Bio

Name: Archer Hane (INT+2, EMP-1, WP+1, MGT+1, SPD +0) Era & Background: A flashy and charismatic adventurer who tends to be the center of conversation at the bar. Telling wild tales of heroism and discovery from behind his bloodshot eyes, one cannot be certain to discern his truths from fiction. As long as the artifacts continue to reach the University, the Academic Dean cares not how they arrive. Appearance: Wild red hair, bloodshot eyes, and a tan weathered face. Personality & Skills: Intelligent, quick with a remark, sarcastic, and he thinks he is funny. Fluent in Latin and Ole English, He claims to have found, and potentially be in possession of an original manuscript of William Shakespeare's plays. Oh, and be sure to ask him about Egil Skallagrimsson's axe. Interests: European history. Obsessed with Viking lore. His one memorable discovery to yet be discovered: Finding his own family's connection to the Viking exploration of North America. He is particularly infatuated by Freydís, the daughter of Erik the Red who explored North America. Archer's been told by generations that his family is directly related to Erik the Red. Secret Life: Monster hunter. In reading the histories of Norse Mythology, he is obsessed by the myriad of monsters that roamed the earth in the time of the Vikings. Real or imagined, often his tales mirror what he has read about. He wants to slay a dragon. Family Dynamics: Strained. Often out of the country, his relationship with his family and siblings often leave more to be desired. Even though his academics were paid for by his father, he tends to make excuses that his travels are "what father paid for", thereby justifying his absence from family affairs. Yet, he is tied deeply to his own familial line.
