A wiry, fox-eyed street urchin with a ferret in his coat and a thief’s instincts in his blood, Karol has never known who he truly is—only that he isn’t who others assume. Raised on scraps, half-truths, and hard lessons, he survives on charm, cunning, and quiet defiance. His earliest memories are fogged with half-remembered woods and unfamiliar faces, and his name, like everything else, is something he picked up along the way.
Despite his rough beginnings, Karol has already stared down horrors that would break grown men. When goblins descended on the children of
Guthram, dragging them into the dark woods to serve the sinister Goatman and his unseen
Faerie mistress, Karol stood alongside the likes of
Kitt,
Astra,
Nilus, and
Heinrik. Together, they braved quicksand,
Ogres, faerie snares, and enchantments, ultimately defeating the Goatman and returning home as unlikely heroes. Yet Karol’s gaze has always been fixed beyond the village edge—toward roads where gold gleams and stories grow darker.
Recently, Karol returned from a harrowing—and some might say flamboyant—adventure in the mountain town of
Narthwich, where he traveled alongside the silver-tongued traveling merchant
Jakov Novik. Jakov, whose talents include elixir-peddling, relic-dealing, and more than a little fast-talking, has taken a shine to the boy. Under Jakov’s dubious mentorship, Karol has begun honing the talents of a rogue: cunning, sleight of hand, a dangerous charm, and an instinct for when to keep your head down… or when to step up and play the part.
Whatever they did in Narthwich left the two of them fleeing across the countryside with the wind at their backs and silver in their purses. Jakov insists it was all perfectly legal. Karol, for his part, isn’t answering too many questions.
He may be young, but Karol is no one’s fool. He keeps his secrets close, his blades closer,. Beneath the bluff and bravado however is something stranger still— but those are secrets Karol has yet to entrust to another soul.
