Backstory: Manthos are a well known merchants and craftsmen, the entire family lives from the bronze industry, some of them mining it, some smiting it, the others sale it.
Drum Manthos is the son of two bronze merchants, Mirna and Murn Manthos. They live in their modest house in Cuirlen town. Mirna and Murn are usually traveling to other settlements, with other members of the family, to bring raw materials and the sort.
Drum himself, as many of his familiars, works as an apprentice with Anakletos, the youngest elder of the Council. Once a month, Anakletos opens his shop to make repairs in armors and other bronze items, so all the apprentices take that chance to learn from him, and help him with the overwhelming task.
Drum is not as dumb as many of the other apprentices, and he usually make some interesting questions to Anakletos, about his participation in the Council, so the rather young councilperson, keeps Drum informed about the matters of the elders. The young bronze smith reserves most of his oppinions, but sometimes both master and apprentices, discuss such matters with the rhythmic sound of hammers over bronze.
Drum works all day long, smiting and shaping bronze in Anakletos forge, and when the sun goes down, he likes to wonder around the town, enjoying the fresh air of the late evening. Working in the forge, is both his work and his passion, since his artist vein is strong, he usually made details and figures in his works, even in the cheapest sword he creates: People usually said, showing this draws, "Look, Drum made this one!"
Apparence: Drums curly brown hair, is short, as is his beard, and the hair in his chest and arms. He resembles a bear more than a man. Although he has penetrating golden eyes, shows more than a towering brute. He is not the brightest, but he can handle most conversations.
His big hands are rough and hardened by his job, he usually looks at them, with some sadness in his eyes.
Quotes: "Aye chief!", "I'll handle it!", "I shall look about it!", "Work hard, eat a lot, death fear not!"
). Alternately, if you wanted, you can swap it for Sudden Extend now. Still a generic name, but the feat itself is more interesting.
Yeah, the names are greek/greek-inspired. I'm not requiring PCs to follow the naming scheme, but I like having consistent cultural themes for NPC names. I'll touch on the spirit-talker thing at the end.
