Description: He tends to wear a large brown jacket. He carries with him a set of halberds, each one with a amethyst on the hilt. He only wears one on his belt and the other on his back. His black hair is cut short. Judging by the bloodshot nature of his eyes and the massive bags underneath them one would imagine he has not slept for days.

Personality: He hates gnolls. He views them as having robbed his home of its proper glory. He also has developed a complete distrust of the Fortune-teller profession.

History: Born in a small village he learned the ways of the warrior from his mother. In his 19th year, while out on a day-trip, he returned to find his hometown burning and destroyed.

History: A studious child he never was much for a social life, not because he was unlikable, but because he did not seek it out. His mother was very strict, and drilled into him lessons on being the perfect gentleman. He has been saving his money to try and buy his sister's freedom.

Personality: He believes there is no problem he cannot solve with sufficient elbow grease and persistence, if it is the best or most economic solution matters not. His respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to him, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, he tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in his reactions to snap at those who irritate him, Tim is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: Robert hails from a village terrorized by giants. While he appears to be a normal Human, he's... not quite right. Perhaps he's slightly insane, or otherwise so mentally alien to the rest of the world that he plain doesn't fit in.
