Balasar trained in with the greatest teachers of martial prowess of the current age, fought in undeclared wars in the march-lands, and is the heir to a centuries-old tradition of swordplay. These days, however, he is more likely to be found in a flophouse or taven, drinking his last few coppers away.

An encounter with a halfling pickpocket was the unlikely turning point for Balasar; instead of mulling over past glories, he was out in the wide world again. Clean, committed to rooting out corruption wherever it may lurk.

Thunderspire Labyrinth was never the same after Balasar and his comrades had been there for some time. A pact with a band of Minotaurs who sought to reclaim the Labyrinth not for Baphomet, but for Erathis, brought them into conflict with many of the evil denizens of the underground. In the end an uneasy truce was reached, but Balasar began to tire of the constant conflict in his life.

After many years secluded in a meditational retreat, Balasar has found that he cannot avoid his destiny. The very fabric of existence is under threat, and only the greatest of the great can contend against the forces arrayed against life itself. That and Bunny has been talking to bits of jewellery...
Description:
6' 6'' tall, broad-shouldered, serious expression. His scale armour has a somewhat Chinses feel to it:
Image and his greatsword is similar in style to the nodachi: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Nodachi.jpg"[/url]Image[/url].
As he progresses through the higher levels, his gear becomes more ornate. His expression also changes from world-weary to idealistic (perhaps overly so) to serious even serene at the highest level.
