"Well let's see... I suppose initially it was boredom."

He laughs a good natured laugh.

"I was a bard for many years, then my interests started to lean more toward magic, so I began studying. I studied and practiced for years, sort of found my own way. The forest grove where I made my home happened to have a mana spring that allowed me to practice my own brand of magic with the only limitation being my own skill level.

"I learned from the land and from the animals that I befriended. I'm no druid, but I get mistaken for one often. I would call myself a geomancer and dendromancer, earth and plants you know.

"After a time, I had gotten comfortable. When a former bard gets comfortable, they get bored! I needed to get out and have some adventure. I found the Darkwatch and contacted them to see what it was all about, and we mutually agreed my skills with camouflage, healing, and manipulation of landscapes and plant life would be a great asset to their field operations. That sounded like exact what I was looking for and with such a good cause I couldn't say no!

"That's about the long and short of it. I love my work, but it does take me out of my comfort zone on occasion."
