Portfolio Class- Character Development!

Some very rough ideas for Mordred... still not happy with it, and still thinking how to make him interesting. I was giving him a beard on the first two, but that made him look way too old, and I want to make him look at least younger than arthur, so I tested a short beard on the last one.
And, I have several key words to help get the concept and pose:
evil
scary
agressive
challenging
powerful
young
handsome (maybe)
raider
desert pirate?

And I'm not sure how to link him to Morgane... I was thinking about giving him a fire sword? is that idea too cliche? still thinking what to do with that.
Cheers!



EDIT:

I pushed a bit more the previous sketches
I think I like the last two
