Aerthalas

A male halfling merchant with tousled brown hair and bright green eyes. He wears a patchwork vest filled with pockets, each containing various trinkets and tools of his trade. His nimble fingers are often seen gesturing animatedly as he talks, and he has a mischievous grin that suggests he knows more than he lets on. Grub is of average height for a halfling, with a wiry build that allows him to move quickly and quietly.

Grub is fast-talking, witty, and always has a story to tell. He has a knack for making people feel at ease, even when discussing shady business. His scrappy nature means he’s resourceful and quick on his feet, but he can also be a bit self-serving, often prioritizing his own interests over others. Despite this, he has a soft spot for those in genuine need and will sometimes lend a hand when it suits him.

Grub Thornfoot grew up in the bustling markets of Riftbrook Crossing, where he learned the art of negotiation and the value of a good shortcut. As a scrappy halfling, he quickly became known for his ability to navigate the treacherous borderlands, leading travelers safely across for a fee. His connections with smugglers and the Silver Scale Consortium have made him a valuable asset in the area, though his dealings often walk the line between legality and danger. Grub is always on the lookout for the next opportunity to profit, whether it be through guiding lost souls or trading in rare goods.
