Personality: Ortegar hangs on like a leech to those who appreciate him. It was this clingy personality that held back his painting career. He would rather hide behind his crafts than deal with other people.

History: Born to a pair of adventurers, Ortegar grew up listening to his mother's many stories. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the mountains to a summer home near a large cave. He would wander through that large cave and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and he was stranded inside. His family spent the next few days looking for him, and could only assume he was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the mountains due to the painful memories there. Ortegar took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up scythe and armor he uses now. Lacking all sense, he decided to go on an adventure. He picked a direction and started trekking.
