This debonair Gnomish man has the powers of good looks and deception on his side. He is continuously driven to walk in the direction that feels the most free, whatever that means.
Darwin is a Gnomish lad with a charming smile, flowing purple scarf, and a beautiful face. He has been in The Kolhalt Bastion for the last 4 months or so, at first pulling general scams with his friend Trae, until he pulled a job on the wrong person. This brought him into the fold with The Reach, a large thieves guild in the area. Darwin and Trae have been doing jobs here and there with The Reach, but they have asked the pair to do a job bigger than either was prepared for.

Personal history
Darwin was born into the Shucks family, a family of Gnomes in Sapstone. The first 15 years of his life were filled with mostly good memories of him playing with his siblings, pushing his father to the brink, and dreaming with his mother. However, after the birth of his youngest sibling, his mother suddenly disappeared, no trace accept for a letter written to the family. After this, his father began to detach from everything around him and everybody went into survival mode. The financial situation got more and more difficult, and Darwin was tired of living in poverty, so he decided to use his charm and quick hands to do something about it. However, pickpockets and Charlatans are not welcome on the streets of Sapstone and he was soon thrown in jail. His family paid his bail, but his brothers and father had some very harsh words for him on the other side of the bars. He could not believe that they had the gall to call him selfish, he was doing this for the family. He realized his mother had it right, and he took off north the next morning.

However, he values his own personal freedom more than those around him, and he feels that's how everyone should be. He doesn't want to be a burden, he wants to stand on his own two feet, but if he is able to outsmart people and take what is theirs, particularly those who have a lot, it won't weigh on his conscious the slightest.
