Old Man Burgundy
The White Lion (originally the Red Lion) (a.k.a. Old Man Burgundy)
The elderly man often referred to as Old Man Burgundy is a wandering swordsman of much acclaim and an adventurer from a now-bygone era. Not much is known about this enigmatic man beyond his own words and the occasional rumour. He's known to appear sporadically all across the world to help people from all walks of life with whatever ails them.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Not much is known about Burgundy's life due to how closely he guards his secrets, even his own real name. However, from what little can be gathered about him from his own comments, he started adventuring in his 20's and never turned back even 50 years later. Stories of his deeds began to spread around the turn of the century, as tales of a red-haired swordsman protecting villages from bandits and monster attacks in Artoriga (then the Kingdom of Artoriga) were told across Vespertia and later most of the world, earning him the nickname "Burgundy" after his hair colour.
As the years went on, Burgundy witnessed the growing modernisation of the world, and society's fading reliance on adventurers. His years also began to catch up to him, as sightings of the adventurer eventually became rarer.
Morality & Philosophy
Burgundy is opposed to the very concept of nobility for unknown reasons, and prefers to assist the common folk. While this has made him somewhat of a folk hero, the aristocracy considers him a great danger to their image.
Social
Speech
Burgundy speaks with an Artorigan accent in a firm, but kindly tone. His voice is slightly gravelly due to his age, however.
