Description: He is dressed in an above average manner. He carries with him a set of whips on his belt, each one with a topaz on the hilt. His long white hair is drawn into a two foot long braid. His gray eyes are slightly larger than normal.

Personality: He is business-like. He takes instructions and follows them to the letter. He is a bit of a macho man and will challenge people to random contests of strength and skill, and invite them to random hunting and fishing trip.

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. Damien took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up whip and armor he uses now. He bought a whip and has really upped his game hunting, due to his understanding of decoy and ambush.
