Description: This man is bedraggled and starved. He wears a grey collared shirt and blue pants. He accessorizes with a grey scarf around the waist and a strap diagonally across his shirt. His silver hair is greying along the sides and has receded to reveal a widow's peak. His gray eyes peer out from beneath his Stetson grey hat.

Personality: He is overprotective of those who hire his services. He is lazy, self-centered, vain, and jealous.

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. In his 16th year, his parents were killed by a illithids raid, leaving Barendd alone in the world. After a stint in an orphanage, he was adopted. He was granted druidic powers by his dying sister.

History: He was born blind and as such lacked many opportunities for work. His parents died when he was young, and he was unceremoniously dumped in the city orphanage.
