fairly short even for a halfling, with unkempt black hair, short sideburns, a deep tan, and brown eyes.  He travels somewhat light but well-armed, with a bright chainmail shirt largely concealed by a gray vest, two short staves hanging from his backpack, and a pair of small blades sheathed at his belt.  A small quiver of arrows is strapped to the outer side of his left foreleg, the quiver extending almost to his hip.The halfling's backpack does not look especially full, and only one small but wide pouch adorns the back of his belt.  He wears some nice, tanned-leather gloves, well-worn black leather boots, plain brown trousers, and a dark green shirt that's only visible at the sleeves thanks to his vest and armor.Personality: Warren struggles to maintain the warrior's discipline that his mentor taught him, so he's usually honorable and reliable, though occasionally acting purely out of self-interest.  He keeps to his word, but prefers not to promise anything in the first place.  Greedy and proud of his talents, Warren is always looking to acquire treasure and glory for himself, though he's willing to share some of it, thanks to the influence of his original halfling community.Warren is used to cooperating with other folks, and prefers to work alongside other people who have skills that complement his own, but doesn't forge many long-term bonds.  He doesn't concern himself much with the welfare of others, but will fight for them if he's getting paid for it, and on rare occasions might even do so without payment.  Warren likes to explore and wander from place to place, seeking new opportunities and only staying in one place for a few months at a time, as he figures that people who stay still never get to have any real fun or make any significant discoveries.  He's always searching for chances to advance himself.Background: A treasure-hunter and explorer of ruins, Warren has spent the past several years wandering the land in search of riches, fame, and secret lore.  Primarily motivated by greed and pride, Warren has braved dangerous caves and catacombs on his own and alongside various temporary allies.  So far he's only managed to plunder a few minor magic items and a handful of old coins, and a little bit of old lore on dwarven and elven fighting techniques, to supplement what he learned from another halfling swordsage in his youth.Warren grew up as part of a nomadic halfling community, so he's used to traveling around as a way of life.  When a halfling warrior visited the community for a week, the young Warren took an interest in the man's stories and unusual tricks, bugging him for a few days until the older halfling, Orlane, allowed Warren to prove his worth as a student.  Warren passed Orlane's tests of agility, cleverness, prudence, and basic swordsmanship, so the teenaged halfling was accepted as an apprentice.  He followed the swordsman Orlane for several years, adopting part of his mentor's philosophy and discipline for himself but preferring to continue pursuit of bright gold and rare treasures.In time this lead to Orlane dismissing Warren as a student, and Warren has wandered alone for many years since.  His occasional partnerships with other adventurers have been brief, and only motivated by a mutal need for aid to obtain treasure from dangerous places.  Warren desires personal power and glory, but struggles to reconcile those selfish goals with the more-communal greater good that his elders and parents had once tried to teach him.  For now, glory and wealth remain his immediate goals, along with the pursuit of secrets and special techniques to better achieve those goals.Miscellaneous Notes: The party currently has two warhorses, a light and a heavy, serving as mounts and pack animals.  Siobhan or Pender rides the heavy warhorse and Warren rides the light warhorse, which he has named Serrin, and shares the horse with others to rest their feet and keep the equine under control, since Warren is so small and has no experience at horsemanship.  Warren keeps his backpack in Serrin's saddlebags most of the time to lighten his load.Attacks:Short sword +13 melee for 1d4+6
