Sir Loynn



Sir Alexander Loynn-Stake is a Lieutenant in the White Knights of Falador where he works mainly as a Drill Instructor for The White Knights and he trains squires.

Early Life
Alexander grew up in East Falador and is the son of Sir Joseph Loynn, a retired White Knight Partisan. After Joseph retired he married Vanessa Stake and had only one child, Alexander, who was named by combing their two last names. As a child he had always admired his father's past deeds and the fearless White Knights who he had served with to protect Falador and the word of Saradomin. Naturally, Alexander wanted to become a White Knight but he knew he would need prior combat experience so at the age of 17 he left home and enlisted in the Burthorpe Imperial Guard.

Burthorpe Imperial Guard
At the age of 17 Alexander enlisted in the Imperial Guard so he could gain combat experience. He signed a basic four-year contract which he fullfilled and then returned to Falador. Because of his service Sir Loynn has a deep hatred for Trolls as their only goal is destruction and the misery of  others.

Squirehood
Alexander finished his four year contract with the Burthorpe Imperial Guard and returned to Falador. At the age of 21 Alexander entered his squirehood in the White Knights where he quickly passed the trials of a squire and had a perfect score on his squire test.

Initiate
As an Initiate Sir Loynn spent more time on guard duty, patrols, peacekeeping, and the upkeep of Vallancia. During his time as an Initiate he aided his fellow knights in defeating three demons as well as ending several goblin raids. One day, Commander Bool saw Sir Loynn while he was cutting wood for new building material in Vallancia and he decided to promote Sir Loynn to Proselyte.

Proselyte
As a Proselyte Sir Loynn started training squires as well as preparing them for their squire tests. During his time as a Proselyte he also participated in a mission to retrieve Anti-Fire shields from the Duke of Lumbridge when the possible threat of Dragons had appeared. Sir Bool was pleased with the progress of Sir Loynn and named him "Knight of the Month" for June - July 2013 as well as promoting him to the rank of Acolyte.

Acolyte
As an Acolyte Sir Loynn followed mostly in the footsteps of Sir Brynden Ryker and started taking more of an initiative to lead knights. At a Knighting ceremony several months later Sir Loynn was promoted to the rank of Partisan because of the progress he was making.

Partisan
As a Partisan Sir Loynn participated in the Battle of Lumbridge as part of Sir Brutus' squad where they held the west side of the battlefield. During the battle Sir Loynn killed two Kinshra but sustained wounds to his abodmen and wounds to his face after being kicked by a demon. He was knocked unconcious by this kick as it was straight to the head and he woke up in the castle the next day to find out that he had been blinded in his left eye. After recovering from his wounds he decided that the Squires needed harder training so he took over as the primary Drill Instructor in place of Captain Deceit. In year 1 of the Sixth Age Sir Bool passed on the message that Sir Tiffy Cashien had taken intrest in him and he was offered a job in the Temple Knights, he accepted this commission but soon left the Temple Knights and returned to The White Knights. A short while before the Battle of Port Sarim and the ball to celebrate Saradomin's soon to be victory Sir Loynn was given an officer's commission.

Lieutenant
Sir Loynn recieved an Officer's commission in Year one of the Sixth age. Only a few days after being promoted Sir Loynn attended the Victory Ball at Vallancia where he got very drunk and started a fight with Sir Ephraim. After starting the fight he was escorted out by Sir Vye Ver and went back to the castle.

Initiate
As an Initiate Sir Loynn participated in a mission to stop the flow of a weapons shipment from a Zarosian Cult on Karamja. This mission was a success but Sir Loynn soon resigned from the Temple Knights and went back to The White Knights.
