Darren Icebane grew up under the tutelage of his mother Lady Helena Icebane and learned his warrior's lessons well. Drilled in the art of warfare, and the importance of defending Frosthaven, he took the lessons to heart and made sure he was aware of the importance of not shaming the house. He trained and drilled to be a stalwart defender under the title, a sword in his mother grasp - he is aware of the direct nature of his training and that he might lack some of the subtleties of some of the other nobles, but he knows that misdirection and diplomacy mean nothing if Frosthaven falls. He is proud of the defence his family has and is a little more blunt at times than is proper, yet he also knows when to be silent and let the superiors of the house talk.
He focuses on the martial side, the defence of the city, not bothered about the diplomatic aspects, keeping his sword and shield ready for the next onslaught that will come, and he knows it will come, and that will be the time that once more, House Icebane will be the ones to step forward and protect the rest of Frosthaven.
