History: The child of a Soapmaker, who enjoyed hunting, Quarethon was taken on many hunting expeditions. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the desert 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 desert due to the painful memories there. Quarethon took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up scythe and armor he uses now. He has recently attracted an admirer that believes he's playing hard to get.
