Description: Presentation and professionalism rule the way Tavish shows himself to the world. He is tall, though not overly so, but seems taller with his stiff posture. He keeps his auburn beard trimmed short and well maintained. And while he can be a warm person, his neutral state of being often comes off as stern or controlled. Sage green eyes stay observant with out pressing. He is both present and not all at once.

Personality: Tavish is known by those close to him to be a stern but caring man. He provides whatever he can to see that the House he serves is well taken care of and well maintained. His smiles are reserved for those who earn them, a change of pace for the otherwise collected steward. He is not a violent man, but having grown up in the north, he knows how to strike when the time calls. In those moments when he is pushed to act, he does so begrudgingly. Though generally speaking, Tavish is a man of order and intellect, he has a small creative streak that he might express from time to time.

Background: Tavish was born to merchant class parents in the far north duchy of Whitehold. He grew up like most do in the north learning how to fight and protect his family. He was taught all the survival skills necessary to make it on his own in the wildness. One day when he was around twelve years of age he set off with a group of friends for a spring camping trip. While the snow never truly melts in Whitehold, the spring is at least the sign of the beginning of a thaw. A time when traveling out in to the world becomes possible again. Unfortunately, Tavish and his friends we caught up in a freak blizzard that swept through the mountain passes with a vengeance. They were lost in the drifts for nearly a week. Of the five of them that set out on their trip, one of which was a Halfshav cousin, only Tavish returned. His cheerful smiles were dampened by the tragedy and loss after that week. He doesn't like to talk about what happened in the snow.

After what happened, Tavish put up his swords and adventurous tendencies and decided to dedicate his life to the service of others. He learned how to keep an orderly house and serve nobility. No chore too low, no task too demanding, Tavish learned to do it all. He served as valet in the Halfshav Estate in Whitehold for nearly a decade, learning to love the family as his own. When House Halfshav called for a Steward to see to the family living in the city of Arx, Tavish knew his time had come and ceased the opportunity.
