**Ifen** (*I-FEN),* a human bard formerly a cast member of a renown traveling circus. Now he finds himself traveling with his blood brother **Slayer** under the orders of the kingdom and guild they're sworn to cleanse the land of abominations and monsters.

## Appearance

Ifen is about 25 years of age with short black hair and brown eyes with a scar running across his left eye. He wears a black doublet with a white shirt underneath, a scale shirt, black leather pants, a pair of black gloves, black leather boots, and a black hooded cloak.

## Personality

Ifen is wary of new comers and can be very cold towards others he initially meets. Once he gets to know an individual, he tends to open up to them little by little. He only trusts Slayer full, due to the fact they are childhood friends and long time hunting companions, and only goes by his alias ***Noose***. Despite his cold demeanor, Ifen is out going and friendly, willing to help those in need. He will go out of his way to put a smile on children's faces, since this is what he did best while traveling with his former circus troupe. He does have a soft spot for beautiful women and will go out of his way to flirt with them.

## History

Ifen was an orphan, abandoned by his family and was taken in by a local church. He was always curious about the outside world and what awaited his own destiny. He was good friends with a local tiefling boy name ***Azra***, who was not treated well by the local populace. Once Azra left, Ifen found himself bored and decided to leave to find his own way. He manage to get in with a traveling circus called "**Carnivalis**" and learn the ropes to become a true circus performer. During his time with the troupe, he found what he believed was his soul mate, **Sara**, a lightly tan skinned human girl. Over several years they would come to love one another and learn the ropes to become the new main acts of the troupe.

One fateful day, when it was time for both Ifen and Sara to perform a new act, the circus was attacked by unknown cultists. All of the main troupe members were murdered,except for Ifen, leaving him alone again, heartbroken and full of rage from losing his belove. Ifen took his belongings again, including one of Sara's prized scimitar, and left to find out who these cultist are. On his journey for answers, he would find his best friend, now going by the name Slayer, and would travel to the world to hunt monsters and make sure another tragedy doesn't befall others.
