History: Efferil was born the youngest of three triplets. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the mountains to a summer home near a old dungeon. He would wander through that old dungeon 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 mountains due to the painful memories there. Efferil took refuge in the old dungeon and found the beat up hand crossbow and armor he uses now. By chance he met his brother recently and the two have been together since.
