Trane Montage

Background/History

Trane Montage grew up in Riversbend, which is a small mining town in the snowy north beyond the Shadow Peaks. His elven mother was won by the local drunk, named Duelix, during a card game. She kept his house clean, washed clothes for money, took care of Duelix's other son, and prepared what meager suppers they could afford. However, during their first spring together she became heavy with child. Trane was born that winter in the ramshackle shed because his father had a card game at the house.

During the deepest part of the winter his mother took sick and died just a few days later. The local priest witnessed her death wish that her belongings were to be divided evenly amoung the boys. She knew her husband would simply drink away everything she managed to save - at least now the boys would have the means to care for their father.

It wasn't that Trane's father was a bad man - he was just caught up in himself to much to see the world around him. He sold fake maps and 'healing' elixers to those travelling to the northern most silver mines. He bought large tracts of worthless land and sold it to anyone with enough money and little wit. It was in one such scheme that he sold a rather large parcel of land to his sons. Personality/Motivation

Trane hates thieves and bullies with a passion, which stems from his dislike of his father. While he doesn't need the money he will often hire himself out to protecting or retrieving things of value. He has captured such notable thieves as The Raven, Black Rose, Caerl the jibber, Marcos Delabarre.

While on the jobs Trane use anything necessary to accomplish the goal. He has planned contingences for his contingences for every possible result. More than one thief has slipped through his web only to be caught in the next layer. Even the famed Raven only managed to pierce a few of his plans. Powers/Tatics

Trane collects magical and mundane gadgets of all types. He maintains himself and his equipment in the perfect condition.

Most of his weapons will be imbued with at least minor enchantments; although he will always carry at least one mundane weapon. Appearance

Trane Montage is built more like his human father. He stands 5'10“ tall with rich black hair and dark brown eyes. While he is not handsome many women have commented that he eyes seem soulful or saddened.

On the trail he is usually outfitted in light leathers with a sewn patch on his right arm (two birds on a stylized leaf - his mother's clan). A simple broadsword, some daggers, and small crossbow round out his weapons. In town he will wear a light blue shirt and black breeches under the leather jerkin.

When prepared for combat he will don a chain hauberk, steel cap, and carry a short war axe.
