Triton Vanmiel

Triton Vanmiel

Elf Ranger

Origins:

Brak grew up in Farrok to noble and powerful parents, Bren Greystone and Marloh Tarran.

Upbringing:

As he went through his childhood, he only excelled at getting in to trouble. Sometimes the brawls were his fault but often he was trying to do right (against a bully, for example) but that mattered little to disciplined authority of Dwarven society and, most of all, his parents.

Unlike his older brother Brek, Brak is not skilled at crafting or mining and lacks a business sense. He is a very capable fighter but that matters little to his parents and brother; they are also skilled in combat but they can do more to further Dwarven society besides splitting skulls.

Brak and Brek's parents separated early in Brak's adolescence. They remain powerful figured in Dwarven society but have bitter feeling toward one and other. They prefer not to have to deal with one and other unless necessary but sometimes issues in Dwarven society force them back in to each other lives.

Current day:

Brak currently works for a trading company that ships various Dwarven goods out of Farrok. It is his job to protect the cargo from brigands and pirates. This takes him away from Farrok on a regular basis so he has seen a fair bit of the world. Note also that this company is a smaller, up-and-coming trading group that competes with the one that Bren partly owns and Brek works for.

Character

Brak is strong, tough and quite tall for a Dwarf. He is usually clad in animal hides and wields a gouge, which is a two-handed spear/axe. Relishing combat, he likes to charge into the fray and sometimes flies into an terrifying rage on the battlefield.

Elven Ranger

Triton's father Ardoron was a member of the Tragadine army and was killed 5 years ago during the attack. He was among the defenses that remained while Armil ran the training exercises. Triton would have followed in his father's footsteps but hates the orcs/ogres and definitely would not work with Armil since he is a traitor. Triton makes a living taking on odd and sometimes criminal jobs, particularly if the victims are orcs and ogres.

Triton grew up in Verhan and currently resides in Tragador.

Description

Triton is 5 foot 10 inches and is quite slender, weighing only 150 pounds. He has a long face and what some might call a "lean and hungry look". His long brown falls ahead and behind his (typically) elven ears. Triton usually wears gear suitable for adventuring and sometimes a big cloak to hide the items he is carrying when he should not be. It is pretty hard to hide a greatbow though...

Stats/abilities

High dex, low str with a greatbow and a hawk beast companion named Socrates. Arrows and more arrows...

Triton has allied himself with Orson, the second cousin of the king, and a group who wish to free Tragadine from Ogre/Orc rule. He is also working with Armil, who he no longer believes is a traitor. This alliance and the fact that a member of the royal family is alive is a secret.

Triton and his companions have been sent on an errand as cover for an opportunity to... (d'oh, this is where Mike's memory gets hazy...)
