Valaar

Valaar is a skilled fighter with bastard sword or longbow.

Backstory
Striking but scarred, tips of his ears have been sliced off, also three horizontal scars on each cheek.

After leaving his father's home he sought training as a fighter. Rebelling against what he considered a stifling stultified boring life, he travelled to the edge of the wilds and convinced a crazy old half orc (Ogurr) to train him to fight. When Ogurr initially refused "I'm not going to teach any pansy fucking elf child!" Valaar mutilated his own ears. He now bears many ritual orc styled scars on his face and body.

Valaar still carries the signet ring of his father Valannen on a chain under his tunic,  he wants to make his own way in the world, be his own success, and to have his father recognise he wasn't a mistake. Despite this he rarely worries about long term consequences of his actions.

Valaar never knew his human mother - being told "she was not strong enough". Valaar can pass for full blood human, can curse fluently in orcish (and speak enough to order stew). Valaar does not advertise his elven blood or his family connections, however still has a taste for fine things and always tries to have top quality or nothing. He does have access to a family account with one of the discreet banks but as a point of pride has not had to use it.

After training with Ogurr for several years, Valaar recently came to Stoneshallow as a guard on a merchant caravan bringing valuables to trade in the port city. He has a small room at one of the better boarding houses and takes jobs at the Selfish Adventurers Guild that sound like fun. In between jobs he can usually be found chasing the ladies in the pubs or climbing/exploring the cliffs of Stoneshallow.
