Requirements:

Background:

Appearance: Build: Stocky, with a paunch, but not seriously overweight. Hair: Black and balding, with a small neat mustache. Eyes: Black, sometimes dull; piercing when he wishes. Skin: Tanned and weathered.

Personality/Bio: Patient and observant, in appearance and manner Pindar is not unlike a quieter and slightly thinner version of Lou Grant. He makes a point of listening carefully to others, and thoughtfully responds to any points of concern. He has an understated but natural air of authority, and a wry sense of humor. He will not discuss his personal background or religious beliefs. Pindar might be found working as a factotum for a merchant or other middle-management position. As his spells indicate, however, he's capable of surprises. He has probably done some thieving in the past, and though he's no longer an active thief, he might be willing to use his skills in a good cause.
