Background:
Gargamal lived on the fringes of society for many years. Not feeling like he belonged in either human or elven lands, he split his time between them, learning what each culture had to offer. He was never shunned of put upon; rather many folk went out of their way to help the young half-elf fit in.
His adventuring career began one spring day when he was making his way to visit an isolated elven village. He arrived to find the village deserted and after searching the area for a number of hours, finally came upon a well cover path that led into a dark canyon. He followed the tracks to a secret door that led deep into the hillside. He found the villagers, shackled and imprisoned with the dark, twisted caverns beneath the earth. Drow had raided the village and had captured the entire population. Knowing the fate that awaited these poor people, Gargamal lured the jailors out into the canyon and was able to shoot them with his bow. Those that escaped he hunted down, until he encountered one of the lesser priestesses of Lolth. In a battle that almost had him joining the poor villagers, Gargamal was able to defeat the priestess, with the help of some of the freed villagers. They all returned to their village, and Gargamal took the message of the raid to the humans as well as all the elves he could find. A group of dwarves returned with him to the canyon and using their engineering abilities, they sealed the entrance to the Underdark for good.
As the years went by, Gargamal has had many other adventures, including saving his riding elk from a pack of dire wolves. He has run into the Drow on several occasions, and has always rooted them out to the best of his abilities. He now wanders the lands, searching out the Drow and their otherworldly allies and thwarting their schemes whenever possible.
