BACKGROUND
Marten Daseto is a former resident of Sandpoint who left many years ago to study arcane magic. Aside from the occasional perfunctory letter, he has had little contact with his family or anyone in the town while gone. It was only the pleading of his older brother Mavin to come back to Sandpoint for the upcoming Swallowtail festival that guilted Marten to return.

He was late to the Swallowtail Festival, and so missed the goblin raid by days. Mavin, who resides in Sandpoint, was wounded during the raid and would have died had the town not rallied and swiftly ended the goblin threat, allowing the injured to be found and tended to. Marten realizes how close Mavvin came to death, and curses the intellectual distraction that delayed his arrival to be there for his brother.

He has spent the first week after returning spending time with his brother, renewing their relationship. This has served to increase Marten's guilt over not arriving in town on time, and he thanks anyone he encounters who is known to have defended the town when the goblins attacked. This level of humility is very difficult for Marten, but he seeks a sort of penance, so he continues.

Description:
His receding hairline belies the many years he's spent studying the arcane arts; he is thin and stands unnaturally rigid. He dresses in an impeccable all-black suit over a white shirt with lace at the collar and peeking out from the sleeves. He has polished, black boots that come up nearly to his knees. His clothes are always prestidigitationly immaculate. His expression and speech are unabashedly haughty, as if to make up for what he considers his low birth.

His facial hair is perfection.
