Background:

Zan Tain has been a native of Trunau his whole life and with one exception has spent his whole life in and around it. Two years back he helped a more experienced ranger guide some merchant to Lastwall and spent a few days in civilisation.
Zan’s mother casts a long shadow even in death as one of Trunau’s best scouts and defenders when she was in her prime. She ran afoul of a group of orcs while defending the village some ten years back who were trying to attack a caravan coming to the settlement. She sold her life dearly to buy them time to get to safety.
It has been recognised that Zan has an interest in tracking giants, this stems from seeing one years ago he lost track of that had tattoos surprisingly similar to some Varisian ones. He’s never seen one again quite like it but often tracks giants that wander near Trunau… thankfully he has enough sense to avoid engaging them unless necessary.
The most dangerous foe he has faced to date was an ogrekin barbarian. Rather than face the behemoth straight on Zan lured it into an area where he brought down a small avalanche of loose scree onto the ogrekin.
Thankfully Zan’s time as a guide for the militia’s patrols rarely means encountering giants but he’s developed quite a reputation for being able to disarm traps. Some of the the orc hunters in the area can have vicious traps left around to catch game… or larger quarry. He’s practiced hard to be able to perform well without his light armor getting in the way.
