In a fight he takes the high ground and the longbow, marking the most dangerous foe and putting an arrow through it before it can do harm; out of one, he scouts, tracks and slips into whatever role gets the party where they need to be — a merchant, an Imperial officer, whatever the moment demands. ## Backstory How one of the last true elves of [[Valtorra]] came to be aboard a slave ship, and what he has forgotten of who he once was, is a story still unfolding — and his own to tell.
