Cadfael Trow

Cadfael Trow is one of the two main protagonists within the game DUÆL. He is close childhood friends with Lucille, and close emotional acquaintance with Walter.

History
Most of Cadfael's history is rather blurred. He remembers little from his youth, and his tendency to keep to himself only exacerbates this.

Cadfael was born in Moordell, where he lived with his parents until age 12. At that age, the death of his parents forced him out of his home. He spent his early years on the streets, barely getting by. He later moved to Centerdam, where he was taken in by Lucille and the local mages.

During the events of the story, Cadfael lives as a nomad, drifting from town to town.

Combat Skills
Cadfael focuses on rapid strikes with his sword. His defence is weak, and his attack strength average. He can learn magic to a very limited degree, but never excels at it.

Development
Cadfael takes inspiration from the archetypical fast, swift hitting fighting game character. His earth-toned color scheme is meant to give him an appearance of being "down to earth", while his vivid yellow eyes hint that there may be hidden power or potential within him. His name is an ironic one, given his caste, literally meaning "battle prince" in Welsh.

Personality
Cadfael is normally quiet, but can be quite rash and endlessly inquisitive and curious. Though experienced in battle, he sometimes does not immediately realize his own limitations. He acts as a foil to Walter, in that while both are very soft-spoken, Cadfael is open to the world and makes friends easily.

Trivia

 * Cadfael is the only character in DUÆL that refers to Lucille by her nickname "Lucy".
