Basilfield, or simply, "Basil" to those who know him is a stick of a man: short, skinny, and plain-looking. His black hair is slightly disheveled, with bits of twig and what appears to be herb. His clothes are plain, but sturdy. Most would be tempted to dismiss him as a hapless peasant if it weren't for his eyes which are are dark, quick and deep. And then there is his voice. It is surprisingly deep and mellow. When heard that is, as his words are few, since he spends most of his time in the wilderness and prefers to listen rather than speak when he is in civilization. Those who have spoken with him find him knowledgeable about nature and common sensical about life in general.
Basil keeps to himself, in the woods, near Falcon's Hollow. Nobody really knows how he lives, but he appears in town at irregular intervals, not when called for, but usually when needed. He is known and disliked at the lumber camp north of town, having exchanged cross words with the lumberjacks on numerous occasions.
Tendencies:
Basilfield is a bit detached and forgetful. Typically doing what seems right at the moment. Let to his own, he spends much of his time living in the wild, acting a casual caretaker of both the plants and animals in his vicinity. He just generally enjoys his surroundings.
He does not actively shun civilizations, rather he feels no obligation towards society and frankly often forgets about the civilized world. His main desire is to live and let live, though he has a soft heart and his innate abilities as a Druid often draw him into complicated situations. He is scrupulous about being a person of honor, but is wary of zealots of any flavor.

Basil's badger, "Burrow", has a short, dark grey, nearly black coat, with a white stripe down his back. He has a light grey under belly. Burrow usually stays a short distance from Basil, unless Basil travels in cities or towns, or unless Basil specifically commands Burrow to attend. Usually, Basil allows Burrow to stay in the wilds near any town he is visiting. When Basil leaves the town and re-enters the wilds, then Burrow eagerly rejoins him.
