Description: This young man is corded with lithe muscle and broad of shoulder despite his diminutive height of 5'4" and has a pair of slightly canted, amber eyes and kohl-black hair kept close-cropped to his head, though it tends toward messily sticking up. His forearms and knuckles show signs of mild, fading scars and his hands are callused from some kind of physical activity.

Personality: He struggles with an outward appearance of cheerfulness and calm, but struggles with anger issues. He tries to make light of things, even when it's inappropriate, and is very sarcastic. He has a problem with authority, which manifests with jokes, jibes and taunts. He's also determined, loyal and often single-minded when he's set upon a particular course of action.

Background: Jei was squired to Paere Laerne, an older Knight who had taught Jei for the last couple of years. Jei's family was killed at a young age and he lived for most of his life as an urchin. He made a living by stealing food and necessities for himself and also was apprenticed to a healer who owned an apocathery. She unfortunately died and Jei was forced to steal again. He came across Paere while attempting to steal the Knight's purse. After hearing the boy's tale, he was made into a squire by Paere and was set to be knighted, but Paere died. Jei professes it was illness and a reaction to his medicine, going on to say he had no reason to kill Paere when the man was committed to knighting him soon. But many within Paere's circle claim Jei poisoned the knight because the knight -refused- to knight Jei. Jei has since traveled to try to become a house guard or potentially squire under another Knight with the Deepwood house.
