Karven Ditko

Karven is a very powerful human ranger who wanders the wilderness and towns of Esparrus. He dons the pelts of many slain creatures, and uses their claws and teeth as heads for his arrows. He has a rugged charm about him. Not much is known of his past, but the party encountered him during his pursuit of Redd the goblin chief- which has apparently gone on for quite some time. His current location is unknown, and his relationship with the party is neutral to perhaps not-so-great.

Appearance
Karven has long, curly, black hair and a well groomed goatee. His grin is missing a few teeth, but still manages to be rather charming. He wears a lion's mane around his shoulders, and hide armor that seems to be crafted from various creatures he's taken down- notably a leopard pattern on his pants. He wields a longbow that he carved himself, and a fancy rapier is sheathed at his hip. He also has a parasail made from the wing of a pterodactyl-like creature that he took down. It allows him to glide smoothly through the air.

Personality
Prone to monologuing about his past hunts, Karven is at least a skilled storyteller. He calls everyone either "bloke" or "sheila." Although not traditionally attractive, he tends to win folk over with his lion-hearted attitude. He is a vagabond who follows his whims- and of course the biggest bounties he can find. Silva is naturally his goddess of choice, as freedom and individuality are his main driving forces.

Abilities
Karven is well known to be an expert ranger, marksman, and hunter. The Heroes of Fellrock personally know little of Karven's abilities, aside from his parasail and his charm- and the power of deception that comes with that charm. The party did also obtain and use a special arrow created by Karven during the Battle at Fellrock. This Anchor-Root Arrow, branches out into the flesh of its target upon contact, and then again, and then once more for good measure. It is also socketed to allow a spellstone to be attached.

History
Karven's past is not known to the party or the general public at this time. It is known that he has almost captured Redd on two separate occasions, however.

At Present
Karven was last seen in Bristol pursuing Redd. The goblin bandits fled east towards Ellery, and Karven seems to have followed his mark. His exact current location is unknown, however.

Relationship with the Party
The party first met Karven in Bristol. They spotted him using his parasail to quickly glide down from the Sky District to the Ground District. He introduced himself, wanting to get a feel for this new adventuring party that he hadn't yet heard of. He informed them that he too was pursuing Redd and gave them some information to help them in their search. Thinking back, the lead he gave was false and meant to mislead. The party hasn't ran into Karven again since this encounter.
