Zarem Lionheart

A seasoned man in his early fifties, Zarem has short trimmed silver hair, stern teal eyes. His broad shoulders and muscular physique exhibit scars from countless battles. He dons a weathered set of plate armor that gleams menacingly under any light. Around his neck hangs a lion-shaped amulet - a symbol of his bravery.
Despite his tough exterior, Zarem has a deep love for cooking. He insists on preparing meals for his group during long quests, occasionally even involves in 'Cook offs'. He's also unusually superstitious, frequently consulting his lucky lion-totem before making any major decisions.
When not battling beasts or training, Zarem can be found cooking, maintaining his armor, or honing his swordsmanship skills. He enjoys a good pint of ale and often participates in local tavern competitions.
Born to a line of hardy warriors, Zarem has spent his entire life battling and protecting. Tragedy struck his family when a rogue wizard's fire decimated his village. After this incident, Zarem took to adventuring, vowing to protect others from such devastating attacks. His courage and leadership earned him the moniker 'Lionheart'. He happily shares tales of his exploits with younger members of the Adventurer's Guild, hoping to guide them and aware them about the dangers they may face.
Zarem is a paragon of bravery, loyalty, and discipline. He's often serious and isn't known for his sense of humor. However, he is kind-hearted, supportive towards younger adventurers, and always willing to share his experiences and wisdom. In the heat of battle, he is a focused and relentless adversary.
