 About Saren ArtimisSAREN Age: 58
As Saren walked through the streets of Brevory he recalled the events leading up to this point, ”Hopefully a turning point, This is it, this is my retirement,” The aging vampire hunter thought, clenching a piece of paper in his fist, as he headed back to his house to collect his things and prepare for one final adventure. Saren begins packing up all of the small things he used to carry with him when he was younger and out fighting the undead. ”Good thing I kept all of these for so many years. They are so useless most of the time, but life savers on those rare occasions, especially life savers when you don’t have them.” Seeing all these items brought back the memories of his youth, running around fighting the undead with his father across the land. He always had a strange way of dealing with his enemies, always saying the undead were easily tricked, leaving themselves open too much. The words ringed through Saren’s head for the millionth time,”Keep your guard up, take your time, focus, then… Rip their head off!” He chuckled a bit at the memory. That was the first time he actually saw his father kill a zombie, and the first lesson he received in earnest. After that his life was never the same. Once he was done finishing up packing the small things he headed to his institute. To collect the last of his belongings before heading off, most importantly was his collection of daggers he inherited from his father after he died to a lich many many years ago. After his father died, Saren tried to continue with his father’s business but just didn’t have the heart for it anymore. Finally he decided that he would retire from bounty hunting and start teaching others who would be interested in learning his strange techniques. He travelled across the River Kingdoms stopping in towns trying to set up a school to teach those interested. Unfortunately he wasn’t able to find any place with enough interest to make a living. With the last of his father’s saving he moved to Brevory with one last attempt to open a school to teach his father’s style of unarmed defensive fighting. At first Brevory showed a ton of interest, but the techniques were not easily learnable by many of the students, only a handful were able to grasp the concepts. As such business dropped off and Saren was now forced to close the school. Today was that day, the last day of his teaching career. Saren grabbed his daggers and a few potions, he walked outside and locked the door, a sad smile on his face. He taught so many great people and wanted to teach more, but alas this was not his destiny. He wasn't really sure whether to be happy or sad. He lived a long life and a taught a few fantastic students, now he was going to go and settle the wilds, and perhaps make a name for himself after so many years. What did the gods have in store for him? Saren grabbed his backpack and tucked in his daggers into the folds of his cloak and headed towards the rendezvous point, not looking back, a smile on aged face. Appearance & Personality:
Saren has aged well, he only looks to be about 40 years of age, but he is actually 58. He is of medium height and at one time he had a very strong build, but age has taken its toll on him and can be seen. But this works to his advantage as he appears to be an easy target and those who have attacked him in the past have learned a hard lesson. Saren is a very patient person after having to teach so many students, and rarely if ever yells. The only way to tell he is mad is when he is completely silent and avoids eye contacts. All stats include fighting defensive with crane style
