Description: Wearing a closed helm and plate, one would not know what he was had he not made sure his armor was more form fitting than normal.

Judging by the bloodshot nature of his eyes and the massive bags underneath them one would imagine he has not slept for days.

Personality: He has a very dry and sarcastic sense of humor. He is not one for noise or eating so much, which is in direct contrast with his big mouthed big gutted partner.

He is kind towards other men and children and will generally offer men help without question. Others will generally need to prove themselves to him.

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. He found a children's book about a Gnome Druid who fought for good and justice and never realised it was just a child's story. He modeled his life after the story, seeing himself destined a hero. During his travels, Roondar and his party rested in a cavern that was (unknown to them) infused with powerful dark magic. Upon awakening, Roondar discovered the rest of his party dead, transformed into horrible, mindless undead versions of their former selves. Roondar fled the cavern, stopping for breath at a small pool, and only then realizing his own horrible transformation.
