Ragard

Ragard Ripfang was a wolf-kin warrior and a business associate of scientist Piers Porter. He owned the ferry that the pair ran between Port de Wolfe and Mausoleum Island. 
==Biography==
Born in the Hapa Plains, Ragard was an ex-patriot of the Ripfang wolf-kin tribe. Around the age of 16 he grew tired of constant war with the enemy Rendclaw tribe and left for the city of Port de Wolfe. The penalty, should he have returned to his home tribe, would be execution.
For some time Ragard made his way by selling his talents as a swordsman while living at the local inn, The Sea Serpent. It was here in 1455 that he won a dilapidated ferry as a prize in a hand of threecard. The next year, he met biologist Piers Porter in the same tavern and over a night of drinking became friends with the bizarre man. Piers came up with the idea of fixing up the ferry to use as transport between the city and Mausoleum Island.
Within a month, the business was going strong and Ragard was able to leave the inn. He shared one of the apartments above Piers's antique store and operated the ferry two or three times per month. In addition, he served as Piers's bodyguard while on one of their trips.
==Death==
While on a routine trip to the island with a group of adventurers, Ragard perished under mysterious circumstances. He was discovered on the shore of the island, his throat cut. Piers took his body back to Port de Wolfe for proper burial in his homeland. 
==Attributes==
Ragard was a fierce warrior. He fought using a sword and a battleaxe, and was also proficient with a shortbow. His name means "shield" in the Lupen language.
