Description: The man speaks with an almost imperceptible accent. He seems to always be the slightest bit damp as if he got out from a pool a few moments ago. He wears a brown vest and prefers violet and grey shirts. His boots appear to have been at one point steel toed but are quite worn down. His black hair is greying along the sides and has receded to reveal a widow's peak. His eyes are gray and beady.

Personality: Ahvain wants to be seen as a stoic, levelheaded, noble Monk, so he tries to act the part. He does a good job, for the most part... He enjoys reading and quiet.

History: Ahvain lived on a farm with his father, near the main road leading to a nearby town. Being born in the east, he completed his medical training abroad so as to avoid the war. He returned after the war having achieved medical proficiency.

He moves from town to town, unable to find a place to settle.

Motivation: His spouse's relatives view him with great suspicion.
