Cassian Keyes is a notable figure among the folk of Fair Coin—a young half-elf whose presence is as commanding as his reputation. Born to the town and bound to its lands, Cassian's life threads through the community like the sturdy oaks he fells.
Early Life and Skills
In his early twenties, Cassian embodies the vitality of youth and the wisdom of his elven heritage. Known throughout Fair Coin for his unparalleled skills as a woodsman, Cassian's mastery with the shortbow is the stuff of local legend—a crackshot who can split an arrow already embedded in the target.
The Lumberjack's Dilemma
Cassian's occupation as a lumberjack has seen him walk a fine line with the local druidic community. His need to harvest the forest's bounty for the town's growth has clashed with the druids' mandate to protect nature. Despite this, Cassian has shown a profound respect for the woods he tends, often engaging in lengthy discussions with Padan, the high druid, to find a balance between progress and preservation. Mayor Malcolm Oaksides, recognizing the importance of both parties, has frequently and adeptly defused any tension, ensuring Fair Coin's harmony.
Valor in Battle
During the fateful Battle of Fair Coin, Cassian's true mettle was unveiled. As danger loomed, it was he who stood firm at the town's gates, rallying the guards and orchestrating a defense that would see the citizens of Fair Coin sleep safely in their beds that night. His leadership was not appointed by title, but by the trust and hope he inspired in his comrades.
A Reluctant Leader
Despite his natural leadership and the town's desire to see him as the captain of the guard, Cassian eschews official titles. He perceives his role as a duty rather than a position of power—a protector who stands watch so others might live without fear. In the eyes of Fair Coin's people, however, Cassian Keyes is already what he hesitates to become: their guardian, their unwavering bulwark, and the unofficial captain of their hearts.
