Marcus Nocturnus - Half-elf - Male
Neutral Good Ranger 1
Background:
Marcus was born and raised in the wilds west of Trunau. His father was an elven ranger (half-drow due to an attack on the surface) who patrolled the areas outside of Trunau helping the hardy farmers and ranchers who were trying to tame the land. Periodically, he would go into town for supplies, to bring in an injured settler, or to escort a traveler. Over time he fell in love with one of the women there. Eventually, she reciprocated his affection and she moved out to his cabin. Marcus was born the next year.
Marcus’ father, Cuthalian, believed in training with different teachers to learn techniques. In addition to teaching Marcus the ways of a ranger he also had Marcus train with some of the local dwarves. He grew into a strong and powerful young man obviously taking his size and build from his mother’s family. He was a throwback to his grandfather, Harrison, who was a big powerful man in his youth. This did not stop Cuthalian from teaching his son the use of fighting with two weapons. The shield he would explain is not only for defense but offense and you must master it. So he pushed his relatively clumsy son to practice hard and often to develop the necessary skill to use both weapons effectively.
Meanwhile, Marcus’ mother, Rita, who was trained as a healer also shared her skills with him. He learned to make poultices, how to find herbs and alchemical components in the wild, how to combine them into useful substances, and most importantly, how to apply all of this to the healing of others.
It was time for the Hopeknife festival but Cuthalian did not feel he could go to Trunau this year. The lands were even more savage recently and he needed to continue to patrol the area and check up on the various settlers. Still, he knew Marcus and Rita often had fun at the festival so he sent them on alone trusting Marcus to be protection enough for his own mother.
