Shadow World

Player: Fred aka Vaxalon aka Fried_Wookiee

Background:Okhfels was born in one of the poorer families of Teth Hold. After being seduced and abandoned by one of Teth Hold's wealthier women, he set out into the world to make his fortune. He fell in with a mercenary band that worked the Scorpion Ridge, where he learned most of his skills. The band was wiped out (all except Okhfels, as far as he knows) in the hills north of Green Lake, by Riani tribesmen of the Blue Bear tribe.

Description:Okhfels is a big, BIG man, with muscles and MORE muscles. His red hair and fair skin are usually stained with sweaty soot, though his teeth are clean and straight. His features look rough-hewn, bold and angular. His hair is not terribly long, but even so it's wildly unruly. He lacks significant face or body hair. There's a scar on his chest where a rough stone was placed under his skin. He carries a truly gigantic iron sword when there's trouble brewing, and has a suit of leather armor with a few steel plates here and there for battle.

Goals: Okhfels has pledged to defend Isadora's dream of winning independence for Green Lake.
