Personal history

The Slip Away Ranger was human once, and one of the Barron's first knights. He was an intrepid ranger and guided the Barron on many adventures, and was present when the party entered the void between universes. Either during this encounter, or around, the ranger seems to have died. Or at least passed into another world, or been separated from his body. What is known is that his earthly remains were taken back to Wienkauf and cremated, as was custom in his home region, and the urn is in the Barron's hall of treasures. What is also known is stories persist to this day of a way faring ranger, traveling the lands on a permanent adventure, appearing when needed most and then fading again.

Received no formal education but picked up skills while serving as a pathfinder.

Employment

Professional soldier, Barron's retinue, adventurer.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Was originally a pathfinder in the employ of the adventuring Wienkauf and joined his retinue, where he served loyally as a friend and knight. After his disappearance, he seems to be driven by boredom, traveling and helping where he can as his old life no longer has meaning.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Is great with the standard ranger things, such as tracking, inspecting, checking for traps, tying knots and such. He's good at strategizing, such as combat approach and positional warfare, but gets lost in the moment and does a lot of dumb things in combat. Such as following opponents off high drops and bee lining through hazards. Especially moreso since he became effectively undead. May have been what got him killed.

Vices & Personality flaws

Has become numb to death and threat, becoming careless when operating witch others.

Social

Contacts & Relations

Was affliated with the progenetors to the Amber Knights, though they don't interact these days.

Social Aptitude

Very rarely comunicates with others, and may not even be able to. Most of his dialogues are one sided exchanges, as he leaves behind shimmering runes that can be touched to reveal a secret message. These are often little tips and tricks, such as 'Try jumping' and 'Treasure ahead'. They can also be missleading, such as leaving 'Fatty' in hard to reach places. He can even more seldomly be called through these runes, causing him to pull himself through them and engage with his comrads, although has little to say beyond helping. Often times he doesn't even bother and appears, help with the immediate threat, and departs.
