BHB Level 3: Gideon T. Buttz

Wood Elf
Hermit
Ranger

Young Gideon lived an idyllic childhood until Ugrak, and Orc warlord, and his horde turned their eyes to his village. They were all slaughtered and Gideon, the lone survivor,  was saved by a wandering human ranger.

The ranger, Ilbert Phoenixpelt, took Gideon in and  trained him as an apprentice.  They spent the next 50 years in the forest as Ilbert grew into an elderly man learning and hunting. Goblins found Ilbert a much easier target in his less than virile state leaving Gideon to discover his brutally murdered corpse.

Completely focused Gideon used the skills Ilbert had taught him to track and kill the leader of the goblin tribe responsible for his mentor’s death. Once he had finished this task, he wasn’t quite sure what to do with himself. Returning home to the forest he had shared with Ilbert seemed somehow wrong without him there.

And so without too much thought Gideon jumped at the chance to accompany his friend Pika on a journey for self improvement and perhaps a bit of revenge. Mostly he worried that Pika would get himself killed right away without him.

During one of his voyages in a great storm he drowned to death but was brought back. His experience with death connected him deeply with Sashelas. Elunir reformed his pirate ways as a sailor on trade vessels, but felt that wasn’t good enough for Sashelas and resolved to do right by him.
