About Delendir Farnes
===
Delendir died at Makmurian's hands heroically defending Varisia's lands. Ghina survived to this day and holds his redeemed memory. His last words went to her beloved daughter, wherever she is.
===
BACKGROUND:
The shadows whirled over the docks of Sandpoint. A tall and corpulent figure wobbled from one side of the street to the other. The harbor guards looked at him watchfully. One of them shouted at the figure "Whom is there? This is no place to wander at night, go!"
The figure stepped to the right allowing the light of the street lamps to unveil his face. A middle-aged half-elf of sturdy skin worked by the weather appeared behind the darkness. His eyes were totally lost in the end of the street, and if he listened the guard, he did not give him any importance as his body made no reaction at all.
"Oh! Its that bitter old and tired trapper again. Leave him stay, he is no more than a drunken man".
The first guard stared at the half-elf - "Delendir... isn't he? ...I've heard he killed a boar with his bare hands...".
The drunken figure continued his way into the darkness again - "You mean the boar died from his hell stinking breath. Hahahaha!"
Despite the joke, the first guard did not seam to share the enjoyment of his older workmate while the spoiled bastard got away from them. "He insists his family had been fighting against giant tribes in the wilderness, he established here months ago after one attack finished with his family and house".
Changing his expression to a more serious one, the other watcher said "I acknowledge he might have hunted a couple of goblins with his traps, but... giants!? For Erastil's sake!"
The trapper kneeled close to the water and looked at his unshaved face barely recognising himself, Amira... he hardly listened his own thoughts.
The half-blooded splashed some fresh water over his face without great results. He saw the flames again as reflected in the water. He was coming back home with good prey when he first smelt the burned wood. Running as fast as his feet could take him, he entered in his lands just to see how flames, bright and hot like hell, burned down his home.
Goblins had been always wandering around but this was different. Big feet marks like the ones his family taught him to fear when he was a child. He screamed in pain when he realised he had lost everything; his house, his bow, his bed, but over anything else her. "Amira...", he mumbled the name this time, while remembering the small and lively woman he had learned to love. He was in rage again.
Sunken on his thoughts he did not realise when he felt in the cold waters of the Turandarok. He thought at first the government of Sandpoint would understand and mobilise, but it had rained a lot since he realised they did not care about the advise of a rude northern half-elf.
All that had survived the fire was his old family falchion, which could not be considered anymore a masterwork piece. The Sun was raising in the Eastern horizon when the seasoned ranger started to laugh like crazy. It did not matter when but the menace will eventually hover Sandpoint. He will then have his opportunity for revenge.
"What's going on with him now? He laughs like a pig", said the youngest guardian. "Forget him. He probably just found a silver coin for another ale".
Traits Reckless (combat): You have a tendency for rash behaviour, often disregarding your own safety as you move across the battlefield. You gain a +1 bonus on Acrobatics checks, and Acrobatics is always a class skill for you.
Giant slayer (campaign): +1 against giants like favoured enemy
Bruising Intellect (social): Your sharp intellect and rapier-like wit bruise egos. Intimidate is always a class skill for you, and you may use your Intelligence modifier when making Intimidate checks instead of your Charisma modifier.
Indomitable Faith (faith trait): You were born in a region where your faith was not popular, but you still have never abandoned it. Your constant struggle to maintain your own faith has bolstered your drive. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Will saves.

