Personality: He goes out his way to put a smile on everyone's face. There's no-one he won't accept into his heart. Flattery will make him almost putty in your hands.

History: Xappan was born the youngest of three triplets. Being born in the east, he completed his medical training abroad so as to avoid the war. He returned after the war having achieved medical proficiency. He was a general practitioner in the east for years, until he, through no fault of his own, lost a patient who had a very powerful family. Rather than risk reprisal he made his way south. Recently a tribe of drow attacked the village and all able bodies who could hold a blade were quickly armed and sent to the walls.
