Description

A roughly shorn mane of sun-streaked golden hair, accompanied by a carpet of stubble, dominate this young man's features. His eyes -- a steely silver reminiscent of that western isle -- shine keenly beneath prominent brows that are a darker brand of blonde. The hard lines of his nose and lips give him a somewhat surly appearance that belies his youth; a youth made obvious by the smoothness of his skin, which is a rich shade of caramel.

He is tall, perhaps unusually so, and his build has the sinewed, wiry strength of the wild. It would seem that not much heed or care is given to his trappings -- splattered here and there with mud and fraying along the edges that see the most wear. Numerous layers are folded over his torso, which include a black shirt, a plain green tabard, and a brown jerkin. On a small black cord around his neck hangs a (hopefully) beast's tooth. Inclement weather finds him enveloped in a grey cloak of thick wool.

A brown belt houses two sheathed items -- a long sword and a shorter, curved dagger -- in addition to keeping a pair of knee-worn trousers secure at his hips. The pants are tucked into his boots, which are a tightly-laced deerhide in make.

Bree Backstory

Alfirin (known by most simply as Al') is the third and youngest child of two foreigners, Muirgheal and Rhifaroth (Seeker) Seregon-Coruceil. Brought to the village of Archet when only a newborn babe, Al' and his family settled into a cottage, and attempted (perhaps unsuccessfully) to assimilate into the town and the folk that lived there. Seeker, acknowledged by some as a Ranger, made his livelihood as a fletcher of arrows, and rebuilt the small home that his family inhabited. However, it was only a few years after their life had been established that Seeker was said to have disappeared entirely, the circumstances of which are neither known nor discussed. Left with her three children, Muirgheal raised them, though after some time it became apparent that another foreign woman, Uannve Oth, had taken up residence in their home and was also helping care for the children. The family is known to be strange and perhaps a bit secretive, and to have an affinity for carrying swords unnecessarily.

Al' had always kept very close company with his sister Caoimhe, and following her departure over the mountains at a young age with Brev Telartair, he grew increasingly broody and filled with adolescent secrecy. A few pennies may have gone missing here and there in Archet with the onset of this new attitude, but for the most part, his grievances were kept to himself, and he was often home late for supper, if he returned for the meal at all. At the age of sixteen, he too vanished from the village altogether -- some say it runs in the blood -- and there was no sight nor sound of him; few dared to ask Muirgheal or Uannve of his whereabouts. After the better part of four years, he returned in the company of his long-lost sister (some say coming up the Greenway from the south, others attesting to a path from the plains to the east). The two did not stay very long, however, and when they departed anew for the wilds unknown, their brother Elfaroth left the family cottage for the first time to come with them.

Tharbad Backstory

Al', as he is only known in those parts, first appeared in the ruins of Tharbad as a sixteen-year-old boy with a head of offensive blonde hair and a punky attitude. It didn't take long before he started carving a niche for himself among the few vagabonds and nefarious fellows that dared to inhabit the place at all. Swifter than he was strong, and more cunning and snide than most, he endeavored to provide for himself at first by snitching small items of value from camps and wanderers, but soon graduated to more valuable loots of passing trade caravans, and outright theft from other criminals. He was quite handy with a sword, and he gained a small following for a few years, but his reign was eventually challenged by a group of powerful thugs who hailed from Dunland to the south. They were attempting to accumulate wealth in order to bring a tribute to the annual festival at Kierkgard, and once they set eyes upon Al' and his forgoil-esque features, made it their business to exterminate him by any means possible.

Al', however, had other ideas. Though his comrades abandoned him (some even turning against him), he attempted to hold his own against the growing threat, and made one last grand gesture of defiance: succeeding in stealing a great portion of the Dunlending's money and tossing it into the Greyflood from the heights of the city's ruins, one coin at a time. Of course, this victory was short lived. He was soon waylaid by the men, and very nearly met his death as they held him down, and began to brutally stab him -- but the torch-holder's blunder of setting his comrade's hair afire allowed Al' an opportunity to escape, though gravely wounded. He fled Tharbad immediately, abandoning his dreams of thief-lord-dom, headed towards the Swanfleet, and has not been seen nor heard from since.
