Full Name: Black Tinkle

Appearance: 5’10 165lbs 19 year’s old

Work description: New member to the order of shadow Knights

Personality: Black is first to admit that he’s not the smartest cookie in the jar, but more then makes up for it by his intense loyalty and devotion to any task given even though it might cost him his life.

Background: Black has no knowledge of his life before the age of about 7; his earliest recollection is off cutting purses on the streets of the mining town of Minoc. This wasn’t a good time for Black because he wasn’t really good at it and got caught often and was whipped by the guards often, leaving deep scars down his back and leaving one large scar across his forehead.
Eventually he stole form someone rich enough to have him thrown in to jail. Where some corrupt guards sold him, to the travelling blacksmith, by the name of Wolf.

Wolf was a blacksmith by trade but dabbled also in mining and was working slowly towards his aim of mastering tailoring so he could expand to creating Leather armour.

Wolf took Black under his wing teaching him all he knew of his major craft of blacksmithing which he was a master of. Wolf was a harsh taskmaster but always fair, teaching black at the same time the virtues of the decent man, thrift, sobriety and the need to help his fellow man.

At the age of 16 Black was fostered out to an old caravan guard to be trained in the arts of warfare. Black took to it quickly and became an adept and soon mastered the arts of fencing and tactics.

Shortly after Blacks 19th birthday he ventured to Shame at the behest of Tanis, who had just been recently killed there from what he called a lurer and some Earth elementals. Black strode into the entrance, finding it pitch black he reached into his bag and pulled out a black potion and swigged it down, causing the area to light up. Ahead he saw 4 Earth elementals standing around the corpse of Tanis and his dead mount a few steps away. He strode forward yelling to attract the attention of the Earths. As one they turned and attacked.

One by one they fell to the master crafted spear that Wolf had crafted him.
Tanis ran forward to his body removed one bag then disappeared with only a slight shimmer in the air to show what had happened. Black stood watch over the corpse as items seemed to disappear, then Tanis reappeared. He muttered some words and Black’s wounds were no more, he thanked Black for his valiant effort and made him a gift of the armour he was transporting to his liege. It turned out later that Tanis was also carrying a large amount of gold and valuable enchanted weapons.

From that day forth Black went back to shame trying to assist those in need.
