Background
Spoiler
Show
Born in the town of Streissen, Averland, Severin Cinderhill comes from a long line of free thinkers. Like many in Streissen, he cleaved to radical ideals and joined a conspiracy to free his home from the rule of the Elector Count. He even joined the Messengers' Guild with the aim of gathering intelligence to help the cause. But that was twenty years ago, and his revolutionary spirit has dampened considerably in the intervening years.
Not that any of that matters much any more – Severin is no longer a member of the Messengers' Guild. Six months ago, a witness he was escorting was abducted and killed. In the aftermath, evidence came to light suggesting that Severin had sold the location of the witness to his enemies, a crime for which he faced expulsion from the guild and being barred from ever working as a messenger again. Severin protested, insisting that he was being set up, but to no avail – after twenty years of loyal service, he was out on his ear.
And so here he is, slowly guiding his pony through the passes to the Border Princes, hoping to start afresh where no one has ever heard of Severin Cinderhill – and probably wouldn't care even if they had.
Personality
Spoiler
Show
Tough and dependable, Severin doesn't frighten easily and is always willing to muck in and do his part, but he also understands that the world is an inherently unfair place, especially when it comes to the Little Folk. This makes him pragmatic when things aren't going his way. While he certainly isn't prone to despair, when faced with strong opposition he's more likely to step aside than he is to take a stand. After all, there's a whole wide world out there, with plenty of places to go where one's current troubles can't or won't follow.
Appearance
Spoiler
Show
Fifty-two years old, Severin stands 4'2” tall and weighs 125 lbs., making him an unusually tall and solidly built Halfling. His features are unexpectedly harsh as well – with a square jaw, a flattened nose, and a knife scar that runs from beneath his left eye to his chin, Severin has been mistaken for a pint-sized street brawler more than once. The impression is only slightly softened by his light brown hair, friendly smile, and clear blue eyes.
Severin likes the colour blue, so his tunics are often that colour, but since he spends a lot of time outdoors and riding, he is usually found decked out in durable leather riding gear topped off with a wide-brimmed hat. In his time on the roads of the Empire he's also seen enough violence to always keep a weapon close at hand. His favourite is a Tilean bar mace he calls Kneecapper.
