Coldly polite and taciturn by turns, Lament Strife can be
a hard man for those he comes across to take to. The prevalent xenophobia on
the Northern Continent and the fact that he is a shadus certainly does not help
matters and add to this the gargantuan sword he carries on his back, we begin
to see a man who perhaps does not wish to curb this feeling against him.
On
his way to a rendezvous he refuses to say anything about, other than that he
must hurry, he often evokes suspicion from acquaintances and longer term
companions alike. He says nothing of his past, often avoiding questions on it
when asked, creating an air of mystery about himself. The fact that he may have
something to hide deepens the distrust against him.
Conversely,
many of his actions suggest that he is, at heart, a good man, defending those
he meets in situations he may not be expected to. Coupled with his tendency
towards pensive sorrow, he draws fleeting sympathy from his companions, adding
to their burgeoning, if uneasy, friendship.
Lament
Strife is either a man who values privacy or a man with something to hide. The
safety of the group depends on it being the former.
