Description: He is an average looking northern male in his early mid-life. He typically wears brown cloth garments or leather armor. He sports a flattop fur cut. His eyes are green.

Personality: He can speak with the recently deceased. A fanatic, his devotion to his small selection of gods is unquestionable. He claims to be doing their will and will base all his actions on whether or not they would be pleasing to the gods.

History: A studious child he never was much for a social life, not because he was unlikable, but because he did not seek it out. Brilliant and gifted he never wanted to apply himself. During his travels, Shivering and his party rested in a cavern that was (unknown to them) infused with powerful dark magic. Upon awakening, Shivering discovered the rest of his party dead, transformed into horrible, mindless undead versions of their former selves. Shivering fled the cavern, stopping for breath at a small pool, and only then realizing his own horrible transformation.

History: He was born in the north. Ostracized due to the psionic powers of his oldest brother, he and his siblings struck out on their own. In the process these unassuming Humans became a terror of the countryside. He then took over the family business and is one of the better Crown-heir for hire.

Description: A pudgy woman standing about 4'10" has a big stupid grin on her face most of the time. She is armored in gleaming platemail with gilded edges. A flowing tan cape and mantle trimmed with soft black waves gently in the breeze. She has styled her blonde hair well, parting it to the right. Her eyes, though not visible through her cowl, are hazel.

Personality: She will use flattery and sarcasm to attack and weaken her opponents. Despite her formidable combat skills she remains a coward. Her home and work are filled with various knick knacks she has acquired through the years. She cares a great deal for her adopted teenage son.

History: She was born in the south, but her parents moved at a very young age to the north. While she appears to be a normal Half-Elf, she's... not quite right.
