Biography
A mute minstrel from the Murmurwoods, he was born into a telepathic forest community and never needed words — until one day he came to the aid of a lost dwarf and his ram, using his flute to bridge their worlds.
Now a wandering musician, he discovers melodies that enhance each creature’s strengths, inspiring confidence and skill. Though unremarkable himself, his music forges deep, wordless connections, drawing travelers to his side.
Specialization
At the beginning of each round, he generates +2 Focus Point(s), plus another +1 for every 3 hero level(s). The enemy loses the same amount of Focus Points.
