Whistler is posted in our Rogue's Gallery thread. I should note, Argent... Whistler's male.
I've really played up the Western aspect of this in my head, the dusty frontier towns, alternately suspicious/grateful townsfolk, showdowns. Sad to say, one of my all time favorite westerns is Rustler's Rhapsody. If you haven't seen it I highly reccommend it. It's a western spoof, but it nails everything. Blazing Saddles Schmazing Saddles, I say. Up Rustler's Rhapsody - On Wildfire, On!
Uriel, I hope you realize, that if Whistler ever has a horse/mount, it will have to be named Wildfire.

Well, I still haven't managed to get a stat block up because I still haven't found a way to get an insectile, feral kobold rogue to be anything but worthless.
I fear I may have to scrap that idea. Besides, my plan to have him take the multitasking feat received some serious setbacks in that it requires 15 INT and the feral template costs 4 INT. It require 9 base attack which as rogue would be an incredibly long time. And it requires both multiattack AND multiweapon fighting which is a waste of feats of which again the rogue has only a few.
Ah well. C'est la vie.
Retrofit.
Human Feral Insectile Fighter
19 17 16 10 12 14
Multiweapon Fighting
Quick Draw
Weapon Focus Light Pick
Thinking of a human fighter nicknamed "Mantis" for his affinity for light picks, wronged a scion, cursed, brought out his latent mutations and now he holds a form similar to that of his namesake.
Haven't got a way yet to work him into the group.
Trying to hurry to finalize something.

He looks good at a glance, except for the fact that he will be dead by Fall.
Sorry, I raise Praying mantids, and they have about a 9 months cycle, unless some hungry female gets to them, then it is a bit shorter.
BTW, if he is a Mantis, he has a fairly 'normal-looking' ,albeit large eye.
No multi-faceted 'bug' appearance.
Folks have remarked on how freakish mantids are, they are the only insect that can turn their head completely around, they preen like a cat,they have one ear*,the only animal in the world with only one ear,btw.
*: Used,oddly enough,to thwart the radar of bats.
Feat
Befuddle the Bat
prereq: Wis 12+,Insectile(Mantis) Template
Effect: You have the ability to disrupt the radar of bats and similar creatures.
The Blindsense Ability is negated within 30 feet of you.
