Rhal Sorenson
An elf in the wrong place at the wrong time, he had an interesting life. While celebrating the end of his apprenticeship to a local hedge wizard at a tavern, he got really drunk and was captured by slavers on his way home. He woke up in a mine in Thay, where he had the good fortune to meet a human slave by the name of Arclite.
The two set up an escape together, along with a couple of other prisoners, and began a life of adventure. The biggest adventure, of course, being to get out of the country before they were recaptured.
A natural archer, Rhal eventually combined wizardry and archery and became an Arcane Archer. During an altercation with a cabal of assassins that resulted in some inadvertent time travel, Rhal met the love of his life -- a female druid from several hundred years past. After saving her life and returning to the present, Rhal found the older elf and spent many years researching the magics to return her to (relative) youth.
Rhal finally retired with his newfound love in a castle that he and his old friend Arclite had restored after killing the former (lich) resident.
---------------
Rhal was a lot of fun, had a great rapport with the Rogue/Fighter/Shadowdancer in the party, and was MURDER with a bow in his hand.
All in all, one of the most fun characters I've ever played.
