Immortal Bard

His true name lost when he gained immortality (agelessness, rather), the Bard was part of the adventuring party that survived the Final Battle of the Cataclysm War and led the surviving refugees south to found Kaelthia. Since then he has wandered restlessly, looking for new sights and sensations. Well, that and fleeing any form of responsibility or commitment. Some wags calculate that he's related to half of the half-elves of the Council Lands. In fact, it's common for a mother who does not wish to publicly state the father of her child to claim him as Bard's-get. Orphans whose names are not known are tagged with the family name of Bardsyn, which has become synonymous with illegitimacy or unsanctioned parentage.

Pre-211: He only rarely gets involved in the Council's affairs, but seems to pop up at inconvenient times for those scheming for power. Most of the powerful people believe that he has some way of teleporting back to Kaelthia as well as a well-developed spy network. It's known that Brightsong Dovara is his daughter and the lyricists are assumed to be working for him. The rest of the Council (with the exception of the Mining representatives) dislikes him strongly and often act spitefully towards those who claim his favor. He also has massive quantities of blackmail on all the important people of the land and can spread rumors like none else.

Post-211: After the Treaty of Rauviz, the Bard has not been seen much. Those that have seen him say that he has become much more hardened and bitter.

Demographic Information

The Bard is a young-seeming half-elf, seemingly careless and happy-go-lucky. His hair and beard are brown and short. He stands about 6' tall and is slender and graceful. Only his green eyes betray his age. They're constantly scanning the surroundings and noting everything that happens. He dresses in simple clothes except for his capes, which are all long, billowing (as if enchanted) and extravagant. Mechanically he's a low tier 2 bard with a collection of magical gewgaws and tricks he's picked up here and there.

Personality

Whenever I come to a new place, I collect local rumors and spread gossip.

Ideal

Freedom. Chains are meant to be broken, as are those who would forge them.

Bond

Marcialine is my responsibility. She got hurt trying to save me. I will protect her until she wakes up, however long that takes.

Flaw

I hate to admit it and will hate myself for it, but I'll run and preserve my own hide if the going gets tough.
