Parents are Keleshite stable masters in Taldor, doing well due to the quality of their product, despite the anti-Keleshite sentiments in the area. Mother - Behzad, Father - Fayyadh. Both alive, no siblings.

Always has been fond of animals, strays and such things, but little good at human relationships.

Left the city to join the Verduran Rangers to get away from the anti-keleshite bigotry in Taldor.

His initiation into the rangers was to go into the Verduran Forest alone, with a bow, 10 arrows and a hunting knife, to hunt a great beast and bring it back for a feast. Given that there are a great many things that will happily eat a proto-ranger, the initiations are shepherded by the fey, who use take the opportunity to have a little fun while testing the candidate. All Faf could find was an enormous badger, which kicked his ass and chewed on his left hand. The bow did not avail him well so he had to kill it with his knife. Got a lot of grief back at camp, but they ate the badger anyway, and dubbed him Badgerhand.

Left the Rangers after several years, fed up with the political machinations of both sides of the Treaty. Fey are elemental and true to their natures, Nature itself is complex but straightforward, but people (both Taldan and Druid) complicate things with their petty ambitions. Also got tired of having to perform in "The Ladyknights Epic" at the Opera House every time he was in Wispil.

The Wildwood Arbitrators

Began as a ceremonial military unit that escorted the diplomatic delegation from Cassomir to the Isle of Arenway once a year, to reaffirm the Wildwood Treaty between Taldor and the Wildwood Lodge. Over the next 800 years expanded to become a neutral party who investigates rumors and accusations of treaty violations on either side. An equal number of volunteers drawn from Taldor and the Wildwood Lodge are maintained to ensure balance. Based out of the gnomish logging town of Wispil, and the Taldan River Guard outpost on the Isle of Arenway.

Azdahag

Found Azdahag the usual way, tracking rumors of poachers moving "product" down the Verduran river. Observing the poachers attempting to fence their prize - a dragon's egg, they were disappointed to find that the large reptilian egg was not in fact a dragon's egg, but some other kind of mundane lizard. In their embarrassment and chagrin, the poachers decided to smash the egg, which is where Badgerhand and crew stepped in and put foot to arse. Also a half score arrows and a fair amount of sword. The critter hatched during the skirmish adding to the fun, and in the end the critter bonded with Faf. Lacking a ready means to return the animal to it's home (wherever in the Nine Hells that is), Faf named it Azdahag (dragon in his native tongue), and now travels with it. Faf is not sure what sex Azdahag is, and Azdahag has not seen fit to tell. The raptor is usually found wearing a badger-fur blanket thing to keep him warm.
