Gromley
Personal History
Gromley grew up in the bustling city of Umcebo, where he quickly learned the art of survival through illicit means. His keen mind and knack for detail led him to start an illegal copper coin printing warehouse, which operated successfully for several years. However, disaster struck when a fire broke out, destroying his operation and leaving him with nothing but one of the red sacks he used to carry his counterfeit coins. Realizing he needed protection and a new source of income, Gromley turned to the Red Cloaks, knowing they were in need of new members in Umcebo. Despite not being a natural fighter, his sharp mind and willingness to get his hands dirty made him a valuable asset to the group.

Gromley is a slightly overweight halfling with slick black hair and a distinctive appearance. One of his ears is mottled and adorned with numerous piercings, a testament to his rough-and-tumble lifestyle.

He wears a set of borrowed leather armor that doesn't fit him particularly well, along with a red cloak that still bears the crest of the Khorun Mint, a remnant of his past life. Gromley also carries two daggers he took from a fallen comrade, which he uses with surprising proficiency when needed.
