Personality: He is irritable and easily angered. He is a bit of a bully and is not afraid to use his stature and powers to intimidate and hurt. His respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to him, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, he tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in his reactions to snap at those who irritate him, Balam is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: The child of a Bowyer, who enjoyed hunting, Balam was taken on many hunting expeditions. Balam liked to wander the woods near his home when he was young, something he still likes to do at least once a week.

He has achieved small success as a Knight.
