Character is updated with a new description and reason for Hardak. Not really much of a background at this point; I guess I could string a bunch of cliches together or something, but I'm not feeling very inspired, and there's nothing about Sanje that really suggests that something happened to him in his upbringing or whatever that made him who he is. Feel free to make up friends or family or whatever if you need something for the story, I won't complain. I could come up with something if it's really important.
As for meeting the other characters, Sanje is staying in town because 1) he's looking for quick cash, and 2) he's looking for a book. So he'll probably meet a few people around town (if it's not a problem, he'll have already been here for two weeks or so), and maybe agree to going with a couple others who want to investigate the mine or what-have-you.
