Ol' Salty was born in a small fishing village called Sandpoint near six decades ago. His father was a fisherman, and regularly asked Bard (at the time) to join him on his trips. The sea called to Bard, and he later took on all sorts of sailing ventures. He's been part of merchant convoys, pirate raids, and even had a place in the military once. When asked about children, he would simply reply "I ain't made for settling down, young one. My soul is with the sea, and one day ol' Gozreh will keep me with 'im." Ol' Salty, he's called now, is a man of incredible wisdom. He can look you right in the eye and know what you're made of. But don't think for a second that he's some frail old man. He is incredible hardy, and could even put some of those youngins to shame.
Ol' Salty stands around 5'6" with only a slight hunch. He has a long grey beard that looks as if it had salt within it. His hair is grey with a fairly good sized bald spot, but no one sees it under his red bandana. His eyes are an intense blue, and seem to sway to and fro like the waves of the sea.
His companion, a sea otter named Fisher, has a sleek brown coat, but his whiskers are slightly grey. He never sits still, which makes it humorous in comparison to calm Ol' Salty.
Ol' Salty, being a shaman of the waves, seeks to support his party members in combat by buffing them and controlling enemies. Out of combat, he is a vessel of wisdom, and can aid them in many different pursuits (including sea shanties, if you're interested). I hope you guys enjoy him, as I'm already very fond of this old coot.
