Etaret Witchbane

Etaret Witchbane is the Jarl of Eastmarch in the New Kingdoms canon. Since he could walk his father trained him in fighting, since he could read he was trained in battle tactics and strategies. As such he is a great soldier and general. He is father to Arthur, Astrid, and Elijah Witchbane.

Childhood
Etaret's father, Uther, was a soldier, as was his father and his before him. Etaret was trained since three to fight, by the time he could read at five his father was making him read about great generals and kings and their war tactics. All his life has been fighting, since before he can remember. At age fourteen he saw his father dragged into the night by Thalmor Justiciars, his mother would die of grief a few months later. He, quite understandably, hates the Aldmeri Dominion and those who support it. As such it didn't take long for Etaret to find himself under the Stormcloak's banner.

Civil War
At age fifteen Etaret joined the Stormcloaks. Most of the other soldiers thought he was to young and would die soon. To the contrary, his training filled upbringing made him excel at the war. It wouldn't be long before he started leading his own soldiers as a captain, his brilliant strategies and skilled swordsmanship helping him win every battle he was in. By the time he was seventeen and the war ended he was a general. Not just any general but Ulfric's right hand man, equal with Galmar Stone-Fist. Etaret trained Stormcloak troops in the use of heavy armor and one handed weaponry for a while before retiring and trying to live peacefully. It wouldn't last.
