Appearance
Sildar Hallwinter is a human male of around 50 years. The veteran soldier presents as a noble and valorous individual. Despite Hallwinter's armour bearing the scars of many battles, the general's plate mail shone with a deep silver, and was draped with pristine vibrant red cloth that beared the iconic crown of the Lords' Alliance. Hallwinter's appearance was reflective of his personality and reputation as a man of honour, and unflinching resolve.

Personality
A kind-hearted and chivalrous individual, Hallwinter's loyalty to his friends was only surpassed by his loyalty to the Lord's Alliance. Hallwinter is a staunch believer in that the Lords' Alliance is one of the few organisations who embody the values of law, order and chivalry; so much though that he would overlook past failings of the order, and dismiss those who point out the 'Alliance's transgressions. Those who are at odds with the 'Alliance had to be wary, as the old veteran soldier would sacrifice tooth and nail for his beloved faction, to whom he had served his whole life.

Holding a place of honour in the city of Waterdeep's Griffin Cavalry, and having served as a Lords' Alliance field agent, Sildar Hallwinter demonstrated great aptitude as a tactician, warrior and governor. He commanded respect from those he encountered.
