Shelton idolized his father who patrolled the lands of the realm as a ranger. Shelton loved to hear the stories his father and the lord's soldiers would tell about fighting off occasional bandits, outlaws, invaders and maybe even a few goblins or gnolls. Malinda was very proud of her husband and encouraged Shelton's worship of him, knowing that one day he would surpass his father's great deeds. This was further amplified by Shelton's natural abilities as a ranger. Shelton could not have been more eager for the day after he turned 14, when he got to go on patrol with his father and the realm's soldiers. A few hours into the patrol, Geoff found signs of hunters in a section of the land not sanctioned for it. The patrol immediately began to hunt the invaders, but things did not go as planned. The patrol was ambushed and attacked by a powerful group of mercenaries. The battle was brutal and the soldiers and rangers stood little chance against the band of killers. The massacre was quick. Geoff's first concern was Shelton's safety, before he was struck down he told Shelton to escape and not look back. But, after watching his father, his hero, killed before him, Shelton went into shock and sat motionless at his father's body. When the mercenaries moved in to ransack the corpses, Shelton charged the man trying to loot his father. The large man, with long brown hair, wild eyes and dark colored armor and robes knocked Shelton to the ground and looted his unconscious body too.Shelton returned home the next day, carrying his father's lifeless body. He also led a patrol out to recover the rest of the dead. When the lord of the realm met Shelton to offer his condolences and an opportunity to serve as a ranger, Shelton flatly refused all such offers and returned home to tend to his mother's house.Malinda tried everything she could think of to return Shelton to the life he had dreamed of, but nothing seemed to work. She even tried to entice him by buying the finest equipment and weapons she could find. At this point he began to hunt again, but only for provisions.One year after Geoff's death, several soldiers stopped to check on Shelton and Malinda.. Talk soon turned to events in Cataya and the threat the greenskins posed to it. Shaelton was in disbelief that the king would have to offer to pay all comers to protect his people. It was during this conversation that Shelton decided to travel to Cataya to help protect it's people and lands.Although overwhelmed by the intensity of war (this was not like the stories he had heard of stopping poachers or ruffians), Shelton proved himself to be a strong fighter. Unfortunately, the greenskins numbers proved to be too much for Cataya's defenders. One moment Shelton was preparing to be overrun by a mass of greenskins, the next he was coming to in some temple. Did someone say the king was here...</blockquote>
