Roban Brightkindling

Roban Brightkindling is a male Hinfallah thief. He is 4'1" tall, weighs nearly 45 pounds, has green eyes and black hair.

Backstory
Roban came to his vocation in a rather unusual manner. Simply put, he’s a dead ringer for one of the most infamous halfling thieves that ever graced the city of his birth, Donium - a second story burglar and cut-purse by the name Moresh Spindlemane. As much a surprise to Roban as to anyone else, the young halfling found an innate talent for the work when he was put on the spot to do an improvised break-in by the local cartel.

Within a week, it came to his attention that Moresh had left town after securing his fortunes through a decade’s worth of crimes, leaving Roban to either pick up the slack, flee or die. Roban stepped into the role with finesse and grace, and while lacking the raw experience of a thief nearly twice his age, he is a fast learner and eager to remain among the living.

In recent months, Roban has come to the attention of the local constabulary as is often the case for a young thief. Roban, however, by dint of raw intellect, was able to turn even this challenge into an opportunity. Recognizing that by being a ‘decent law abiding citizen’ who just ‘happens to occasionally bend the law’, he could play one side (the cartel) against the other (the law). In this manner, several of the lower tier members of the local cartel have been apprehended and Roban has been overlooked for one or two minor infractions.

Recent Events
Roban, realizing perhaps that fortune favors the discrete, had left Donium and departed for parts north. It was in this way that he found himself in the village of Foxfield in time for the harvest festival. Not alone among strangers as was the case of those he soon came to call friends, he was, nevertheless, not a local.

When the Orcs came, Roban did what needed to be done. He killed Orcs, with a lot of help from the other strangers in town. When the dust settled and cards had all been played, Roban was quite happily still alive. Perhaps it was the heat in his blood from this accomplishment, perhaps it was racial pride, but when the call went up to seek out the marauders who had attacked the village, Roban was the among the first to volunteer. And so it was that he found himself in unlikely company and leaving the next morning in pursuit of an Orc war party.
