Korlin
|
Korlin is around twelve years old, no one can be entirely certain due to the nature of his past. He stands at four feet and eight inches, not quite old enough for that next growth spurt to push him to a more respectable height, and his frame is relatively skinny at ninety-four pounds. He has short fuzzy white hair on his head and skin a nice even tan from the sun. His eyes are a deep brown that dart around constantly trying to keep track of everything going on at any given time. The child was born originally as a wolf, but bore the lycanthropy curse for his entire life. It wasn't until he reached adolescence that he changed for the first time, transforming into a raging werewolf that was bent only on destruction. His frenzied path took him through the forests to the stables of the Broken Dagger where he slew two horses before Alchydiir took him down with an arrow and nasty dagger wound to his back. When he reverted forms into a child, instead of the wolf body that he had known his entire life he was terribly frightened and disoriented. Alchydiir enlisted the aid Tiludwa, an orc woman, and together they managed to restrain the boy enough to dose him with herbs that sedated the struggling child. They took him to the Rememdium Edificium to have his wounds treated, where they learned of his fast regenerative abilities. Since the the Edificium was overcrowded with Bloody Flux patients Alchydiir opted to take the boy into his own care. He secured a room in the Dagger and spent the next several days trying to calm the boy enough for him to learn how to operate as a person instead of a wolf. He named the child Korlin and has been keeping watch over him since. Korlin still lacks a lot of basic comprehension in regards to the world of man, conversation being completely lost to him. He has picked up on a lot of things by watching others and attempting to mimic them. He is still very defensive and insecure, often fleeing when too many people are around, or assuming aggressive stances if he's cornered. He's learned that the tavern is an incredibly easy source of food, oftentimes meals are handed to him or are easily aquired in the kitchen.
