Description: A man with a warm, jovial air about him, he is armored in gleaming platemail with gilded edges. A flowing red cape and mantle trimmed with soft black waves gently in the breeze. His auburn hair is still thick. His voice is smooth and creepy, always level, but somehow just slightly unnerving.

History: He was always a brilliant, if unscrupulous mind. While he appears to be a normal Halfling, he's... not quite right.
