Description: This man wears brown leather gloves, a brown jacket, and tight pants. He is muscular with a powerful set of arms. He has moderate length blonde hair. His eyes are likewise hazel.

Personality: His voice, at times compared to that of a Nymph, lambasts those who consider themselves "civilized" with snide, belittling remarks; the subtle growl he speaks with growing louder in doing so, one can find it most pronounced, despite the otherwise natural purity of his tone. He does suffer from mild PTSD, and the sight of dire rats may trigger it at times.

History: He was raised in a white middle class family as the only child. Because his father participated in the massacre of their homeland, dire rats burned their ranch to the ground and forced them out.
