Personality: Olgoth wants to be seen as a stoic, levelheaded, noble Ranger, so he tries to act the part. He does a good job, for the most part... He does not regard money as being a problem because it has never been a problem for him. He lives in a bit of an ivory tower believing all problems are one quick intervention away from being solved.

Outside of the suit he wears a weathered and beat up set of banded mail beneath an oversized brown coat. His red hair is smooth and relatively long. His face is scarred and worn.

Personality: He is a man who does what he needs to. He will acquiesce to black mail and extortion to avoid trouble. 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, John is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: Born to a Jeweler, his mother struggled to pay the bills. His parents died when he was young, and he was unceremoniously dumped in the city orphanage.
