Character Info

A solidly built Highlander, Tristram Greythorne stands a handful of ilms above the average of his clan. Rusty hued auburn hair, braided and pulled back adorns his crown while betraying his possible age with prominent strikes of grey. Other braids hang freely from the crop of hair, dangle with the bits of rustic ornaments of horn or crudely shaped metal. Sea-green eyes rest under the signature prominent brow of the Highlanders. The right eye has been marked by a scar, like of a blade of some conflict past, while the left is framed with the blue strikes of a tattoo above and below. Staight lines and defined angles form the other features of Tristram's visage, though oft hidden by several days growth on his beard.

While the light of youth does seem to have faded from this man, he does not appear so old to be past his prime but merely in the waning years of it. Tristram's stance and stature show a man who appears to be conditioned towards physical work, and a sureness in of where his body is and what it is doing. Even so, his posture more often than not appears relaxed and at ease. His flesh shows the weathering of constant exposure to the elements, though lacking the deep tanning of those who've spent long hours under pressing sun.

Sighted and seen in many places over the years, Tristram Greythorne might be called nothing more than a drifter, vagrant, or most accurately, refugee. He is a man who's traveled and seen much since the fall of Ala Mihgo, having walked or ridden around the city states of Eorzea. While Tristram is in the employ of the Adventurer's Guild as a hired guide, the man is most often found among the forests and glades with a woodsman's ax gathering timber and other supplies for any who might make the call for it.

History

Born of Ala Mihgo, Tristram spent his early life adrift with many of the other refugees of his homeland after it's occupation by the Garlean Empire. This towering Highlander eventually found himself in the company of adventurers, mercenaries, and explorers, continuing to travel abroad up until the events of the Calamity. The years following have been passed in an apparently quieter existence, whiling his days as a lone woodsman and occasional guide on the borders of the nations of Eorzea.
