Appearance:
In front of you stands a proud and dignified man in his mid-sixties, bearing his chin high and armored in silvery mithral platemail. The Chelaxian's gray and white hair is well-tended and covers his neck with a ponytail tied with a black silken ribbon. His strong facial features are partly covered by his trimmed side whiskers. Even though he appears to have survived through many wars and bears the signs of his past hardships, his blue eyes reflect a deep compassion and understanding, a spark of humanity lingering in his soul.

He bows gallantly despite his heavy armor and the burden of his years, and greets you with a deep low voice worthy of an opera singer. "I am Baron Rysalius Starnon, formerly of House Starnon in Westcrown, Baron of the Taldan Empire, General of the First Army of Exploration and proud vassal of Lady Morilla. Well met."

Rysalius turns to his squire, a young Brevian man in his early twenties. "Lander, my swords." the nobleman's voice booms with a gentle hint for the young man as he brings his master a mithral longsword as well as an adamantine one. "It appears our swordmanship will be needed once again."

Background:

Born in Westcrown the second son of of a dragon redeemed by Aroden, Rysalius devoted his early life to becoming an expert in his true passion - opera. From an early age, he was taught by his mother. Encouraged to follow his passion, he quickly became a reknown opera singer of the Chelish scene, his deep bass voice being seen as one of the purest in his time.

Yet his career didn't survive the Chelish civil war that followed the death of Aroden, protector of House Starnon. The old nobility was brought down by the ambitious Thrunes, and the Starnon family was no exception. Most House members died during these troubled time, yet Rysalius managed to escape the devilish assassins and protect the youngest generation of his family. They found shelter in Corentyn, until it was safe to return to Westcrown and rebuild the family's influence and former glory.

Rysalius left these matters to his great-grandchildren, who proved more apt to the task. The old dragon-blooded singer took his bow, and decided to find a new path in the ranks of the Pathfinder Society after a few years of piracy in the Shackles, harrassing the Thrunes' interest there.
