Arannis Moontalon
Arannis Moontalon
Aoife's adoptive father Arannis Moontalon is a somewhat tall wood elf man with coppery skin, brown hair and hazel-brown eyes. He is a ranger, and one of the elder members of the Order of Anzu's scouting party, of which his son Arramel is also a member. He typically can be seen wearing leather armor, gloves and boots in colors of the nature surrounding the area where the Order of Anzu's village is located, and a cloak when necessary. A bronze Order of Anzu insignia is pinned to his chest. He is rarely seen without a longbow strapped to his back or in hand, a hand crossbow, a quiver of arrows, a beautifully elven-crafted longsword, and a shield. On the rare occasion that it would be necessary, he is a fierce combatant with either a longbow or a polearm from the back of his gryphon companion Notus, named after the South Wind. His children, both rangers, have followed suit and also named their gryphons after the winds. When he and the scouting party are not busy keeping an eye on the movements and activities of the orcs that have set up a war camp not far from the order's village, near the base of Starstruck Mountain, or fighting off creatures that might intend to make meals out of young gryphons, Arannis spends his time crafting saddles, harnesses, and other specialized equipment for gryphon mounts. He lives in the Order of Anzu's village with wife Althaea and son Arramel.

Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Arannis' motivation is the same as all rangers of the Order of Anzu - to protect the gryphons of the Sword Mountains, their village, and their way of life at all costs. Also to train and care for the gryphons that would serve as companions to order members and as mounts to the Waterdeep Gryphon Cavalry, as well as paladins or other adventurers who would seek and are capable of handling a gryphon for a mount.
Likes & Dislikes
Likes learning the capabilities and weaknesses of adversaries for the purposes of being prepared, hunting, training gryphons for riding, teaching children how to become rangers, and leathercrafting. Dislikes orcs, creatures that would harm gryphons, and nobles from Waterdeep who ride their horses too close to the village. Has a particular hatred for chromatic dragons.
