Reynfrid "Klein" Horst
Born of a Riese mother and human father, his father removed competition from other Riese in the lands to the east, possibly relatives of Reynfrid on his mother's side.
His father was sent by Ludwig, Herzog of Oberwald, to establish these lands as under the control of Ludwig. In return for his service, Horst Senior was situated as the Sheriff/Tax Collector in the region, such that he become the regional management of some of the lands to the east. Things started out well for Klein, as he grew up in privilege, and learned how to persuade the locals to pay their taxes, despite his small stature.
His father and mother were not on the best of terms though, and he had very little contact with his mother, but the local townsfolk under Reynfrid's father learned of a nickname his mother had given him - Klein.
Klein took to this nickname as he grew a little older, but one day, he was informed that father died from an unknown sickness of the lungs. So Klein left Darbenheim, where he had been a recruiter of settlers, before he set off to travel to Greifstadt, to meet Ludwig for the first time in 5-10 years, and to collect his due inheritance.
Klein met with a group of people, gathering some merchants under the promise of protected travel due to Klein's status, and left with them to Greifstadt. Traveling with him, he met with Chlothar, an educated fellow from one of the local schools that had recently opened up in the region.
Klein dresses like a soldier.
