Personality: His voice, at times compared to that of a Nymph, lambasts those who consider themselves "civilized" with snide, belittling remarks; the subtle growl he speaks with growing louder in doing so, one can find it most pronounced, despite the otherwise natural purity of his tone. He does suffer from mild PTSD, and the sight of gnolls may trigger it at times.

History: He was born several months after his mother was called into army service. He took after his mother in leading caravans. Because they were valued, his mother taught him to defend himself. When his mother died while fighting gnolls, the young Oskar began to lead the lost caravan. Days after completing his studies, news broke out that his hometown was attacked by gnolls.
