Rowan is very tall and noticeably strong. His steps seem to hush a bustling tavern. A common thug would certainly think twice before engaging with him.

Body Features

He has large hands and feet, and a significant amount of body hair.

Facial Features

It's obvious he was handsome at one point and he still is, but it's clear he's been in more than a few fights. He can grow a beard quite easily and has a short one almost all the time. His eyes are his most attractive feature and reveal the most about his character. He has farily long hair and wears it in different styles depending on the circumstance but it never grows past his shoulders.

He's a bit of a slow walker.

Mentality

Personal history

Rowan has no memory of his parents, they were most likely nobodies who got together for a quick fuck and nothing more. He was born in the gutters of Primrow. By the age of six his parents were both long gone and he was all alone. He quickly learned his way around the streets and became something of a bruiser among the other urchins, taking apprenticeship under the older kids until eventually he was big enough to beat people up on his own. Once he was fully grown he achieved a relative position of power in a gang known as The Fist. It's a very straightforward name for an organization with a very straightforward purpose: Impose power over others using force.
 
Rowan's job was slaving. He would grab enemies of The Fist at night and sell them off to be used in the Underdark. He was quite good at this he never felt too bad given that enemies of The Fist were usually scum themselves.
 
The cracks began to show when Rowan's boss (in a fit of rage) ordered the execution of some of Rowan's peers when some potential slaves didn't end up where they were supposed to. Rowan knew his time would be coming to an end if he didn't get out of there, but he also knew running away wasn't an option. Rowan knew he couldn't take down The Fist by himself so he devised a plan. He framed the organization by setting fire to one of many personal treasuries belonging to The House of Primrow and leaving a signature that would lead right back to his boss. The House leaders aren't keen on such a disrespectful act and immediately took action by butchering anyone they could find belonging to The Fist. By the time the dust settled Rowan was already long gone. He vowed to never step foot in Primrow again for fear that The House might discover it was him who burned their wealth.
 
Rowan drifted for a while before stumbling upon an obscure fishing town called Piscis. It was an unassuming place one wouldn't expect to find much trouble in. He liked it there and moved in at a little boarding house. After spending a few weeks working at the docks though, it became clear the town was under the control of a massive goliath named Kazalok along with his band of goons. Rowan promised himself to stay out of it. Unfortunately trouble seems to stick to Rowan like a dragon sticks to treasure. Kazalok came down to the docks one evening right as work was coming to an end. He started demanding Rowan to pay a protection fee. To make a long battle short, Rowan quite literally ripped Kazalok's head off and fed it to the fish. While the people of Piscis were better off without the bully, it was obvious Rowan was not welcomed there after such a violent display. You can't have a peaceful town without the violent determination of a man like Rowan, but a man like Rowan has no place in a peaceful town after showcasing such violence.
 
He became a bounty hunter figuring he could put his talent to good use. He wanted to bring those like Kazalok to justice without having to live among civilized people. He never stayed in one place for too long but he did do most of his work around a city called Grados. Grados is built like a fortress and has the best banks in the land because of it. Rowan didn't have much use for money so he put most of it away into a bank called Zebol's Vault. After depositing his latest reward, he saw a group of local guards mocking a homeless half-elf. Rowan knew what it would cost him but he stepped in anyway. He gently told them to leave the poor guy alone but they didn't stop. Eventually they started beating up on the half-elf. Rowan shoved the boldest of the guards back and stood between the them and the half-elf. There were five of them and they now intended on arresting Rowan, he knocked the manacles out of their hands and that's when the real fight began. Swords were drawn but these guards were no match for Rowan, he disarmed all of them but their leader who wouldn't back down. He swung hard and fast at Rowan but his attack was dodged and countered with a greatsword through the gut. He was now a wanted man and it took him two weeks to safely escape the city. For now all of his money is still in Zebol's Vault.
