Description: He is an average looking eastern male in his early mid-life. He wears a white tunic with green highlights, and long violet pants that bunch up around his shoes. His hair, while still mostly blonde, has prominent grey streaks. His blue eyes lackadaisically let the world flow into them.

Personality: He is intelligent and cunning, but he will too often allow his rage to get the better of him. He will lose his cool and rely on brute force to carry the day. His respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to him, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, he tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in his reactions to snap at those who irritate him, Paelias is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: His mother raised him in a mountain cabin. Through the years after Paelias was born, his father became increasingly distant from his family, instead choosing to pursue power in the east.
