Description: This tall, slender man wears very tight pants and wife beaters, though occasionally he sports a tan coat. He has dyed his greying blonde hair a little too much giving a sharp blonde color. His eyes, though not visible through his cowl, are brown.

Personality: He is overprotective of those who hire his services. His brief stint in the army gave him the idea he was invincible and that he is the toughest man alive.

History: He was born in a small plains village. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the plains to a summer home near a large cave. He would wander through that large cave 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 plains due to the painful memories there. Cockaby took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up scythe and armor he uses now. He has drifted apart from his friends and has been working freelance. Each gave each other a copy of their signature scythe.

Motivation: He's repulsed by the PC; and to reunite with his old friends
