Description: A stocky darker skinned man, he is typically in his Blacksmith uniform. His hair is brown and curly. His gray eyes show the wear and tear of someone lonely with a great burden to carry.

History: He was raised happily, as a normal child born to his father and mother. His father taught him the rudiments of the Blacksmith arts, while his mother instructed him in etiquette, music and courtly manner. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the forest to a summer home near a ruined castle. He would wander through that ruined castle 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 forest due to the painful memories there. Rael took refuge in the ruined castle and found the beat up lance and armor he uses now. He now owns his own business.
