Eye color: Deep Blue
Hair color: Snow white

Jean is not a large man and although he is not as young as he used to be, his presence is still known. He stands about an average height of 5'11, his hair is white as his namesake states. He bears the face of one who has seen and experienced much over the years, his deep blue eyes are piercing and full of haunted experiences. He carries himself as one would expect of a hunter; calm, calculating, and ever watchful of his surroundings.

He is a stern man and his serious demeanor follows over to his line of work. He dresses in plain but sturdy clothing fit for long term travel and almost never travels unarmed.

When prepared for battle he looks like a knight of old tales ready to battle the darkness. A dark cloak hangs over his armor, which is a breastplate emblazoned by his houses sigil. A roaring lion with a white mane. Both of his gauntlets are made of silver with spikes and have locking attachments. His Finely crafted, alchemically silvered Longsword, simple but well used war-hammer and well worn buckler hang at his side for close combat. A bandolier hangs across his chest often filled with holy water or alchemists fire for ease of access. His most prized possession however, is Vanquish. A well crafted Long-bow made from a rare wood known as Dark-Wood. It was tailored to Jeans specifics to utilize his strength and given to him on his 18th name day.

Born the 3rd son of the Whitemane Family of the last generation, Jean's duty to not only to his family but to the country as a whole was well ingrained into him. He was given no special title and was not given any family heirlooms to keep either. Instead, as was custom of the 3rd son, he was sent to study the knowledge's and contemplate the spiritual aspects of life at a temple of Pharasma.

Many years of his youth were spent studying various religious scripts and speaking with scholars to better learn how to hunt down and destroy the monsters that plagued the land. Though mostly, it was the Undead that fascinated him. He was not a true scholar however. Though he had learned both wisdom and presence within the temple, his mind was slower than most and often wandered to the lands he ought to be traveling using his knowledge to defeat the foul creatures. Eventually Jean decided he could no longer learn more from books and teachings. He compiled his knowledge into several thick tomes before sending them to his home with a letter of explanation to his family. He knew he was a man of actions more than words, he had to exercise his knowledge.

He spent the next set of years in his life training himself in the art of battle as he traveled the lands. His family name and influence still held some sway in the more civilized lands so he was received well in most communities. His time in the temple during his crucial years of growth had limited his ability to become strong but he had always been naturally dexterous and graceful, so he took to ranged combat more readily and found he favored the Longbow. He tested himself time and again against various monstrosities, each time he used his knowledge to gain an edge and win out. Silver and fire became his weapons of choice.

As they say, every action has a consequence and Jean was eventually noticed by an informant of the Whitemane house, and soon found himself summoned home by his father. He had not been pleased to hear that his son had so brazenly left the temple of Pharasma in the middle of his studies and he scolded Jean for his actions. Jean made a case for himself by stating that the sum of his learning's would only be useful by another in the future if they were practiced. He then took to the training yard and showed his father the fruits of his labor. Satisfied that his son had at least become a warrior and had not misused his family's name, Jean's father begrudgingly named his son a "protector of the land," and muttered something about "tradition breaking lout" before giving his blessing and sending Jean to travel the land.

Sometime later his wanderings took him to a village which had been increasingly plagued by banditry and undeath. Jean fell into a trap with bandits pretending to be frightened villagers who threw him to a pit with Ghouls and an intelligent Ghast. His battle with the Ghast and both it's Ghoul and surprisingly, Human minions nearly took his life. Thanks largely to his training and knowledge of the Undead he quickly dispatched both the Ghouls before either the Ghast or the bandits could believe what was happening. When they had recovered Jean was already swinging his blade at the Ghast and fortunately the bandits were ineffectually firing arrows at him as he fought for his life. He was wounded rather severely by the Ghast before he managed to take it down and then returned fire at the bandits by hitting two of them with Alchemists flame and driving them off. His actions saved a fair number of lives that night and the townsfolk had finally mustered enough courage to see what the commotion was all about. They drove off the bandits and when they saw Jean barely standing over the slain bodies of the ghouls they tossed him a rope and hauled him out proclaiming him a hero. He was shaken to the core that living beings and Undead monstrosities would actively work together. He refused to be tricked like that ever again and he has learned to be more careful since then.

Not long afterward he was approached by Professor Petros Lorrimor who came to him and was fascinated by his experience. The two of them struck up a correspondence with one another and kept in regular contact over the following years. Jean continued to train and learned all he could from the inquisitive professor. During his travels he began to make regular intervals to meet Professor Lorrimor, usually during the winter or summer season. The correspondence eventually became a friendship and Jean became a familiar sight in Ravengro.

It had been a long year for Jean, for unknown reasons the darkness that had receded somewhat began to stir once again. He had missed his latest, usual meeting at the professors as trouble had always seemed to appear on the horizon before he could make his journey to professor Lorrimor's home. Finally, he received another letter from the professor. He was glad to have news of his friend after months of no contact. The news however, was grim and told of the professors untimely death. Saddened by his colleagues passing, he traveled north towards Ravengro to attend the funeral.

Child of the Temple: You have long served at a temple in a city, and not only did you pick up on many of the nobility's customs, you spent much time in the temple libraries studying your faith.

Undead Slayer(N): Instructed at a young age in the tenets of your faith, you view the undead as abominations that must be destroyed, so their souls can journey beyond to be judged. You gain a +1 trait bonus on weapon damage against undead.

Subject of Study: Professor Lorrimor approached you as
part of his studies, as he had heard that you had survived a
recent encounter with a strange monster or had another
fateful encounter. Interested in the conditions of the run in
and the means by which you avoided death or injury, he
met with you and maintained frequent correspondence
until several months ago. The scars of your experience
and his continual reminders of the encounter prompted
you to hone your skills lest you someday face the same
type of creature again. The professor assisted you in this
endeavor, providing you with insight into the anatomy
and defenses of the creature that attacked you.
Years of study have improved your combat effectiveness
against your chosen foe. Choose a non-humanoid creature
type (Undead). You gain a +1 bonus on
damage rolls against creatures of this type. See the
