Zarin Utrilia

== Appearance and Character ==
Zarin was born as the third son and child of Lord Maron Utrilia and his wife, Waelia Utrilia. As a youth he did not receive too much attention from his parents, and was instead raised by the maester, septons, knights and others who were tasked with raising a noble's son. With his older brothers busy with being taught directly by their father, as they had reached the age when they could take up more manly tasks, Zarin was left to his own devices, playing with the children from the nearby village.
Hbrothe was never useless with a weapon, but he certainly wasn't the best. While his brothers often bested him in the spars, Zarin eventually preferred to follow them from a distance. This eventually reached to many other activities which he did not want to take part in. Watching and judging others instead of being within the action, at some point he noticed he was quite the altruist, being able to judge a character and understand their feelings better than most.
When he came to realize in his teenage years, that owning land would never be his future, he picked up more of an interest towards knowledge and lore. The maester Baldric taught him what he knew about medicine and healing, and the libraries at the Utrilian castle contained information on many a subject. However, he required more if he ever wished to be of any use to the world.
At the age of one-and-five he oddly did a pilgrimage to the capital city of learning in Saerial to study the libraries of the Academy in Uliria despite it being controlled by the Lakoran family. Zarin was tempted to become a maester himself, but was hesitant to commit his entire life to the Academy. He was even sceptical of the Order of Maesters for withholding practically all the information in their own library. For the next few years he lived there, deciding to especially continue his study of medicine by researching herbs, poisons and remedies. From the many notes, letters and essays he wrote during his stay he also mastered the feather and learned to wield it like a knight held a sword.
He left Uliria to travel the world at the age of eighteen. During his travels he took notes on pretty much anything he came across, and during his stays in taverns and castles he wrote entire books based on them. Some of his works from this time have been copied in the Academy and shared with the Lords and learned men of Saerial. Zarin eventually put his skills to use in the War by travelling to the battlegrounds no matter what side they belonged to and tending to the sick and wounded. His scepticism towards the maesters almost turned to hatred at this time, when he discovered how small or even nonexistent the Order’s presence was at the frontier.
Zarin continued his travels around Saerial, this time to the North. He studied the land and its people for a few months before he found some war camps up there too, and he decided to do what he could to ease the troops’ suffering once more. He claims to have saved several nobles and even royalty from death as well, but Zarin rarely spoke to the mostly unconscious patients. Zarin most recently has decided to purchase a room in a wealthy inn in Vakar with the money he had earned from his literary work, and continue his research in the city although many suspect his actual goals are to disrupt and out the Order of Maesters.
