Haloe Esher

Part of Characters of Otheia
Haloe has always preferred the wilderness to the comfort of the civilized world.
Born to an Uthono mother and an Otheiae father in Stecer in the Steel Realm, he was trapped between two worlds in his early life. Neither would accept him, and he was alienated from his neighbors from the beginning. When his mother was killed, he made the choice to abandon the civilization that held him in contempt.
While on the streets, he was taken in by a man named Rakek. Rakek saw talent in the young boy, and inducted him into the Highstreet Gang, a band of criminals. There, Rakek mentored him on the ways of the criminal world, and how to survive. Haloe rose through the ranks of the gang, from a simple runner to a smuggler, and eventually he became a full fledged bandit in the gang.
One day, however, on the prospect of a big score, the gang raided a village. However, the silver-laden convoy they had expected was not present. Enraged, Rakek ordered the deaths of all the villagers. While Haloe had done many things he was not proud of, this would prove too much for the young man.
That night, he snuck away from the gang’s camp, and left that life behind. He would join the Landguard of the Steel Realm, and vowed to protect the people of the country. His ultimate goal is to facilitate the downfall of the Highstreet Gang, and see Rakek brought to justice.
