Garanon
Garanon (aka Kanteel, aka Gillimar) is a human rogue. He has a deep, resonant voice that transfixes all who hear him. He keeps a detailed journal of all that happens around him and he shows remarkable talent at fighting.
He has posed as his brother, Kanteel, a cleric, and as Gillimar, a priest of the Black Eucharist. He has been affiliated with Kallad Shadowglenn, Shae's father. He was killed trying to prevent Kallad's henchman and the Black Eucharist from attacking the Baron's Crusaders.
Or so everyone thought. He faked his death using a powerful herb and rejoined the group through Kallad in Ashe's Tower. Then he was apparently killed by Gan in the Eye of the World. But now he apparently is still alive and walking.
He was wanted for treason by the King's court, but he professes his innocence.
When they were young, Kanteel's and Garanon's father and mother were killed by an orc raiding party that took all they had. They were poor farmers, but the monsters destroyed the livestock and burnt the cabin to the ground. Unfortunately, Kanteel was a child and still in the cabin at the time, hiding under the bed. The cabin burnt to embers around him and severely disfigured his face. Luckily, clerics from the nearby monastery saw the burning cabin and rushed to his rescue. Though it was too late for his parents, the clerics healed him--at least the pain and the wounds. The scars remain, and Kanteel keeps himself constantly cloaked so that his ugliness will not attract attention. The clerics raised him from the time he was young, and he joined their ranks when he was old enough.
Garanon went with Kanteel to the monastery, but he could not submit to joining the order. His yearning for the outside world grew stronger, and he knew that he should return to pursue a career in the service of the Baron, as the Baron pays for the monastery. Garanon thus easily masked himself as his brother and hid a tattoo on his neck from authorities looking for him. He is wanted for treason under penalty of death. His exact crime is yet unknown.
Garanon retains a deep and unholy feeling of vengeance on orcs. Although he could never explain such a deep passion for revenge to the elders at the monastery, he thinks his duties in the service of the Baron will help him turn his deep resentment and hatred for the orcish tribes into action against their fiendish lot.
