Ishmael
Opportunities may arise in the most unlikely of circumstances
Description: Ishmael has an intelligent look about his face. He is always aware of the conversations and subtle manipulations that seem to go on around him. His skin is dark, showing that he is from the far south of the Arvum continent and well adapted to life there. His hair is cut close to his head to keep out of the way. He is well put together, though not physically strong since it is obvious that he is more accostomed to work indoors then anything physical
Personality: Ishmael is someone who is eager to help out. He takes a great deal of pride in his work and his ability to be of use to those that he serves. He is always polite, though not above giving his own opionion. Still, even in disagreement he is able to maintain a level of respect. Ishmael has spent a great deal of time serving the nobility, so his manners are more polished then the average commoner but he still does not step out of line.
Background: Ishmael was born to a family of low significance in Gilden lands to a blacksmith. It was clear from a young age the boy was not made to be a smith, though fortunately he had some older brothers who could take over the business should his father grow ill. The boy was uncommonly bright though. He started off by handling payments his father received, and working with other suppliers to lower the cost of production. His father saw a bright future for his youngest son, and got him to apprentice for another merchant in the city. It was while working there, that he ran into the Previous Barron of House Gilden. Impressed with the lads intelligence he brought him in to manage his household. Ishmael excelled at his position and continues to serve House Gilden to this day. Though word has spread of some of the issues they have faced with the Baron's son being killed. Eager to assist, Ishmael dispatches himself towards Arx to serve his family and his new Baronness.
