Personality: He is overprotective of those who hire his services. A friendly and beautiful Half-Elf, he is rarely seen without a few beauties around his arms. Though a playboy in all rights, he is no lame duck.

When his spouse passed he lost his only source of income but claims to his daughters to still be retired.

The family never returned to the mountains due to the painful memories there. Karash took refuge in the ruined castle and found the beat up ceremonial dagger and armor he uses now.
