Turnop , despite being one of the oldest of his squad , happens to be , for a lack of a better term , quite a childish smartass. He's also a very skilled swordsman , having defeated many of Kingdom Cynda's most skilled Knights in Hand-to-Hand Combat , which was impressive enough of a feat to earn him a spot in the Knights' Ranks. 

( Should any further questions arise about this character , don't hestitate to ask. )
