About Cole Haros
A wide brimmed hat, high collar, and a painted face make identification impossible. The light from the lantern at his side, throws his features into more confusion, and you're not even sure if he is a he, until he speaks. He speaks slowly, breathily, with a very distinctive lilt to his tongue, though the origin is hard to place. The unique meter to his speech is enough to hold your attention onto his every word.
Who are you?
"I've had many names. Many faces. Always what is needed for the soul on hand. You may call me Cole."
Where did you come from?
"I am the standard bearer for - and the voice of - the Mourning Maiden. Have been for as long as I can remember, drifting along the River of Souls in the Astral Plane. I carved her figurehead myself several centuries ago. It is only recently that the Lady of Graves has seen fit to call upon my services and furnish me with a crew."
How did you become an adventurer?
"I am at my Lady's beck and call. I am here because she asked my to take up her mantle and dock the ship for a short while. We shall depart once our business in concluded."
How did you die?
"'One by one they follow me, laughing, drowning, into the sea...'
I remember the phrase, loud in my ears even as I sank below the surface of the seas. I remember laughing at the absurdity of it all even as the water filled my lungs. But what caused it, what actually happened, I couldn't say. Probably pissed off the wrong passenger."
What else is important about your character.
This is a man who has been drifting in the Astral Plane for so long that he's forgotten who he used to be. A couple of skills picked up over the duration, only what has been useful in his dealing with the other guardians of the River. An amicable personality, he has known (without knowing how) that he has been under the protection of Pharasma. He also knows that, should he falter in his duties, so shall her protection of him and the vessel.
