Needs some more work, but in a nutshell:
[sblock=Description and History]
Ersarkess lost his village to monsters. He survived due luck as the house collapsed and trapped him inside, but hid him from the invaders.
[MENTION=552]Creamsteak[/MENTION], this may need to change if there are not supernatural monsters at all

Once upon a time, a boy came over strange item in the forest. Idling his summers away, curious boy knew surroundings of his village very well. In the village inn, he always listened to travellers stories even if sometimes he had to sneak in. Thus he heard stories of happenings worlds away. So, when he found the gleaming metal shape in the middle of the forest, supported by stone that looked like it grew from the ground rather than being built, he knew he found his own adventure. He was cautious, observing it first, looking as small animals approached it and even through some things at it. Returning over the course of the week, he tried everything and anything he could think of. He talked to it, touched it, looked for hidden latches, poked it with wood, stone and metal. One day he slept right next to it. Yet nothing happened. As the days passed, he grew bored. Finally, in frustration, he kicked the stone under the thing and to his surprise, it broke off and the metallic things fell over the leafs and branches on the forest floor. And still, nothing happened. The boy huffed and stomped off. That night, there was a storm and terrible wailing filled the night. The lightning started fires, screams started and people ran around trying to see what is happening, to flee or defend their homes. His own home collapsed over Ersarkess and he lost consciousness. When he woke up, everyone was dead or missing. The village destroyed. He called, searched and cried. As the sun rose higher, he went into the forest to the item he kicked over earlier. There was nothing. No trace the item ever was. Ersarkess blamed himself. Returning to the village, he waited for someone to come along.

Next visitors, guards from the local lords found the boy sitting in the ruins, waiting for them. When questioned, the boy just said "Monsters did this." in a quiet, eerily calm voice. The guards took him with them, but the boy unnerved them. He looked at the weapons, his brows would furrow as he concentrated on the little details of their lives, sharpening weapons, polishing armor, caring for horses...when they returned with the report, the boy was given into the priestly care. The library had many wonderful tomes about the times forgotten, magic, monsters and items of power. He read them all, doing his chores without complaint just to be able to read.
He grew up an intense young man with strange interest in the occult. Whenever there was a report of strange happenings, he was there with the guards to investigate. He devoted his years to fighting the monsters, collecting bits and pieces of knowledge to fight them better. In time, he became good at getting into various repositories of lore, jealously guarded by churches, academies or learned lords and ladies. The knowledge gained would send him away to investigate a ruin, a tomb or consult with a sage. He maintains contacts in various cities and receives reports from wide network of spies. At one point he learned he was part elven as he consulted with an elven sage. In time, he found out who his mother was, but also found out she died and nobody knows how or why, just that she went into human lands and never came back. His mission in life remains unchanged, find the artifact that destroyed his village.

Occasionally, he would catch a wind of some ancient find and would hurry to see what could be salvaged.

Ersarkess learned to be cautious with his knowledge, not everyone reacts well to 'witchcraft rituals' or 'dark knowledge' he occasionally references. He is somewhat jaded, but still tries to find the best in people. Too light, too intense eyes betray his heritage. His life of loneliness and tomb raiding led him to hard earned lesson: have a plan for every eventuality and every plan needs a failsafe.

When he learned about Ashwell, he went there as fast as he could.

BACKGROUND
Far Traveler
Feature
Your accent, mannerisms, figures of speech, and perhaps even your appearance all mark you as foreign. Curious glances are directed your way wherever you go, which can be a nuisance, but you also gain the friendly interest of scholars and others intrigued by far-off lands,
to say nothing of everyday folk who are eager to hear stories of your homeland. You can parley this attention into access to people
and places you might not otherwise have, for you and your traveling companions. Noble lords, scholars, and merchant princes, to name a few, might be interested in hearing about your distant homeland and people.
Trait: I have a strong code of honor or sense of propriety that others don't comprehend.
Ideal: Reserved As someone new to these strange lands, I am cautious and respectful in my dealings.
Bond:I was bested by another fighter i must get stronger
Flaw: I sometimes come across as being aggressive when i do not intend to

Raghnall lived a happy life in the Jiüanti steppe moving with the seasons to allow the cattle ample grazing, occasionally heading to war it was a good life and Raghnall became a mighty warrior, perhaps the mightiest in the steppe. Raghnall did not flaunt his combat prowess however in fact he Raghnall disliked killing he found it wasteful to throw ones life away and would offer mercy whenever he could this set him apart from his brethren who relished in killing. On the occasions Raghnall has to kill he takes part in the ritual of Swazond marking him carrying the weight of his kills forward with him.

Things changed when one day a man from a far off land appeared where his tribe was currently camped he stayed with Raghnall's people for some time learning from there culture and Raghnall picked up some of his strange tongue. On the day this stranger from a strange land left the tribal camp he challenged Raghnall to a sparing match and thoroughly trounced him. Ever since that day Raghnall has become obsessed with becoming stronger so he could track down and beat this stranger in armed Combat, so Raghnall set of to this strange place of Ashwall hearing of the things beneath a perfect opportunity to gain strength.

Physical Appearance:
Tobin is an average sized elf. He is a youngling, being only 85 years old. He has black hair, with green eyes. His complexion is creamy white, which one would expect from someone who spends at much time pouring over old tomes as he does.


Backstory:
Thael came grew in the forests surrounding xxx, hidden from the surrounding human lands. He had a simple and happy childhood in the forest, but his thirst of knowledge brought him to the high elven town of XXXX to study a a young age. No tragedy or twist of fate landed him on the doorstep of the library, simply an unending curiosity about anything and everything. Poor of coin and devoid of any marketable craft skills, Thael elected to join the priesthood of the temple that oversaw The Great Library. He spent many years pouring over old tomes on the arcane, history, religions, and anything else he could get his hands on.

If he had been able to, Thael would have become a wizard. Alas, this was for those of ages past, for the world's magic was now fickle, until now.

The elves, quite cunning, kept abreast of Human developments. This is how Thael learned of the developments in Ashwell. The moment he had heard of the town and what was happening, he knew that he needed to go there.

Upon arriving in the human lands, Thael found that that people refer to him as a "schoolman" almost like a curse. They're very suspicious, but never outright insulting. They fear you, and don't openly oppose you, but you can tell when you sit down in the tavern they talk about you, but never to your face.

Background
Born in a cliffside fishing village in Nron, the son of a fisherman, Ebhan learned his father's trade. Uncontent with his family's meager income, he would climb the high cliffs near his home to collect seabird's eggs from the nests there and sell them in the markets. This is where he met, and years later, married his wife, Abonny, who comes from a family of ropemakers. On marriage, Ebhan joined that clan, learning the trade (though his skills are best used in trade deals). As a youth, he met Dhamion, and they became friends, sparring to improve Ebhan's meager, but quickly improving, sword skills, and inventing maneuvers that they could perform in tandem.
When Dhamion chose to return to his homeland, Ebhan convinced his wife and brother-in-law, Maycen, that Ashwell would be an excellent place to sell rope, and the four of them moved to Ashwell to work the market there. But really, Ebhan plans to find treasure in the depths that will raise his family to greater status. That and help his friend.
