Piers Porter

Piers Porter is a human scientist and historian born in West Corgana. He famously operated his own ferry from the city of Port de Wolfe in Hollowdark to Mausoleum Island to collect and catalogue dragon bones. He was usually accompanied by his friend and business associate Ragard. He currently travels around the world with a band of treasure-seeking adventurers.
==Biography==
Piers was born in White City and graduated from Temple Hill College in 1449 OCA. He isthe son of a biology professor at the College and sought to follow in his father's footsteps from a young age. The funding board of the college thought his graduate thesis, a study of dragon evolution tracing back to thousands of years before the Common Age, was so brilliant that they granted him funding for a dig on Mausoleum Island. 
The trip seemed doomed from the beginning and after months of strange, unexplainable occurances, all of the crew left the digsite. Heartbroken but determined, Piers used the remaining money to establish himself in the city of Port de Wolfe. Here, he met the Wolf-Kin Ragard at a local tavern and the two struck up a friendship. Ragard was the owner of a small ferry and Piers came up with an idea. Using his meager remaining funds, he upgraded Ragard's ferry into a vessel seaworthy enough to reach Mausoleum Island, and began charging local adventurers and curious tourists a small fee for a ride to the Island. The venture proved to be a success and Piers split his time between digging at the Island and running an antiques shop in Port de Wolfe.  
In 1459 OCA, during an expedition with a group of adventurers, Ragard was mysteriously killed and their ferry partially ruined by fire. Piers decided to uproot his life, and sold his antiques shop, using the funds to purchase a sailing vessel. He is now a founding member of treasure hunting and adventuring guild Bronzebeard & Associates.
==Attributes==
Piers can generously be described as 'eccentric.' He is obsessed with dragonology, knowing everything there is known about them while constantly thirsting for more knowledge. When digging up their bones on the island, he became almost entranced and it becomes difficult for him to talk about anything else. 
Under the tutelage of half-elf Aki, Piers has become a competent swordsman.
