Name: Tybalt Varlan Faction: Roving Clans Description: A man in his upper 20's, Tybalt has a solid build, tan skin that has visibly seen the test of rough weather and lots of travel. Has a solid build from hard labor that belie his more modest upbringing, rather than the cultured look one might expect from a rich merchant. Tall, he is well dressed in light brown robes with blue clothes beneath, accented with a red sash and some gold heirlooms. Has a well cropped beard, and moderately long brown hair. Also has a scar on his lower left arm from an old wound, though he doesn't go out of his way to hide it. Goals/Fears: Save Auriga, duh. Besides the big picture thing, he's also seeking to use this quest as the boost to his political capital he needs, to rise to the position of Head of All Clans. And making a profit wouldn't hurt either. In counterpoint though, he fears failure, the disgrace that that would bring upon his clan, and the corresponding loss of status. Poverty he can recover from, but the stigma of a failure of this magnitude will in all likelihood never go away. Equipment: A Glaive, well maintained and useful for fighting on the ground or mounted on a beast. Leather armor that protects without restricting his movement too much. Carries several maps and scrolls that mark out routes used by traders, natural hazards, and the like to make traveling easier, this mostly for areas he has never been himself. Also has a tendency to have an assortment of random junk on him, because you never know when that sort of thing might be valuable. Skills: Has basic combat skills, specifically with spear type weaponry, and is adept at riding most any beast that can be mounted, whether it be a beast of burden or a war beast. Also knows how to use ranged weaponry, though he is less skilled at that. He is also a merchant, skilled at negotiation and bartering, as well as appraising the value and worth of goods. Has a trained memory to remember places, faces, and that sort of thing. Also has some skill in working with less than legal elements in society, giving him access to resources that normal people wouldn't be able to call upon. Personality: Tybalt is self confident, to the point of being cocky. At the same time though, he has a quick wit and a tendency for scheming, and as a result he can hold grudges, though it may not seem it. Values family and the efforts that one may take to help their family, even at their own expense. Otherwise though, he seems like a perfectly agreeable person who has an eye for the long game He also likes to enjoy the finer things in life, with e penchant for wine and literature. Background: Born to a minor clan in the traveling life of the Clans, he knew hard work and ambition from a young age. He managed to become a journeyman to a more successful merchant. He was able to travel, and built up connections across Auriga for a time. Growing up, he eventually struck out into business for himself, departing on good terms with his mentor. After that he built himself up, starting small businesses that he managed to divest himself of for a profit. With that, some skill, and good luck, he worked himself upwards, eventually taking over leadership of his clan with the death of his father and the approval of the rest of the Clan, and becoming a major trade mogul after a time, managing affairs across many of the major cities of Auriga. He made many enemies in the process, but that has not deterred him in his rise. With that growth in his business and prestige, he worked it into a position on the Council of the Roving Clans, the closest thing the disparate group has to a national leadership. Now he has volunteered to assist the Tribunal in their goals. All out of the goodness of his heart, of course.
