Background:
Boone “the Blackcloak” Estephus never wanted to be a warrior. Apprenticed as a youngster to one of the senior wizards of the famed adventuring company The Diogenes Society, Boone was content to learn the finer forms of the Arcane Art from his master without getting his hands dirty. He reveled in the simple cantrips of his chosen profession, even going so far as to start practicing as a hedge wizard based solely on his talents with the powers of the Illusionist school. As a hedge wizard—and natural charlatan—Boone traveled with a carnival, discovering in time a natural facility with simple tricks and misdirection. He soon came to love the orb and its ability to paint the world in phantasms, and for many years, he lived his life convinced that he need never do more with his magic than entertain the gullible with a small set of simple illusions and sleights of hand.

Unfortunately, Boone’s idyllic life as a traveling hedge wizard could not last forever. An attack by a goblin tribe destroyed the carnival at which he was practicing, and though Boone survived—barely— he was forced to leave his refuge, never to return. He hit the road as a reluctant adventurer, heading out with little more than an orb, his spellbook, and an old sword that he finally admitted he was going to have to learn to use.

Appearance and Mannerisms:
Boone is a white male, thirty-six years of age. He is of average height and weight for a human, although he is thinner now than he was before he left the carnival. He has brown hair that he trims very close to the scalp in order to hide—or at least de-emphasize—his receding hair line, and he wears a closely trimmed beard that has lately become flecked with patches of grey and white.

As a practicing illusionist, Boone pays careful attention to the image he projects to strangers. To this end, he generally dresses in a wizard’s robes with a full-length black cloak worn as a mantle. Boone often wears the cloak with its hood up because he thinks that this makes him look mysterious. He also wears a longsword girded to his left hip though he prefers to use the weapon as a magical focus rather than as a true melee weapon.

Personality Traits:
Boone is naturally studious, polite, and inquisitive. He likes to read and disdains physical labor. In fact, Boone prefers the finer things in life, though he’s always been of modest means and has had little personal experience with true luxury. However, Boone is naturally more doer than thinker. Moreover, as a nearly middle-aged one-time hedge wizard, Boone has seen a lot and has had more than a few chances to get his hands dirty. Boone’s decision to take up the adventurer’s mantle has only reinforced an unfortunate tendency he has to get involved with things that he would probably really rather leave alone—if he ever gave such matters sufficient thought. However, Boone has lived by his wits for too long to simply live-and-let-live. His tendency is to rush in headlong before sizing up the risks involved, often to his enduring horror.

Boone can be decisive when necessary, and he will argue for a point that he believes in it, but he is no leader. Instead, he will happily follow the lead of a group, expressing himself strongly only on matters of which he has personal knowledge or experience. However, given the breadth of Boone’s education and travels, his knowledge encompasses a vast array of topics.

Boone is quick-witted and personable in conversation, but he has an annoying habit of referring to himself in the third person—as “the Blackcloak.”

Rune was created to aide his master, Titinius, in order to eliminate the threat of Goblins, Orcs, and Ogres from the mountains surrounding his hometown, Varngard. In order to increase the effectiveness of Rune, Titinius inscribed numerous runes and sigils on his body to act as a focus to imbue more spellpower in Rune's spells. For 12 years, Rune was an effective warrior defending Varngard from getting overwhelmed, however they were finally overwhelmed. There was nothing Rune could do but try his hardest and taking down as many enemies as he could before he too was incapacitated. The battle was grueling, but in the end Varngard was lost, as was his master. For the next year, Rune has been wandering around attempting to fight off all Goblins, Orcs, and Ogres as well as finding other adventures to aide him in reclaiming his old hometown and allowing his master to rest in peace.

Orion walked east across the endless sun-parched desert. There was nothing left for him in the land of his people. His small monastery stood abandoned, for many years. When he returned for the second and final time it was empty, his master departed. For a long time he stayed there, restoring the paint, carving the Heart Sutra into the platform of the floating monastery. He found the book his master had left underneath the Sacred Statue, of the sacred forms. And for many years he studied them, perfecting his body and his mind. And then there was nothing left that he could learn, and the memories of his youth hurt deeply still. So Orion packed his bag for his journey, to find more students of his art, to delve deeper into flows of the forms and study at the feat of the great masters.

Maybe then he could find peace; for as he walked east the knife in his pack still weighed heavily on his soul, even after so many years.
