Around his neck hangs the Trademark pendant of his clan, his slightly different from that of his brothers. Rekail's pendant is the ever present cog inscribed with the clan's mantra in the common tounge. The base piece of Rekail's pendant that is encircled by the inscribed cog, is a pair of Greatswords crossed over a herald's war banner, a pair of smithing hammers crossing in the same manner hang's rests just above where the greatswords meet. Always seen with a Two-handed weapon on his back, Rekail's slightly bulkier than Aireohn, just enough to notice the difference, but visibly less hulking than Garex. |

Background
Easily the most outspoken and hot-headed of the brothers, Rekail always manages to find a way to the fore front of the situation, often forcing his way into the problem if only so he can be seen leading a charge. Raised in Michel Delving by the hobbits of the Shire, Rekail's somewhat aggrevating personality and stubborn nature hide a much simpler and generally softer side of himself that he actively conceals with brash statements and deflective humor. Even in his early years he could be seen with the other hobbit-lad's and lasses whom he associated with getting into all kinds of mischief and while not always the head of the group, he was always, without fail, at the fore-front of it's doings. This never changed even as he matured, albeit very slowly and only somewhat at that. He knew from early on that he had 2 brothers, but decided to stay in the shire despite being nearly 4 or more feet taller than just about everyone around him. Indeed he could, especially in his earlier years, be seen around town, snoozing or eating, pursuing simple activities of leisure and relaxation. Fishing by far was probably the most active event during a common day. This went on until the day he met Iroden, whom despite being quite a bit shorter than Rekail, encouraged him in what was one of Rekail's first experiences with combat, the 7ft 7in male beating back a bandit scout using a crude sword he'd taken from the bounder's armory. Luckily the scout had almost as little combat experience as Rekail so the man was able to use brute strength to club him down, dragging the unconcious bandit back to the bounders. He joined up as soon as he was able, on the condition that Iroden join him in the task. They've been rather inseparable ever since as the loyal herald is almost always at Rekail's side.
Studying under an apprentice smith at the time, Rekail learned the art of smithing, and it has served him well as he often has to custom fit a weapon for one of his brothers or for himself. Using his talents with a hammer and blade, Rekail and Iroden along with 3 fresh bounders drove away the slightly outnumbering force, with Rekail using his large body to intimidate 2 of them away before the fight. A wandering traveller who witnessed it and gave recommendation that Rekail begin studying and practicing battle tactics rather than making it up as he went along. To this day though, Rekail still retains his inner-hobbit-nature, though guards it rather well. He speaks only in common but is able to speak in his clan's unique language just as easily, his accent is slightly hobbit-like, but he has since been keeping it under wraps unless angered.
When he met his brethren for the first time, Rekail suffered his first taste of a shield curtesty of his elder kin and laughed it off even as the blood ran down his face from his broken nose and busted lip, showing his trained prowess with a Great-sword, his prefered weapon of choice. It was then that Aireohn taught him woodworking, rounding out Rekail's weapon-crafting capabilities.
