Personality: He does not care much for physical appearances, nor does he care much for other people. He does however care about what he wants and getting it. He does not trust anyone and sleeps with one eye open.

History: Born to a pair of adventurers, Aelar grew up listening to his mother's many stories. 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. Aelar took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up longbow and armor he uses now. He hasn't been sleeping well lately.
