Aveloria

A rugged human male trapper with a weathered face and piercing green eyes. He has unkempt dark hair tied back in a ponytail and a scruffy beard. Brandar wears a patchwork of leather and fur clothing, suitable for the swamp's harsh conditions, and carries a satchel filled with talismans and trade goods. His hands are calloused from years of work, and he often has a few swamp beast teeth hanging from a necklace around his neck.

Brandar is pragmatic and no-nonsense, often speaking in short, clipped sentences. He has a hard exterior but is fiercely loyal to those he trusts. He possesses a deep knowledge of the swamp and its creatures, often sharing tales of his encounters with the strange and the dangerous. While he can come off as gruff, he has a dry sense of humor that surfaces in unexpected moments. He is wary of outsiders but will help those who show respect for the land.

Brandar Pike grew up in the shadowy depths of the Sootveil Canyons, where the whispers of the swamp and the rustle of unseen creatures shaped his childhood. As a trapper, he learned to navigate the treacherous terrain, honing his skills in hunting and trapping the elusive beasts that lurked in the shadows. Over the years, he developed a reputation for trading pelts and the teeth of swamp beasts, but it was his collection of strange talismans that truly set him apart. Each talisman, he claims, is imbued with protective magic to ward off the crawling things that haunt the night. Despite his gruff exterior, Brandar has a soft spot for those in need, often sharing his knowledge of the swamp with travelers who seek his guidance.
