Tavar

Physical Description –

A wiry Herregon with lean muscle and long limbs built for speed. His fur is sun-bleached at the edges, and he wears a tattered explorer’s hat pulled low over one eye. A well-maintained rapier hangs at his hip, and he’s always fidgeting with a compass or checking the wind. His gear is travel-worn but carefully kept, and there’s a constant sense of motion about him, even when still.

Personality and Motivation –

Tavar is a practical person who is seeking a better life that the one he was destined for in the Herlend armed forces, after realizing that he had reached a station that no Herregon was permitted to go beyond. After finding the riders as distasteful as Herdlend, and the life as a city enforcer uncomfortable and unrewarding, he has decided to try his luck as a second rate adventurer. he is no coward, but has the sense to realize that by taking a back seat to other glory seekers, he can find a life that is only 1 step down at a fraction of the risk.

Fighting Strategy –

Tavar prefers to avoid a fight, but when pressed, he uses hit-and-run tactics weaving between enemies and obstacles to strike quickly and get out. He prefers dueling isolated targets with his rapier, using his speed to maintain control of the battlefield. If there's a trap or enemy path to sniff out, he's already halfway there (or taking the long way around).
