Personality: Clovis is an adventurous soul, though some see him as a cocky and reckless boy. His friends around the Guild know him as being headstrong and a bit argumentative and hotheaded, but he does have a kind and nurturing streak and has been seen to actively help out the younger street rats around Twig Town.
Clovis is very good at writing and languages. When he was young, he often rejected opportunities to play with the other children in favor of perusing through his father's old collection of books. As he got older, this fascination with literature turned into a love of linguistics. Those who don't know his past often wonder what a boy like him is doing out with the Thieves' Guild when he could be pursuing becoming a scholar of sorts.
While generally rather intelligent and 'book smart', Clovis has a bit of an inflated idea of his own maturity. His ego can often get in the way when interacting with others, enforcing their perception of him as an ostentatious brat.
Clovis is a general optimist and loves a good joke or riddle. Halflings have a reputation as affable creatures, and for the most part Clovis is no different. When not being a hot-tempered or pompous, he can be quite a good friend to those who gain his trust and affection.
Living out in the streets a couple years has instilled in him a bit of distrust for other people. While not paranoid, he is always prepared for even his closest friends to turn on him.

Parents: His mother, Eliza Sackville, is deceased. She died giving birth to his younger sister. Clovis was only 2 Halfling years old at the time and doesn't have many memories of her. His father, Ulric Sackville, always had a good relationship with all his children. When he died of disease when Clovis was 10 Halfling years, he and his siblings were grieved beyond imagination.
Siblings: All in all, Clovis originally had four older brothers and a younger sister. The sister and his second-oldest brother are dead of the same illness that took his father. Their names are Talliver, Flynn (deceased), Conric, Quince and Lena (deceased). Quince and Clovis fought a lot as children, but he had a pretty good relationship with his other four siblings. Talliver went off to sea and is now a successful pirate captain, Flynn was a blacksmith's apprentice before his death, Conric and Quince own a tailor shop together, and Lena had no profession before her death as she died at only 8 Halfling years old.
Childhood: Clovis was born one Winter afternoon. He was a bit premature, but was able to survive infancy with a little help from the local healers. His family already consisted of four little boys. At the time of his birth, Talliver was 6 hobbit years old, Flynn was 4, and the twins Conric and Quince were 2. The first year or so of Clovis's life was not very eventful, just a usually Halfling baby life of crawling around and doing baby things. Then, about a Halfling year and a half later, his mother was expecting again. The pregnancy was normal, but there were severe complications during the birth of the baby girl and his mother ended up dying of infection the next day. Clovis, being only two years old at the time, didn't have many collected memories of his mother. Sometimes, if he thinks about it deeply enough, he can sort of remember the sound of her voice a little bit, but there was never a proper portrait painted of her. His father's quick sketches are the only hint he has as to what she might have looked like.
The years went by and Clovis grew up into a mischievous and funloving boy who also happened to have a passion for reading. While he enjoyed playing outside with his siblings, the best moments of his childhood were spent curled up in his father's lap with an old book of mythical tales.
Then, when he hit the age of ten, a plague swept through Twig town. They all got sick, and only Talliver truly recovered. His father, sister and second oldest brother died, and Clovis and the twins were left sickly and weak and missing their father.
Left as orphans, Talliver went out to sea as a cabin boy on a voyage, never to return. Word is he became a pirate captain and is doing very well indeed. The younger three were sent to an orphanage outside of Twig Town, where Conric and Quince decided to stay until they were old enough to get their professions. Clovis, however, craved adventure and decided to run away.
He lived on the streets for a year, teaching himself how to steal and pick locks and pockets before the Thieves' Guild took him in.
Adulthood: Technically speaking, Clovis is not quite yet an adult.
Special Moments: He has fond memories of perusing his father's library.
Current Events: Still working with the Thieve's Guild but mostly doing his own tasks, Clovis is rather enjoying the life he leads. But he's running low on money, and hearing the tales of what his brother's been up to he's been eager to try mercenary work. So he's off to do some jobs for the vigilants, thinking 'how hard could it be to kill a few monsters'?
