Aveloria

A wiry man in his late thirties, Oswin has unkempt dark hair and piercing green eyes that seem to glint with mischief. He wears a patchwork cloak made from various animal hides, adorned with small bones and trinkets that jingle as he moves. His hands are often stained with dirt and remnants of his scavenging, and he carries a satchel filled with his 'protection charms' and other oddities.

Oswin is eccentric and somewhat morbid, often speaking in riddles and sharing dark humor. He is deeply curious about the supernatural and has a knack for storytelling, though his tales often leave listeners feeling uneasy. He is resourceful and clever, always looking for ways to turn his finds into profit, even if it means embracing the darker aspects of his trade.

Oswin Thatch grew up in the shadow of the Briarbone Cairn, a place steeped in dark legends and whispered tales of the dead. Fascinated by the macabre, he became a bone collector, scavenging relics and cursed bones from the ancient burial sites. Over the years, he learned to craft 'protection charms' from the briarbone remains, though many who purchase them find themselves plagued by ill fortune. Despite this, Oswin continues his trade, driven by a mix of curiosity and a desire to uncover the secrets of the past.
