Just figured I'd post an NPC I made today, free for anyone to use. In my game, I'm starting the players just after the Night of Fire. This particular character is a community member for my conquest based group (Running probably 4 groups of 3 or so), and is the first I've developed for this community. The historysection goes up to the morning just after the Night of Fire, and with limited space I couldn't expand too much. He was more or less taken from the Talented Soldier template and altered slightly.
The location was a more or less abandoned outpost in Palantra. Palantrans were stationed there just to keep them busy out out of Ascondea's hair. Even after they were allowed into The Empire, they weren't thought to be of much use. The morning after the Night of Fire, Elves, Dwarves, a few Loranthians, and even Goblins appeared in the center of town. That is about where Malik's story line stops, awaiting for the players to aid in development.
Hope you enjoy.
