Appearance
Rion cuts a dashing figure in his big floppy hat with a feather in it, cloak, and soft boots. Tall for an elf, his coloured clothing accents the leather armour he likes to wear as if expecting danger, and he habitually wears his weapons - a shortbow and longsword - to indicate that he is an adventurer. He is handsome and youthful-looking, and is just on the verge of maturity for an elf - though he does anything but act it.

Background
Anaerion was born into an elf community but his fast feet, fast mind and faster mouth meant he found it boring, so he went to live with the much more vibrant-seeming humans instead. He's travelled a lot, rarely paid for a bed or the person in it, and says that he's been married more times than he can remember.
