His way of fighting and lack of speed leaves him open for being attacked from range making him very weak when it comes to someone far away from him.

## Early Life

As a child Bow was the son of a fairly famous blacksmith Victor Veilsmith. He was taught from a young age how to control the flames of the forge and create weapons and armor for those people to protect themselves. He was brought up in a fairly wealthy community going to a school that most people in the kingdom would dream to go to. He was trained to use ice magic while in school though he never thought of using it at all. While he wasn’t top of his class he did get through the school without any problems.

## Recent life events

He took over the blacksmith shop after his father became severely ill. They were well known so some royal guards came to give the Veilsmith family a deal. They make weapons and armor for the conquest of the king, and they get almost NOTHING. Bow and his father knew this was a bad deal to make, so they refused and walked away from the deal. The next day however Bow returned to the shop being burnt down and his parents being hung in the courtyard for not abiding by the king's order. He ran as far as he could hoping to escape the people chasing him down until he reached a strange barrier.

## Present life

Now Bow lives a life of regret. Finding himself in a situation where he must build up his shop once more and start anew. Little food and money to his name, he struggles to make his way around knowing he doesn’t have much to live on. All he finds himself in now is a situation where all he can do is sit there and wonder what is next to come.
