Description
BACKGROUND
Dunnir is the son of Torlen and Delra Vedan, a coupel of Druduar who specialized in "shaped-wood" constructs like furniture and boxes, literally grown on the trees that surrounded their home. It was a quiet and pastoral life, one he longs for even as an "old man" now.

He grew to puberty and had apprenticed to his Father to study the deep and slow magick of their particular Art, learning about the trees and how to move through them, his already drastic height giving him an edge in reaching for limbs and such.

And he would have done well had his home not been destroyed by a marauding band of Rapterans. His parents were fed upon, his home was destroyed and when he returned from the journey to the nearby settlement, he founds the wreckage of his home.

Nobody is sure what happened next, for Dunnir remembers only that he was overwhelmed by great anger and sadness and found himself at the edge of the settlement twenty years later wearing rapteran skins for clothing and in possession of the first of his tattoo foci.

Such testing as has been done can determine that memories have been altered and suppressed. Over the intervening years Dunnir has learned a bit of that missing time, remembering skills and abilities, remembering abilities he had not known he had. His introspection, his dedication and his understanding of tactics (whether conscious or not) have earned him opportunities.

He has worked for the Jarl of three Monts over the decades, gaining their trust though he was unorthodox, to say the least. His mind, some say, was warped because he seems to think like a Rapteran. His methods are often slow and deliberate, he seems to stalk his answers and to eventually find then, making quick decisions based on his conclusions.
PERSONALITY
"Methodical" is the first word that comes to mind when most people consider Dunnir and what he's like. It isn't that he's slow or stupid, indeed he's very bright. However, he believes there's two ways of doing a thing: right and wrong. He believes the "right" way is to make sure it's done to the best of ability and rushing about will most often cause mistakes to be made. He's right more often than not, which is infuriating ot the young.

It is also one of the reasons he's been asked to go on this mission as "advisor".
QUOTE
"Wisdom is the single most-useful tool for with enough, a single man may find a way"
POWERS/TACTICS
Dunnir is slow to act, initially. He will not enter a place he does not know, has not studied and does not know something of. He prefers to be able to anticipate challenges and be prepared for them, at least personally, when they appear. He will advise others, often giving them warning in a fashion he feels most appropriate, but only when asked or tasked to do so.
