Description: Standing 5'0", this man very much looks the part of a Herbalist. His hair is cut close to his head. His eyes are likewise blue. His teeth are yellowed and unaligned.

History: Gifted from a young age, Fivin studied abroad. Being born in the west, he completed his medical training abroad so as to avoid the war. He returned after the war having achieved medical proficiency.

To avoid death by starvation, most orphans take to a life of crime or prostitution (often both), and so did Thervan. Being a Banker kept his interest for a while, but then he became depressed and bored. So he turned to a secret life of crime, taking increasingly more risks and challenges.
