Thalin is an expert ambusher who can surprise even the most advanced adventurers in the woods. Thalin moves much faster than most. His one weakness is Magic. He’s not had much dealing with people who can cast magical fire or curse him with a word. Should anyone do something unexpected, he will panic and flee.
 

History

Half-halfling and half-elf, Thalin was never quite moral or good. Thalin once served as a scout for the Curved Sword Agency under a particularly gruesome commander. But after three successful campaigns against the dwarves during the Blood War, it was clear the mercenaries would never be paid their promised wages. He heard the excuses again and again, and they only served to anger him:
  “Your money is being held safely.”
“Your money is investment in the command.”
“Your money is forthcoming. Just be patient.”
  One fateful day, the paymaster—in a particularly foul mood—told Thalin to back off. Instead, Thalin cut the paymaster’s throat, walked out of the tent and fired an arrow into the crowd; striking his commander in the eye and killing the commander where he stood. No one witnessed Thalin’s act, but chaos erupted in the company. Tensions that had been mounting for months erupted in a cacophony of violence. Soldiers slaughtered each other as Thalin ran for the woods.
