Appearance

Keles stands about five and a half feet tall, with a build that is thin, but well-suited for walking long distances. He shows his Oeridian heritage in his reddish-brown hair and strong facial features, but there is some Suel ancestry in him as well, showing through in his fair skin and ice-blue eyes. Keles keeps his hair short, and tends to be clean-shaven when he can -- though, with his life, that ends up happening less often than he might prefer.
Generally, he wears soft canvas pants of a light color, and a blue linen shirt with long, wide sleeves. He also usually wears a silver-blue cloak, and well-worn brown leather boots.

History

Keles doesn't really talk about his family or past all that much, preferring to keep moving forward. However, he was born in Nyrond, and apprenticed to a wizard after showing signs of arcane talent and an eagerness to learn at a young age. After several years, though, Keles decided that he knew enough to start an adventuring career of his own, and so set out from his master's tower.

He was captured by slavers within a few hours.

However, it was in this decidedly uncomfortable situation that he met his new traveling companions, and began to learn the adventuring wizard's most important and difficult lesson: that while magic is a very important and wonderful thing, it takes steel and trickery for magic to truly shine. Since their successful rebellion and escape, he's traveled with his new companions, had some adventures, and grown rather well.

He still would prefer to forget about that first adventure and capture, though.
