A man full of mystery and very few words, Willow likes to keep to himself, preferring the company of nature to that of people. Life as left him rather jaded and cynical, and he usually prefers to say nothing than express the utter disappointment he finds in most of humanity.
As a young man, he was engaged to the pretty young daughter of the local butcher. Tragically, she was killed by bandits whilst the two lovers were camping in the woods near town. Driven out of town by blame of the locals and his own shame, Willow took to living in the woods by himself, striving to protect others from the unknown dangers in the wilds as he could not protect his lost love from years before.
A skilled hunter in his youth, Willow's seclusion has only further honed his mastery of the bow, and the art of survival and tracking. Because of his tendency to venture into the deep woods, Willow has often found himself dealing with fey, druid, and other rare creatures. From them, he found and learned of an innate magical ability, and to attune with nature in a spiritual aspect.
He has since made a living offering his services as a tracker and huntsman. As such, Willow has been hired by Bruhma to meet him near Solace and guide him through the surrounding wilderness to his destination. It took him a little longer than expected to find the party, but with his skill in tracking, he has located them about a days journey out of Solace, at the Inn of the Last Home.