Track (Ex) +1/2 level to Survival when following tracks
Wild Empathy (Ex): Replaced by falconer animal companion Distract trick.
Combat Style Feat (Ex): Gain extra Ranged Combat feats while using light, medium or no armor (2th: Rapid Shot, 6th: Manyshot).
EnduranceB (Ex): Bonuses to resist non-lethal damage, holding breath, running and other environmental effects. Can sleep on medium armor without becoming fatigued.
Favored terrain (Ex): +4 initiative, K. geography, Perception, Stealth, and Survival in this terrain. Do not leave trail and cannot be tracked on it. Choices: Urban (buildings, streets, and sewers) and Underground (caves and dungeons).
Hunter's bond (animal companion): This ability functions like the druid animal companion ability (which is part of the Nature Bond class feature), except that the ranger's effective druid level is equal to his ranger level (usually ranger – 3, but the falconer Feathered Companion ability removes the -3 penalty).
Trap (Ex or Su): Full-round, generates AoO. Fills a 5-foot square. DC is 10 + 1/2 level + Wis (DC 15). Can use 1/2 level + Wis per day (5/day). Extraordinary traps have -2 DC and last 1 day/level. Sobrenatural traps are magical and last 1 hour/level. Replaces all spellcasting capabilities of the ranger.
Swift tracker (Ex): A ranger can move at his normal speed while using Survival to follow tracks without taking the normal –5 penalty. He takes only a –10 penalty (instead of the normal –20) when moving at up to twice normal speed while tracking.
Launch Trap (Ex): At 10th level, a trapper can affix a magical ranger trap to an arrow, crossbow bolt, or thrown weapon, allowing her to set the trap remotely or use it as a direct attack. Attaching the trap to the projectile is part of the full-round action of creating a new trap. The trapped projectile is fired or thrown in the normal manner. If fired at a square, the trap is treated as if the ranger had set the trap in that square, except the DC is 5 lower than normal. If fired at a creature, the target takes damage from the ranged weapon and is treated as if it had triggered the trap (saving throw applies, if any). The attack has a maximum range of 60 feet, and range increments apply to the attack roll. The duration of the trapped projectile starts from when it is created, not from when it is used.
TRAPS
5/day (1/2 level + Wis), Perception DC 15, Disable Device DC 15 (10 + 1/2 level + Wis)
Snare trap (Ex or Su): Cannot move from the square on a failed Ref save. Escape artist DC is the same as for the save (full-round action). Can be damaged and destroyed with a Strength DC 25 check and have 1/2 level hp. Maximum hold size is Medium, and can be increased one level for each extra daily use.
Sleet trap (Su): On detonation a 20-foot burst of sleet obscures sight within it during 1 round like sleet storm spell. The ground remains icy during 1 round/level after the sleet disappears. A DC 10 acrobatics check is required to move through at half-speed. Failure means you do not move (or fall prone if fail by 5 or more). Stinguishes torches and small fires.
Alarm trap (Su): This is an effect that can be added to other traps. When the trap is triggered, it also creates a momentary loud noise equivalent to the audible alarm version of alarm.
Freezing Trap (Su): The trap creates a burst of ice that damages and encases the triggering creature. The creature takes 1d3 points of cold damage + 1/4 the ranger's level and is entangled and stuck to the ground, similar to the effect of a tanglefoot bag. A successful Reflex save halves the damage and means the creature is not stuck to the floor by the ice. The ice is 1 inch thick per 2 Hit Dice of the ranger (minimum 1), has hardness 0 and 3 hit points per inch of thickness, and melts in 2d4 rounds.

Tricks(8 known tricks+1 extra falconer trick)
Free) Roam: The falconer can let his animal companion loose to roam and forage. He must let it roam for no more than a week. When the falconer lets it roam, it agrees to return to the place he let it loose within the time period he designates.
1) Distract: The animal companion flutters wildly around any enemy it would normally attack with the attack trick. It makes an attack roll against that enemy. On a hit, the enemy is shaken for 1 round. This ability replaces wild empathy.
2-3) Attack (x2): The animal attacks apparent enemies. You may point to a particular creature that you wish the animal to attack, and it will comply if able. Normally, an animal will attack only humanoids, monstrous humanoids, giants, or other animals. Teaching an animal to attack all creatures (including such unnatural creatures as undead and aberrations) counts as two tricks.
4) Heel: The animal follows you closely, even to places where it normally wouldn't go.
5) Down: The animal breaks off from combat or otherwise backs down. An animal that doesn't know this trick continues to fight until it must flee (due to injury, a fear effect, or the like) or its opponent is defeated.
6) Fetch: The animal goes and gets something. If you do not point out a specific item, the animal fetches a random object.
7) Seek: The animal moves into an area and looks around for anything that is obviously alive or animate.
8) Defend: The animal defends a specific character or readies to defend if no threat is present.
9) Guard: The animal stays in place and prevents others from approaching.

Spoiler:
Welcome to any potential GMs! I think this is a great opportunity for anyone looking for an active and reliable group who enjoys character interactions in addition to advancing through the story.
Delendir is a stout middle-aged half-elf ranger looking for redemption. The taint of murder darkens his past and when he thought to have obtained the peace he was struck by the violence of the wilderness (his home was raided by giants, he believes, while he was hunting). He is a determined, traditional man without manners, but nonetheless he is very caring and seeks to defend Sandpoint and the party members for some reason feeling he is responsible for them.
So far he has been the main explorer through the whole adventures, worked as the group quartermaster and tried hard to find things to keep following the clues and duties when the party was struck by dark events. He is the only one who has no one in the party very close, although he has some interesting relationship with Tal and Daud. He covers that close friendship needs with Ghina, his hawk animal companion.
Mechanically he is the eyes and trapper of the party. Competent but not specialized either in ranged or melee combat, he complements the party as it better fits the situation, either from afar or close combat joining Kiley and Daud when needed.
