Languages: Common, Elvish
Weapon of Choice: Longbow
Background:
Tibalt grew up on a farm on the island of Chult. His father was an elf who was very proficient with a bow and taught him how to hunt and gather food to feed his family. His mother was a human who helped tend the crops and deal with the traders as they came to buy their crop yield. In addition, her hobby was leatherwork, and she would often fashion quivers and sheaths for her husband and son. The craftsmanship was not very good, but when Tibalt was younger, she made him a quiver adorned with feathers and poorly carved beads that he still carries to this day.
As a young adult, his family farm was raided by a band of Lizardfolk who had settled nearby after being pushed off their land due to a clan rivalry. Their numbers were too great for Tibalt and his father to fend off. His mother was killed during the raid and their farmhouse was lit ablaze. In a last act of bravery, Tibalt's father led him into the woods behind their farmland and split direction, causing the lizardfolk to follow him deeper into the wood where Tibalt assumes he was killed.
Tibalt fled to Port Nyranzaru nearby where he trained with the local militia as a ranger. He spend the next three decades serving the night watch and protecting the walls of the port city. Seeking to leave his painful memories behind and honor the life of his father, Tibalt took the next boat to Baldur's Gate to pursue new ventures and continue to train in the way of the bow.
Goals: To join the Order of the Bow Initiate and find new opportunities on the Sword Coast.
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: Tibalt never found his father's body, so there is a possibility he is still alive, while unlikely. But as his story unfolds, I'm sure other plot related events will help shape Tibalt as a character as well. I want him to develop more from in-game events rather than what his past holds.
