He came to Farhold, it is said, like so many adventure-seekers from the
Southern lands: following the Gold Road north. "North lies Gold," the Tallustran
saying goes, "as does danger and sorrow." Little else is known of his origins.
It is in the details that Wezborrikas (known as "Wez" to friends) betrays
hints of his personality and past. Observe his whip and you will see fine copper wires
braided through the length of it, a hint of his mage abilities. His hands are unusually
callused from years of hard work, as on a farm, though they have begun to soften somewhat.
And yet this was no simple laborer: his hazel eyes are shrewd and intelligent, and there
is sometimes the soft glint of humor in them. He talks of beekeeping with knowledge and
fondness, and can grade the honeys and meads of a region with authority. In fact, he has
been known to gather honey in the wild for his companions with nary a sting to show for
it.
He often wears a sprig of local greenery pinned to the lapel of his robes, as if to
remind him of the green meadows and woodlands which enriched his youth. Strange that such
a one would be found clambering over the rocky hills of the Northlands, or clambering
through the dank chambers and passages of ancient ruins or caverns. But such is the life
of the adventurer.
His demeanor is generally good, it is reported, although there are times when he seems
to reflect sadly upon events of his past. Of his wizardly mentor, he speaks very little,
although it is known that Wezborrikas had not one, but two mentors: the second after some
ill fate befell the first. Wezborrikas has been observed spending much time at the Guild
of Scribes in Farhold, seeking after knowledge following the strange disappearance of his
second mentor. Wezborrikas has also studied a variety of disciplines, including alchemy
and herbalism. He is very clearly comfortable around animals of all types, and can ride
capably. He has a pet weasel named Iam and used to have a Sun Dog and Caladite Watcher as
pets, but those were given over to the care of others during the course of adventuring.
He seems most jovial in the company of other mages, such as Mica and Milara, although
he often confers privately with Savannah the Rogue and Talig the Warrior about matters of
unknown import. Still, he has demonstrated considerable loyalty to all his fellow
adventurers. In battle, Wezborrikas has exhibited bravery and resourcefulness, although
some think him too cautious. But how else to judge someone who has seen strange fates
befall his mentors? Although he has used his magical powers in battle more and more
exclusively, Wezborrikas has been observed to use not only his whip, but a strange
tubelike device, through which small barbed darts can be propelled by the force of his
breath.
Those who have scrutinized Wezborrikas closely will shake their heads when asked to
speculate on his true motives and ambitions, although it is clear that the quest for
knowledge and experience is a paramount concern. The wise might simply shrug and say,
"I think, perhaps, it is somewhat a mystery to him, as well...who knows the heart of
a man, but that man?"
