Personality: She believes there is no problem she cannot solve with sufficient elbow grease and persistence, if it is the best or most economic solution matters not. She spends most of her days drinking in the Inn, the rowdiest and most dangerous establishment in town. There she gambles, wrestles and listens to stories told by travelers.

History: Raised by wardens she was only a novice when orcs swooped upon their monastery and killed most of the order.

History: He was born into a rich family. In his 16th year, while out on a day-trip, he returned to find his hometown burning and destroyed.

To avoid death by starvation, most orphans take to a life of crime or prostitution (often both), and so did Heskan. He became a Sage soon after.
