Jean de Brillant

Sir Jean de Brillant is a legendary knight of the Kingdom of Almeron and the Knight-Commander of The Immaculate. He is considered one of the best fighters to have ever lived and has fought in thousands of duels to decide matters vital and trivial. He is the only man in Estorian history who has been invited to join the Order of the Dragon and the Sanctus Guard, rejecting both offers in order to keep his honor pure. It is often claimed not only that Sir Jean has never been defeated in single combat, but that he has never once told a lie. He has never publicly removed his helmet or any of his armor since being knighted and refuses to do so in respect to a sacred vow not to show himself until the world is made pure. He is considered one of Almeron's greatest national heroes, and every man who has ever known him, friend or foe, has spoken of him with the highest respect.

Appearance
Sir Jean de Brillant is truly a knight in shining armor, only ever seen in the purest of plate from head to toe and atop a barded horse. His steel armor is enameled in white and engraved with the blooming rose of his order, each piece of plate immaculate and glistening in the day's sun. His bucket helm has no visor to raise, obscuring all but his pure blue eyes to those that stand to face him. From its crest is the plumage of a score of doves, white as virgin snow and dancing elegantly in the wind. His cloak is made of the finest silk and despite many battles remains as unstained as the man's honor, though in tourneys and ceremonies Sir Jean has been known to instead don a cloak made of hundreds of white roses.

Sir Jean's weapon is one of legend, a montante inscribed with holy symbols and made of the finest steel available. It is a marvelous sight in the Knight's hands, moving elegantly and with perfect balance. It was forged by a master swordsmith and has as of yet never failed Sir Jean, accompanying him everywhere and serving as the only weapon beyond his lance that he uses. He has named it Purity, and after every battle it is cleansed of blood with as much care as the man shows to himself.

Little is known of his physical appearance save for among those close to him, as he has never once been publicly seen or drawn sans his helmet and armor. He is tall and of strong build, standing at over 6'4" and fitting his armor perfectly. His voice is booming and has served as a rallying cry to thousands even whilst muffled behind his helmet.

Personality
Sir Jean de Brillant is known personally by very few, chief amongst that select group the highest ranking members of The Immaculate. He is known for adhering to a code of chivalry deemed unobtainable by most, living his life purely and under his motto, 'Honor Unstained'. He is valiant and effortlessly brave, kind and gallant, intelligent and polite. He is not a man known for jests and is considered exceedingly truthful, incapable of lying or deceiving another in any way. Those that have served along side him know he has no tolerance for cowardice or cruelty to innocents, and though he hands down punishments with no visible anger it is a chilling thing to be sentenced by the Knight of Purity. Because Sir Jean's features are never visible, he is forced to be very expressive in his language and tone of voice, ever ensuring that there is no misunderstanding in his intent.
