Henry Walton adventured far and wide in his youth, his travels carrying him deep into the Mwangi expanse. Now considered a Mwangi Scholar by his peers, he continues his research from a base of operations in Port Peril of the Shackles. His critics find his tactics blunt, snidely calling him a hack that simply slashes through the jungles and gets lucky. Luck or not, Henry’s bold approach and resourceful nature serve him well as he ranges across the realms. A recent discovery of a faded map drawn with octopus ink on a broad palm leaf leads Henry back to the wilds, his passage secured on the Jenivere as his adventures continue.

Running with the idea of an Indiana Jones (Henry Walton Jones Jr.) flavor to the later adventures, I present a Human Ranger with the Serpent’s Skull trait of Mwangi Scholar, profession of archeologist, and advancement path to the prestige class Horizon Walker. The ranger build would utilize the two weapon combat style for a whip and kukri (closest to machete), the Hunter's Bond class feature would be a Bond with Companions to eliminate animal companion complications and encourage group coordination, and the 1st favored enemy would be snakes - always snakes.
