Bendoc is small in height even by halfling standards. He is slim but well muscled like a greyhound, broad in the shoulders and narrow in the waist. Bendoc carries himself with an air of confidence and walks with the swagger of a veteran. He is handsome with a pleasing face and piercing grey-blue eyes, the same color of the sky right before a storm, but it is more than their color that draws a person’s attention his gaze appears knowing and penetrating. His tanned face is framed by flowing dark hair and a small chin goatee the same color. His face always bares a smile or smirk and it appears as if he is laughing at the world. Bendoc tends to dress in woodland colors favoring clothing in brown, green, and gray.
Background:
Bendoc’s father Jaks has owned a small cabbage farm, along the Turndark River, about a half-days walk from the town of Sandpoint. Bendoc's father has owned the farm for close to forty years and has been married for the same amount of time. When Bendoc's father Jaks wed Wyssal, Bendoc's mother, their future looked bright and soon they were blessed with children, four boys Nim, Bendoc, Tuck, and Samford. With the family’s growth and hard work their future abounded with many prospects and possibilities. The farmhouse the family lived in was spacious and overlooked the Whisper Wood Moor and the rugged tors of the surrounding countryside.
Unfortunately, the proximity of the farm to the untamed countryside subjected them to the occasional raid by giants or more frequently goblins. As a consequence, on more than one occasion, an entire season of work was lost. Frustrated by the destruction of his farm, time and again, Jaks decided he would rebuild the farm one last time. However, this farmhouse was like no other, it was built underground in the side of a hill, with a stout round door. Jaks named the farm Brook-burrow and he stubbornly began training his family on ways to combat the giants that would inevitably raid the farm.
However, the land proved more stubborn than Jaks, or the giants, and the family struggled. Poor crops coupled with dying livestock left the struggling family with few choices. So with heavy harts Bendoc's youngest brother, Samford, was shipped off to apprentice with the clergy in Magnimar. While Tuck, Bendoc's second youngest brother, was apprenticed to a traveling bard.
With two less mouths to feed Bendoc redoubled his efforts in helping to supply his family with food. Although he was only in his tweens he was a skilled hunter and often provided extra meat for his family. Over the years Bendoc continued to develop his abilities as a hunter and naturalist, often finding solace in his natural surroundings. Bendoc is now an adult and ready to strike off on his own.
