Description
Born to middle-class unicorn parents and named after a heroine of old, it wasn't long before Glinteng changed his name to Glinted Chape and struck out for greener pastures. After a brief stint as a city guard of Canterlot, Glint finally found his place amongst the Royal Guard of Everfree, where he made a name for himself with his keen eye and rigid adherence to order. Perhaps the defining moment of his career came when he stumbled across a plot to assassinate the Royal Sisters. And while his saber fell sure that day, perhaps the least pleased with the result was Glinted Chape himself.

Ill-interested in the airs of the nobility, but ever willing to stay on top of court politics in the name of his job, Glint was eventually named Captain of the Guard as a compromise between several other candidates. By then he had painstakingly built a reputation of possessing the bushiest mustache and the most unflinching resolve of any pony in Everfree Castle, not counting Celestia or Luna of course. The resolve, that is. Not the mustache. And while it cannot be said that Glint is much of an inventive pony, or even a great leader, he is certainly forward thinking, hence his trademark saber. A practical and competent stallion at least, well loved by his guardponies. He has recently come into a disfiguring facial scar after a battle with a vicious vampire. While that wound may heal in time, the scars of losing ponies to the monster will never leave Glint's already heavy soul.

The age of knights and chivalry has ended where Glint is concerned. Only vigilance can protect Equestria now. And dark times are ahead.

===

This character was originally named "Fawn Saber" in the earlier drafts of Swordpony. Thankfully that's changed.

His colors are brown and honey-gold. His cutie mark is a sword secured in its scabbard, symbolizing both the willingness and the reluctance necessary to wisely wield any weapon.
