a strand of my hair, and I screwed my eyes shut. He was doing this on purpose. “But let me give you some advice.” His lips were right next to my ear. “I wouldn’t peer too far. Even the clearest window can cast back your own reflection.”
