Othniel's mother was one of those rare bold humans who entered the forests of the elves and not just lived, but found a home. A priestess of Haelyn, she went to take the word of that god to the elves of the Sielwode, heedless of the risk to her own life. By luck, she encountered an ancient elf who remembered fighting alongside Haelyn at Deismaar in his you, and he took a liking to her. In time they grew close, and she bore a son.
Othniel was raised by his mother to follow Haelyn's faith, though being raised amongst the elves his particular take on it was as unorthodox as it was zealous. It is still not popular amongst the elves, but before she passed his mother had some success in converting a small few to the worship of the deified man, largely warriors who respected his battle prowess
Othniel rose in stature as this small congregation grew, and moreso as his gifts manifested. Both his parents lines, as it turned out, had been effected by Deismaar, and bore the power of Anduiras, which now ran rampant in his veins. With these gifts, and with his rare (among the Sidhelien) ability to reach out peacefully to men (even if they were still suspicious of his raising in the deep forest), he soon rose to leadership in the Sielwode.
Appearance & Personality:
Othniel looks much like an elf, but his somewhat heavier build and dark hair give away his human parentage. He dresses much like the elves, in clothes the colors of the woodland, greens and browns and the like. But unlike most of them, he wear a mail shirt beneath his jerkin. He carries a rapier and buckler, and fights in the agile style of the elves. His buckler is emblazoned with Haelyn's symbol, which has more than once saved his life when he happened across men suspicious of elves.
