Description:
Facial Description Winslow has strong gaunt features with pale skin stretching over. He looks to be in his mid to late forties even though he is really much older.

His glassy brown eyes are sunken into to dark tired sockets accented by strong scowl lines around his eye and the rest of his face. He always seems able to maintain an unattractive level of stubble. His eyebrows are thick dark and unruly, same as the short black hair on his head that is starting to show a touch of grey at the temples.

History
Temple of the Raven Queen

Winslow (At the time named Arthur) never knew his parents. He was found on the doorsteps to one of the Raven Queen's temples in Avalor. He grew up there leading a mostly cloistered life with the sisters. There were not many men at the temple, only a small handful of priests. The temple was mostly ran by the sisters of the Raven Queen. They would take in local orphans, although Winslow grew up as the only boy among them. Because of this mostly feminine influence he learned quite a few domestic skills from the sisters, including a knack for tailoring and embroidery.

His ubringing and minimal experience with the outside world led him to be quite fervent in his love for the Raven Queen. He had wished to serve her as one of her clerics but found he lacked her blessing. When he came of age he wanted to become a priest of the Raven Queen. The high priestess of his temple pushed him to apply for the Royal College of Wizardry in Avalor's capital. She claimed to have been granted a vision of the future where in he would be one of the greatest wizard's ever known.

Failed Wizardry and Roman

When Winslow applied to the Royal College of Wizardry his written exam scored as one of the highest seen in centuries. He was all set to be one of the most successful wizards in recent history, even apprenticed under the queen herself. Everything came to a screeching halt though when Winslow struggled to cast even the most basic of spells. The Queen worked with him for two years before deciding he was a lost cause. Winslow ended up dropping out and doing menial work in the capital as a scribe.

Having fallen on tough times most of his wages ended up being spent on drinking at one of the local taverns. There he met Roman. As a young wizard drop out the charming and charismatic Roman had left him absolutely smitten. Roman talked to him about other ways to learn magic than the College of Wizardry and in his desperation Winslow was willing to do anything. Roman talked him into making a pact with the Devil Prince Astaroth, who gave Winslow magical power. Together they joined Avalor's revolution.

Avalor's Revolution

Initially in Avalor's Revolution Winslow worked mostly behind the scenes under Roman. They made the plans that other smaller groups of rebels were meant to execute. One of the most important plans was to get the rebellious Prince Jasper to their side. After several failed attempts at seducing him the task was finally handed over to Winslow who proceeded to talk the hellion prince into joining their cause over several mugs of ale.

With the prince now acting as poster boy for the rebellion, and the budding friendship growing between Winslow and Jasper, Winslow became more personally involved in the revolutions activities. Behind their backs Roman sent rebels to assasinate the King in Jasper's name. Jasper was set to be executed for his treason but Winslow infiltrated his execution, disguised as the executioner, only revealing himself at the last second as he escaped with Jasper.
