Handles friends with uncertainty, careful not to hurt or annoy them in any way. Socially awkward.</li><li>An angry, impulsive drunk. Usually avoids drinking or imbibing narcotics.</li></ul><br/><strong>History:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Not much known of early history. Was taken off of the streets of Vizima by the Lodge, more as a guinea pig for experimentation with the as of yet untested Trial of the Grasses, as he was already half dead from pneumonia when they found him</li><li>Survived, surprisingly enough, thanks to the use of various concoctions. Trained alongside the first batch of witcher recruits, but was physically inferior to most of the others, looking sickly and thin for the duration.</li><li>Survived the Trial of the Grasses, barely. Whether his difficulty was due to his already poor health or if it was because the lodge tried more variations of mutations on him due to them thinking that he wouldn't survive anyways is uncertain. His modifications made him stronger, although less so than his fellow survivors, but improved hand-eye coordination and reaction time. While he was fairly competent with the pair of blades that he was given, he chose to focus his training on ranged combat with throwing knives, bows and crossbows, instead of hand-to-hand combat.</li></ul><br/><strong>Relationships/Connections:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Conor: "One of my few surviving brothers of the first Trial. A tough sunnova, uses those swords like nobody's business. I've got his back, and he's got mine.</li><li>Elias: "Not quite a little brother, but there is a little feeling of protectiveness from me. That's not to say that he can't handle himself. Better with his blades than I could ever be, and can cook to the point where he could probably make a ghoul taste like roast pork. Still, he's the little brother of the Witcher family, and he's never living that down."</li><li>Bellatrix: "A confusing woman. First she wants me, then she can't seem to get far enough away from me. First she hunts me down to the ends of the earth, and then she acts like it's no big deal. She fires my blood like nobody has before, or since. If it was up to me, things would be simple. But it's not, and things could not be less simple."</li></ul><br/><strong>Additional Details:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Carries a pair of swords, although discarding the longswords that most witchers preferred in favor of a pair of Leaf-Shaped Short Swords (http://catalog.bladeart.com/imgs/ba04392.jpg), which he carries in a single scabbard across his back.</li><li>Known for his use of a Recurve bow (http://archeryhunting-equipment.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/recurve_gall.jpg), with a quiver of steel and silver-tipped arrows that he makes himself. Also known to carrying a selection of throwing knives hidden in handy locations on his body. Sometimes, but rarely, he also carries a crossbow.</li><li>Known to ride a Bay Roan Gelding of no particularly well-known sire or dam. It is a battle horse though, calm and ready. It's name is Duke.</li><li>Has a proficient Northern Realms Gwent deck, tends to play the various spy-use strategies to win.</li></ul>
