A human shepherd, Corel is lean and tough as old leather. He is a quiet, reserved man who is respected by everybody on the village council. He does not speak very often, but when he does the entire room listens and carefully weighs his words. He is reasonably successful as a farmer and shepherd and runs his own operation on the hills near the western woods. He has been working on the hills surrounding Welton for most of his 50-something years and is an expert on the local geography.
