General
Remis was originally trained with daggers, often duel-wielding them backwards using agility and evasive manoeuvres to his advantage. Prior to a journey with a caravan going south, he was trained to use a sword by Matheric and Donhelm, still maintaining the same technique.
He has also been known to adapt to his surroundings. Using anything he can lay his hands on to his advantage. Be it a washing line to whip, a bucket to throw, this is both careless and slightly bizarre, though has proven useful in his miraculous escapes.
When confronted he often tries to talk his way out of conflict, harbouring no great love for the occasion. He is neither physically powerful or aggressive enough to attack without a good cause, nor would he use his fists unless completely necessary due to fear of ruining his garments.

Friends
Matheric Oakheart, who succumbed to his wounds having saved Remis from almost certain death, forced his friendship upon Remis at first, taking him under his wing as a reluctant protégé of sorts. The two became very close friends towards the end.
Donhelm Graymane and Cymaru Graymane watched over Remis almost as Guardians, Donhelm even going as far as to risking his life in order to help Remis out of numerous life threatening scenarios. Cymaru maintained a highly popular tavern within the town.
Jairyth and Adaryn were fellow rivals, frequently crossing Remis on many occasions hunting treasure. The three remain friends to this day.
Enemies
Stanley Bloxwich, having been wronged by Trate and his household of rogues, forever endeavoured to hunt down and destroy each member who stole from his fortune. Remis encountered Stanley years later who threatened to murder Ofelie, the two fought in a duel in which Remis won, though was critically wounded in the process.
Davick Thistlewood, a highly dangerous assassin who continues to hunt Remis to the presant day.
