Personal history

Sildar grew up in Phandalin, the son of a local brewer. His parents died his senior year of high school, leaving him devastated and aimless. He ran off to Neverwinter, but with little experience and a backwoods education, he soon found himself barely scraping by. In his desperation, he took a position in the Neverwinter Armed Forces. He found military life suited him, and he soon proved himself to his superiors. His strong body and sharp mind both served him well, and he rose in the ranks after several successful campaigns in the northern frontier (it was during one of these excursions that he met Gundren Rockseeker). After ten years of service, Sildar retired, first back to Neverwinter, but he soon grew tired of city life and longed to return home.

Education

Sildar finished high school in Phandalin. Being a backwoods education, he didn't learn as much as one would in a larger city. He has a basic understanding of common tongue, as well as some math skills. He excelled in history, and has an extensive knowledge of the history of Faerun, as he's always engaged his habit of reading about historical events.

Employment

Sildar is retired from the Neverwinter military will a full pension.

Accomplishments & Achievements

He attained the rank of Master Sergeant in the Neverwinter armed forces after successfully repelling a Duergar attack on a Neverwinter outpost under very dire circumstances. He and his troops held off the enemy's advance for a full ten-day until reinforcements arrived. Sildar is credited with slaying the enemy captain with a well-placed crossbow bolt, though none could say for sure which if the dozens of bolts actually delivered the killing blow.

Failures & Embarrassments

Sildar's greatest failure, he feels, was never telling Adabra how he feels about her.

Mental Trauma

The sudden death of his parents left deep wounds that haven't fully healed. There was no major event, his dad just died in his sleep one night, and a few weeks later so did his mother. Aside from that, he has a bit of PTSD from the trauma of war he has experienced over the last decade.
