Hawkren is a Varisian man of medium build. His sharp black eyes shine out from a tan face framed by a goatee and laugh lines. His long black hair ranges from 'free-roaming' to 'nicely combed but loose' when he's on the prowl for female companionship. But most of the time, it is pulled back into a serviceable - if unkempt - ponytail to keep it out of his face. His clothes peg him as a traveler. His worn leather boots give way to worn brown breeches which terminate at his one dash of flair. Slung around his hips is rumpled purple sash which sits below a faded leather belt. His hands are covered by threadbare black fencing gloves with the fingertips removed and the edges hemmed. Hawkren's shirt is of common white cloth and sits below a loose grey woolen vest which is neatly held in place by a well-crafted bandolier that runs diagonally across his frame. Over one shoulder, rides a finely constructed leather backpack. His constant companion is a walking staff made of silver-barked wood. Peeking from beneath his shirt and gloves are hints of a series of tattoos that would mark him as a Varisian, if his general appearance didn’t.

There was one fact that could be said of the Hargraves family:
The dragon’s blood and the Varisian blood run true… but everything else is a bit of a mess.

For generations, the Hargraves have been an unbroken line of ‘wizarding wanderers’. They had children more out of a sense of continuity, legacy, and “it’s the thing to do” than out of any great desire to be parents. Performing experiments, gathering arcane knowledge, and searching for ruins always came first and – often – last. Children were potholes in the middle of the path to enlightenment. Raising them was a detour on the journey.

Hawkren (‘Hawk’) had little room to complain. Was it a bit of a lonely existence? Sure. But who else had a series of eldritch nannies (Trait: Magical Knack) when their parents were away for months? Who else got to ignore rules like when to eat, what to eat, should you eat, and bedtime? And when he got older and the dragon’s blood showed strongly in him (ART: Draconic Heritage) and his talents started to emerge (Draconic Bloodline) … who got to traipse around the wilds of Varisia having adventures and getting his own personal sorcerous bootcamp (Trait: Abendego Spellpiercer) overseen by his father? Don’t feel sorry for Hawk, pal, feel sorry for yourself. You missed out.

In his late teens, Hawk left his parents' lukewarm embrace over a series of small events. One, it was just time. He needed to spread his wings (leathery not feathery) and set his own course in the world. And his parents’ experiments and projects just didn’t interest him any longer. Also, he wanted to experience ‘normal’ people as he was far more sociable and gregarious than his largely reclusive family members. (Trait: Affable) So he set out to discover the beauty of common humanity and share his sorcerous gifts in a place that sounded accepting, friendly, and inviting – Ustalav!

After being chased out of one village to cries of “boil the tar!” and “kill the witch!”, Hawk began to realise that his parents had ill-prepared him for regular people. The village was safe and he had helped to end the troglodyte raids. How was he to know that swamp gasses were particularly flammable? He tried to apologize for what happened to the grain silo but the torches and pitchforks were already in motion.

Hawk moved on and – more importantly – he learned from the misadventure. His next several village and town experiences were better – no flaming grain silos. But after he’d helped rid an area of pests, or bandits, or marauding hobgoblins, sooner or later, the villagers’ thanks would turn to distrust. He had powers they couldn’t understand and therefore couldn’t trust. A thunderstorm happened and a cow got hit by a lightning bolt. Was the strange spellslinger involved? Maybe he called the storm. Maybe he fried the cow. The line between adoring crowd and baying mob was perilously thin at times. Hawk got used to smelling that kind of trouble in the offing and left town before it came to a head.

After one close shave, Hawk found shelter with a Varisian caravan and traveled with them for almost a year. He became one of the workers, not a sorcerer, and his life proved a lot easier. Lightning rods draw lightning… so the trick is to not look like a lightning rod. He even apprenticed with a tattooist in the caravan. (Craft: Tattoo, Prof: Tattooist, Feat: Varisian Tattoo) When he was ready to go it alone again, he left the caravan as a wandering tattoo artist – not a sorcerer. He was no longer an obvious lightning rod.

Currently, Hawk is exploring the countries around Lake Encarthan, peddling his tattoos… and no other skills. He avoids trouble when he can. Despite his relatively neutral outlook on the world and dedication to his own set of rules, he is a sucker for good causes, innocents under threat, children, and stray animals. (LN with Good tendencies) He blames the vestiges of gold dragon blood in his veins for this moral streak. And when his moral streak wins, Hawk is quick to call on his sorcerous skills to solve problems. But once his secret is out, he starts counting the days until ‘grateful’ locals become hard-eyed. And then he packs up his tools and leaves… fast.
