--------------------
Bowen's mother was a poor woman, a seamstress and weaver in the small town of Sandpoint. It was no wonder she fell in love with a young elvish traveller, a younger scion of a minor noble house out to see the world before taking on the mantle of his family name. The affair was brief and passionate, however was never meant to last. As the elven lord felt the call of his duties and returned to his homeland, Bowen's mother was left with nothing but memories and a boy child.
Bowen's early life was hard, both because of poverty and the mistrust and bigotry he faced as both a bastard and halfbreed. He was a solitary child, often wandering the lands surrounding Sandpoint when he was not helping his mother, finding comfort in the wilderness and it's solitude. It was due to these sojourns that Bowen came under the tutelage of a local huntsman who taught young Bowen the was of woodcraft, hunting and survival.
As Bowen grew he became an accomplished woodsman, keen of eye with the bow as well as a formidable foe wielding axe and dagger. He took it upon himself to help keep the people of Sandpoint free from the depredations of the local goblin tribes, scouting their movements and slaying any raiding parties he could, doing so even though it never garnered any more respect from the local folk.
Bowen is taciturn, which many percieve as arrogance but is rather the product of spending much of his life in solitude, his mistrust of others and the grim circumstances of his early life. If given proof of a new comrade Bowen can be given to a wry mirth and is both steadfast and loyal to those who have proven themselves so.
