Education
Ron's time in The Badlands taught him many things, some he carries with him now, others that aren't quite as suited to his "civilized" life.
He attained all of his skills in writing and persuasiveness from tutors bought and paid for by Reginald Von Halen, not too long after he got the position of Gambler, under Varen.
Employment
When he isn't dealing with matters directly pertaining to The Collector's interests as it's Jack, Ron can be found as an itinerant mercenary for hire for varying price points. There are very few jobs Ron won't take, as his beliefs emphasize that a wide range of experiences and skills makes one evolve into a more robust being.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Survived in The Badlands for a long while. Some would say under The Earthbraka Clan, he even learned to thrive in its horrible wastes.
Has played a key role in numerous conflicts, Between the disputes of lizardfolk tribes, to gang wars between merchant lords and thieves guilds, to wars between the nation of Orde and The False Coven seeking to overthrow her. Has even worked for The Empress of The Shadowfell to stop a rebellion... though the details are muddy at best.
Of recent, he has created a company of his fellows, commited to the recovery of artifacts stored within The Shadow Vaults, originally owned by Ron's allies, the shadow grasp. Whether this partnership will last, Between Ron and his company and The Grasp, remains to be seen.
Failures & Embarrassments
Reportedly unable to roll initiative higher than 12, despite being a Gloomstalker ranger with half of his kit depending on having decent initiative. Funniest shit I ever saw.
Imprisoned in Daborak following a botched jailbreak. Was freed by Reginald Von Halen as part of a "recruitment initiative."
Played a key role in the downfall of a squad of adventurers sent to hunt down Malken Black. The consequences of this led to the death of Ron's friend, White, The beginnings of a violent conflict between The Collector and Grasping Hand, and immense costs to the wellbeing of the people Ron considered kin.
Double-Double Crossed by (former) Night Captain Alpha Provant in the Shadowfell.
At least partially owes his freedom to his greatest enemies, The World Wanderers. In particular, Ranger Captain Myrlene Blair-Three Rivers.
Mental Trauma
Owes some part of his distorted world view to the trials and tribulations he was forced to undergo in The Badlands. He views these hardships as catalysts for his personal strength.
Highly prone to taking risks, and almost seems to have a death wish.
Intellectual Characteristics
Intellectually Average, but very willing to learn new things, having taken to politics rather quickly after his appointment as ambassador. Prefers actions to words, however, and much prefers the chaos of combat and the thrill of the hunt to paperwork. It's what he grew up with, after all.
Morality & Philosophy
Seek always to test yourself, so that you may evolve to face greater challenges.
After being found by The Earthbraka Clan, Ron found purpose in the teachings of Gazenaroc, in the idea that all living creatures, in some way, "evolve."
Ron was taught that "Evolution" was what naturally occurs when one overcomes hardships, as well as being the root by which physical and spiritual strength grows. The greater the hardship, the greater you would become, by processes of evolution. One of the best ways to catalyze this evolution was the pursuit of dangerous game, be they beast, abomination, or felllow man.
Ron's childhood was haunted by his status as a half-breed, a bastard, doomed to always be "The Runt." Evolution gave him a new outlook on strength.
(More to be added)
person.sexuality
Homosexual. Not very interested in relationships or sexuality in general.
Taboos
Has a general disdain for "law" and "order," but particularly loathes prisons, slavers, and those who would hold themselves as being "above" others, without ever having to prove it. Ron sees it as complacency, restrictions on evolution that should not exist.
Ron sees The World Wanderers in a similar way, though that is more motivated by a long-standing grudge than any higher causes...
Known Languages
Fluently speaks Orclin, Common and Elven (Though the latter is insufferable sounding to any native speaker.) Learnt Wicked to keep himself busy between jobs, Learnt Valley Dwarven from the library of Kacael following the conclusion of The Cathedral of Sin missions.

Contacts & Relations
As the Jack of The Collector, he is well connected to the factions of Orde, as well as the Mages Guild and Freemen.
Associate of The Ten Clubs Lizardfolk Tribe of Dolten, The Zhukov Family of Leskovac, and The Shadow Grasp Guild of Thieves. Whether or not these relations mean anything is to be seen, but Ron takes it as proof that his ambassadorship is both good for his personal evolution and The Collector's business.
Family Ties
None. Hasn't had contact with the tribe he grew up in for ages.
Religious Views
Has been devoted to Gazenaroc for roughly two and a half decades. Particularly believes in "Evolution" as an odd sort of ideology, with Gazenaroc being the representation of that ideal.
Holds some respect for Iass and Cassius, as well as the other green deities.
Social Aptitude
Upholds a confident image, and is fairly extroverted most of the time. Highly competitive, particularly in proving his skill as a combatant.
Hobbies & Pets
Owns a horse named Hids that he stole from a tortle assassin.
Speech
Has a gravelly, baritone vocal quality. He speaks in a wastes dialect of common, and slightly slurs his words. Swears far too much.
