Kal Galdur

The third of the three strangers is hidden partially by a russet cloak and a hood, and he doesn't make a move to engage in the conversation. From his back, you can tell that he is fit and not to chubby, and a spear is leaning up against the table next to him as the three travellers talk.
Looking at the third traveller's face, you can see a jagged nose and a scraggly beard covering very scarred and tanned skin. You can recognize him from the large scar he has over his eye, and his eyes are piercing.
"Excuse me, my employer and I would like to-" his high voice suddenly cuts out once he recognizes you back. His head begins to shake a little as he backs away.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Kal was very fit, with a full body and skilled in agility. He had scarred skin, and where there are no scars, a trace of a small tan covered him.

Body Features

His skin was fairly scarred from his fights in the arena, which had hardened him and made him very athletic and physically fit.

Facial Features

His face was very round, with a thin scraggly beard and a jagged nose.

Identifying Characteristics

He had one very significant scar over his eyebrow that goes down his right cheek.

Apparel & Accessories

He sticked to common clothing overtop of his hide armour, opting for dull russets and browns.

Specialized Equipment

His hide armour was made of reinforced animal skins, some of them being animals that he had killed himself. He also carried his trademark spear and buckler.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Kal had spent most of his life in the Arena. Using his deadly spear and shield attacks, he fought his way to the top, standing as the reigning champion alongside Geort Adanar. When Étan Sparg bought the two's freedom a month ago, Kal was ready to do some good with his abilities, but quickly became disillusioned with the cause. It was only because Zarin Lapré and Étan saved his life when the three fled Gratic City that he still travels with them and does work for them. He has his misgivings, but as long as he is paid well for the work and isn't forced to lay out his neck for them, he will stay.
Kal sprung into action when his group was attacked by the Drakeslayers , but he wasn't powerful enough to save his life from them.

Education

He learned a great deal about combat while in The Grand Arena of Ilmius I, becoming acquainted with a multitude of styles and weapon combinations.

Employment

He had fought in the arena for as long as he can remember.

He had been working for Étan ever since he was set free, trying to make this work when it clearly is not.

Mental Trauma

During one particularly nasty battle, someone released a Nightstalker into the arena, and Kal barely made it out of that encounter alive. Because of this, he had a fear of the creature that lasted his whole life.

Intellectual Characteristics

He was adept at tracking multiple targets and keeping his eyes peeled for attacks, which was instrumental to his survival in the arena. He thought of things very spatially and physically, relying on muscle memory and practiced tactics to pave his way to survival.

Morality & Philosophy

Kal thought of himself as a good person, although he wasn't fond of the evil work that he does. He couldn't quite reconcile the two, and he was very self-reflective about his role in The Dragon Heresy. He was trying to work to the point where he can emulate Geort and try to get out of this life, but he wasn't sure that he would be forgiven for everything that he's done.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Kal didn't have big dreams, as he doubted that he would ever get out of the Arena. Once he had, he just wanted to be free to choose his own destiny, away from the other two heretics. In his ideal life, he would have been able to travel to somewhere more exotic and seek decent work befitting his talents.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

He got very proficient with his spear and shield.

He knew very little about the world as a result of his closed-off childhood.

Likes & Dislikes

He loved a good rest, and he could often be caught having a nap.

He disliked the work he had to do for Étan, although he did like the labour that those jobs entailed.

Virtues & Personality perks

He had a heart of gold somewhere in that scarred body, and it drove him to expect better of himself.

He was loyal, almost to a fault.

Vices & Personality flaws

As much as he disliked the evil work he did, he couldn't shake it and had difficulty forgiving himself for his mistakes.

Hygiene

He wasn't used to proper hygiene, but he did keep clean enough to be presentable.

Social

Contacts & Relations

He remembered Geort from the Arena, and he had fallen in with Étan and Zarin until the time of his death.

Family Ties

If he ever had a family, he never knew them and he wasn't horribly interested in finding them considering they had given him up.

Religious Views

He didn't believe in the gods, although he could sometimes be heard praying. In his mind, it would have done well not to displease them if they did exist, and if they didn't it wasn't too much of a trouble.

Social Aptitude

He wasn't particularly social, being the quietest of the trio. That being said, he could be confident and social when he felt like it. He didn't have a large ego, mostly due to the fact that he refused to let his past fame get to his head. He had reasonably good manners despite his background.

Hobbies & Pets

In his spare time, he did drawings and sketches, although he couldn't write.

Speech

He had a high voice that occasionally breaks, especially when he got emotional.

Wealth & Financial state

Work for Étan didn't pay all that well, and so Kal had only a few coins on him at any one time. He was, however, well-dressed after a fashion, attempting to wear clothing with a bit more flair than is common.
