[b]Title/Rank/Occupation:[/b] Amateur Skald

[b]Skills/achievements/etc:[/b] Plays the woodharp, flute and tambor with varying success. Little else.

[b]Personality:[/b] Galen is, at best, an ambitious musician with a talent for irritating his company. At worst, he's a fool and a craven. He is cynical, loudmouthed, and does not know when to hold his tongue. He thinks he was simply born in the wrong place at the wrong time. His greatest aspiration is to travel with a company of legendary warriors and record their epic story for posterity.

[b]Biography:[/b] Galen was born in a small fishing village on the coast of Alviora, second son to poor parents. His father tried to teach him to sail from a young age, but Galen was always more interested in music: rhythm, rhyme, melody. Eventually, his father stopped fighting it and embraced it: on his fourteenth birthday Galen found a hand-carved flute waiting for him at the foot of his bed. Four years later, disaster struck: the fishing village was plundered by raiders out of Skagastrond. Galen watched, cowering, from under the stairs as his parents were put to the sword. He and his older brother were siezed by the raiders and carted back to Skagastrond, where they were separated. The raiders sold him to an innkeep in Bellara as a minstrel, but when the innkeep heard his painful racket he put him out on the street, where Galen stayed. Since then, Galen has wandered from village to village, seeking odd jobs and inspiration and hoping, one day, to find his brother.

[b]Equipment: [/b] Woodharp, flute, tambor. Fur cloak, under which he keeps a jagged dagger with which, he tells himself, he will stab anyone who tries to attack him... provided he doesn't flee in terror first.
