Personality: Thar speaks confidently about a variety of topics with grace. He is clearly well-traveled and educated. He is stubborn though. He always likes to keep a trick up his sleeve. He likes to fight dirty and will kick and punch below the belt if he feels he even has a chance of losing.

History: He was born in the west, but his parents moved at a very young age to the south. Thar was a troubled youth.

As of late he has set up a hidden staging nest where he ambushes people he hires for escort.
