Appearance: Zook is a perpetually cheerful gnome man with a face lined only by smile lines. Though his hair is naturally ruddy brown and his eyes a sapphire blue, he has a great deal of fun using disguises to look just a bit different every day. Whether this is just a different hairstyle, or adding a mole, to changing the color of his skin or eyes, he tries something new each day. When traveling, he wears a set of sturdy banded mail and bears a wooden shield with a blank face. If there’s need, he will quickly paint some appropriate device on the shield to help aid his disguise.

Personality: There’s rarely a time (when not playing a role) that Zook is not smiling. Life is an enormous joke and riddle, and though the going is sometimes rough, there’s no need not to enjoy it whenever possible! Zook sees himself emulating Garl Glittergold by protecting those young rogues that might not have gotten enough experience yet. He often tries to use words to persuade the authorities that they’re quite mistaken about that “innocent young man,” and then will turn right around and help tutor the youngling in better thieving techniques once the watch is gone.

Background: Zook grew up in one of the larger cities, the eldest of four children (two brothers and a sister). With his parents often very busy at their own business, Zook was often put in charge of his siblings. Many times he would help entertain them by staging harmless but highly amusing pranks on merchants, such as hiding their goods, putting dye in their wash water, or slipping sour berries into their wine.

But when Zook’s parents fell on hard times as their business folded, Zook took it upon himself to organize his siblings to liberating a splash of gold from those that had far too much. Many times when his younger brothers or sister ran afoul of the authorities, Zook would be the one that used words to get them free. Eventually with the children’s help, his parents were able to reopen their business with much better prospects. By this time Zook was getting big enough to leave home, and went off on his own road.

Inevitably he found himself helping other rogues and thieves like he had helped his siblings. He realized he was doing much as Garl Glittergold was said to do to help his people, and from that day forward his faith blossomed.

Bio:
Aldermark was not so much a village as a handful of earthen huts clustered around a watering hole on an old hunting trail. Not large enough to appear on most maps, it was named so by its inhabitants because of its location amidst a grove of alder trees. It was from here that Goven hailed. Of average height and build, there was little about him to cause him to stand out from the other men in his company, especially now that he was clad in the same studded leather armor as they. Hair brown as the earth, eyes the green of the leaves in the forest set against a plain-if handsome-face.

He had come into the Warden's service first as a guide, employed by patrols and scouts on excursions into the borderlands between Rogan and Goruka. Later, after having spent a fair amount of time in the company of a particular band of scouts-the ones with whom he now served, in fact-he had become as much a part of the company as any of them. He had shown them secrets of these wilderlands, and they in turn had undertaken to instruct him in martial pursuits.

He was a decent hand with a sword, but he had shown a remarkable proficiency with the battleaxe. So like the axe with which he had cut wood for years, yet so much more finely balanced, an instrument of death rather
than a tool of the woodsman. He had put that battleaxe to good use on many an orc-hunting expedition into the northern wilds.

Aside from this, he carried a curved Kukri and a smaller hand axe. These he occasionally employed as weapons, but were kept more as tools, the kukri for hacking through dense foliage, and the smaller axe for cutting wood in the field. A small wooden shield secured on his back completed his equipment, other than the normal camping and travelling supplies he carried in his pack.

Having something of an affinity with animals, he had taken to horsemanship as well as any, and he stood now beside Brinsey, his mount, a light warhorse with a coat nearly the same brown as it's master's hair. Brinsey had served him well, and he had taken a liking to the creature

As he came to excel in the art of battle, he was entrusted by the Warden
with more and greater responsibilities, until the day came when he was summoned befor the warden to receive orders for a mission of great importance. He now bid his companions farewell and made his preparations to appear before Warden Ricsten...

Family (in Aldermark)
--Garrival-father (deceased); served as a scout for the previous warden of Carodan, was nicknamed "the Wolf"
--Tormey-mother
--Berold-uncle
--Shelm-younger brother (10 years old)
--Ceth-childhood friend and neighbor
--may have relatives or friends in Warden's service at DM's discretion
**feel free to include any or none of these characters as you see fit**

Personality
Quiet, softspoken, a little unsure of himself, hesitant to speak out, he tries to exude an aura of quiet competence. Although he enjoys working with his company of scouts, he has never really felt like one of them, since they are mostly regulars and he is something of an outsider they took in. He is friendly with them but has few if any real friends among them. His father's previous service helps to ameliorate his anxiety somewhat, especially when dealing with superiors, who still remember his father as an able scout. Friendly to others but rarely taking any kind of lead role, preferring to go along with others and avoid potential conflicts within the group. He will take sides in an argument if needed, offering his opinion, but rarely to the point of taking a stand against the majority without a stronger personality of the same opinion speaking out with him. He doesn't have much appreciation for humor, mostly because he sometimes has trouble telling when someone is joking with him. He enjoys being called upon to perform tasks related to his fields of expertise, as he feels it increases his standing in the eyes of others. In battle he exhibits great courage for the same reason. He is quick to form strong attachments with those who are friendly to him or perform some kindness for him (attachments which are often stronger than the other party feels in return).

Appearance: Manzanita is an attractive elf, although the lines on her face would indicate that she doesn’t smile much. She was named after the Manzanita tree because of her golden complextion and blond hair. She wears a dark grey cloak and tunic of light grey.

Background: Manzanita feels that she has suffered much. Her early life was peaceful enough, and she embraced the academic rigor of wizardry and law. Her exceptional intelligence allowed her to train in both. But when the wars started, the lands of the grey elves were not spared. She saw many of her people slain, and barely excaped with her own life when her town was assaulted. Now embracing only magic, as a weapon of vengeance and justice, she gladly accepted the strange note and rode off the meet the caravan.

Dunathar was a member of the clan Steelhammer, a proud family of miners and artisans, living embodyment of the most pure dwarven way of life: hard work, respect for elders, and loyalty to the clan. Dunathar turned to be the family´s black sheep; though talented, his capacities were oriented to the wrong kind of things. That things were, well, himself. As he grew up, his distaste for the clan´s laws did the same: not that he thinks they are stupid or not useful, following them blindly is. This kind of personal philosophy finally clashed with the rest of the clan and he was stripped from his family name and exiled. Now, he sees a way to amass as much money as he can, with the secret hope of being allowed back if he becomes rich enough.

Dunathar looks like your typical dwarf, except for the lack of heavy armor and weapons and that he carefully trimmers his black beard and tries to show as much wealth as possible.
