He has a single scare that connects both sides of his head in a horizontal fashion, going through both of his eyes. [b]Personality:[/b] Serhiem is a very sensitive individual, one who will tear up at the sight of the dead or even the sight of a lightly injured animal. However, he is a normally happy individual who is also very peaceful, not wanting a fight. Serhiem is also very forgiving towards others as he does not want to feel hate or a feeling of a grudge towards others.

[b]Patron Deity:[/b] Lucharoc [b]Background:[/b] Serhiem was born into a family of Gallocmen, thus, as a man, he was expected to carry on that legacy and fight for his clan. He was actually quite the good learner when it came to sword-fighting as well, earning praises from many. By the age of ten, he had learned how to properly wield a sword and shield while also taking on a formal education. It was quite the good life for him and he learned that good can be seen in everyone, even if they hail from a rival clan. Unfortunately, that golden period came to an end with his father's death, Serhiem Vashir the First, leaving him the only male warrior left in his household. Of course, Serhiem was happy to oblige to the needs of his family. It was Rain Season and a bandits had come to attack, in an effort to do enough damage to make sure that they would not be able to truly make it to the valley or maybe it was to take food for themselves. Serhiem had stepped up to do battle, following in his own father's foot steps. The lad was sixteen at the time and it had been his first true battle against another clan. Unfortunately, it would end up being the last as well, for a larger warrior had got the upper hand on Serhiem and managed to hit his head with a sword, gashing his eyes and leaving Serhiem blind. Of course, now Serhiem was not that big of a threat so he would be allowed to live and "see" that his clan had eventually won the day. With the loss of his sight, Serhiem was devastated that e could no longer true do anything useful to his clan, becoming more of burden. He could not become a scribe for he required his eyes to write, nor could he become a farmer for he may hurt someone. However, he could teach the people of potentially lead them. Serhiem chose to attempt to become part of the council, he had been denied the first time which then lead him to become a teacher and a philosopher, all to be useful. For many years he had been doing this until the clan leader eventually called upon him to become apart of the council due to his service to the clan during the long trek they all made. Following quickly after the clan settled into the new land, Serhiem was elected to be the Chief of the clan, being supported by both the common folk and the Warriors. It was a job that he did not exactly want, however, he accepted so that the people would be pleased. That and he didn't exactly trust some of the other council to lead the clan in the right direction.
