History: He was born a particularly ugly child, much to the horror of his parents. While he appears to be a normal Elf, he's... not quite right.

Personality: Cocky and sure of himself, he believes he is the best Merchant born in the past three hundred years. He is stubborn though. He always likes to keep a trick up his sleeve. He likes to fight dirty and will kick and punch below the belt if he feels he even has a chance of losing.

History: Trained by his father for as long as he can remember he had it drilled in his head that it was his duty to serve his country. Koeth was born on a far northern desert where he grew up under the tutelage of his father, an expert Merchant. He's also a talented Bather, but doesn't like to broadcast it.
