Backstory

Abel Skidmark emerged from the reclusive Elven monastery hidden deep within the Echoing Pines. Raised under the strict tutelage of Master Zalthor, Abel absorbed ancient teachings and became proficient in the art of shadow manipulation. Unlike his peers, Abel's insatiable curiosity often led him to question the very rules he lived by, resulting in numerous clandestine adventures beyond the monastery's walls. Following a series of unauthorized forays into the dark realms, Abel was exiled from the monastery, a fate seldom seen among the Elves. Having wandered for a time, he now seeks employment in the outer lands, rumored to offer his services to those in dire need of his unique talents, albeit for a substantial price. Despite his stoic demeanor, tales of Abel's exploits and his apparent immunity to fear have seeped through the taverns across the realm. Much about him remains a mystery, including his rapid ascent to renown amongst rogues, mages, and mercenaries alike.
