Background:
When Calecan was very young up in a village in the North, the village was raided by Drow. His parents and many of the villagers were killed, and he was taken prisoner, presumably to be sacrificed.
While traveling back to the underdark, Calecan proved to be far more resistant that the drow imagined. Screaming and struggling the whole way, he then broke free and ran away. One drow pursued him. The drow caught up with him, and fed up, decided to kill the boy then and there. He was raising his sword for hte kill when out of nowhere came and a whirling bola, which strangled the drow, and freed Calecan.
The rescuer, and lone villager, warrior, and adventurer, named Arn, took the boy as his son. Together they travelled throughout the North in search of adventure. He trained him in the the fighting arts, and in skills necessary for adventure. They occasionally joined parties that ventured into the underdark.
Calecan has never forgotten the event that scarred his childhood. He occasionally has nightmares about it. He grew up with a deep hatred of hte drow. He has since tempered his views slightly, but still views all drow with suspicion and dislike.
Arn, being much older than the boy, eventually retired, and settled in his home village in the North. He gave Calecan one item, his bola, an ancestral gift. Arn trained Calecan in the use of his Bola, a weapon he was a great expert in.
Extraordinary ability/item (all details to be approved/modified by the DM of course):
Calecan's bola is a masterwork weapon. His mastery of it allows him to use his DEX bonus to make trip attacks. Calecan may also use the the bola to entagle victems as if they are hit by a net (i.e. he aims for the body rather than the legs).
(If you'll allow it, can I assume he can use this weapon w/o the EWF? IF not, no biggie.; If you doen't like the idea of this weapon, I can think of something else. I was thinking of possibly one of the exotic whips in EN Arsenal--Whips. The main idea is an exotic weapon, which he larned to use from his adoptive father.)
