History: His druidic talent manifested at a young age. Aiming to upstage a rival house, his parents had him trained. In his youth he was part of a gang. He got caught, but did not rat out his comrades and served his time in prison. He has never given up on his writing dream.

History: Norkruuth was raised in a hard working conservative environment. While he appears to be a normal Dragonborn, he's... not quite right.

History: Trained by his father for as long as he can remember he had it drilled in his head that it was his duty to serve his country.

His amber eyes show the wear and tear of someone lonely with a great burden to carry.

Personality: He is always cheerful, even with a hangover, and is always willing to go through all sorts of trouble to help his friends. He considers everything a fun event and doesn't hold grudges. He is however greedy and will demand payment and proof of collateral's value and will produce a merchant's scale to make sure he is not cheated out of a speck.
