• This one doesn't speak much. In fact, no one he's ever encountered could say he's made a peep, not even a yelp of surprise or a cry of pain. He gives the impression of a ghost: pale as a sheet with white hair, colorless eyes, refusing to call any attention, and always silent. In fact, the first group of bumbling adventures he called friends at first thought he was living dead, injured and cowered in a ruined castle chamber among the corpses of the rest of a mercenary troupe. It wasn't until he scarfed down an entire sandwich in one bite that they believed him to be living.
  
  Despite his lack of voice, he possesses a practiced grace that assuredly labels him as a bard otherwise. He always has a saber at his side, both for defense and to wow crowds with his mastery of show-duels. The other object always at his ready is an ornate violin, which, when played, lulls listeners into perceiving the strangest illusions. The sound is enchanting and the long silences in between wholly deafening, leaving listeners entranced in the illustrated world until the final note is played, and the spell is broken. It would seem that he only garners attention while performing, and when he performs, he commands it.
  
  Those who choose to pay closer to attention to him outside of these moments may notice that he has some trouble eating... as though his habits were a bit dwarvish, or orcish. Although he does his best to conceal it with rolled-up sleeves, the sleeve hems of his shirts are almost always stained with whatever he last drank.
