Description: This dark-skinned male wears a tight fitting tan shirt and pants. He is tall, broad shouldered and powerfully built. His red hair is cut short. His thin eyebrows rest above his beady brown eyes.

Personality: Aramil hangs on like a leech to those who appreciate him. It was this clingy personality that held back his painting career. He is cautious and jumpy. He reacts to every sound and lacks any concept of subtlety.

History: A powerful brothel owner made him what he is. In his 15th year, while out on a day-trip, he returned to find his hometown burning and destroyed. He found his father impaled in their home, and his mother beheaded. He saw the man who walked out, and charged him in a blind rage. The man easily evaded and defeated him, leaving him to live broken and terrified. Some 10 years later his spouse died after the birth of his son. Heartbroken, Aramil never married again. Instead he focused his life to raising his son whom he trained as his father had trained him before.
