Description: Wearing a closed helm and plate, one would not know what he was had he not made sure his armor was more form fitting than normal. Outside of the suit he wears a shirt that is too small, which lets his gut show, with a ratty grey coat over it. He wears a broad hat to cover his moderate length white hair. His ears are large.

Personality: He is erratic and paranoid. He believes brigands are coming to abduct people. He does not regard money as being a problem because it has never been a problem for him. He lives in a bit of an ivory tower believing all problems are one quick intervention away from being solved.

History: Sold as a small child to a necromancer, Riardon was an assistant, and all too frequently test subject. He eventually earned his freedom when his former master disappeared.

Personality: He tends to agree with only himself unless someone else's opinion sounds like he can profit from it. He tries to control his temper but he can't always stop himself from what he feels what must be done. He does suffer from mild PTSD, and the sight of dire rats may trigger it at times.

History: Born the oldest of a large religious southern family, he was no stranger to responsibility. Through the years after Rael was born, his mother became increasingly distant from his family, instead choosing to pursue power in the south.
