History: Ar-Baruk was raised in a hard working conservative environment. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the desert to a summer home near a large cave. He would wander through that large cave and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and he was stranded inside. His family spent the next few days looking for him, and could only assume he was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the desert due to the painful memories there.

History: He was born with several neurological imbalances, which makes sleep difficult for him. It may also be what makes him so good at details.

During his travels, Chad and his party rested in a cavern that was (unknown to them) infused with powerful dark magic.
