Character Description
A man in black, from leather boot to hooded cloak. A large black bow and quiver across his back. He has designed this outfit to be undetectable in the darkest shadows.

But under the cloak is the holy vestments of Lathander. The golden image of the rising sun over a field of green shines dazzling in the light.

He is quick to get close to people, to find out their troubles and try to aid them. To show them that sometimes we have to take different paths than we planned and dreamed; but that these new paths, though difficult, will lead to greater happiness.
Character History
Born in a poor settlement, he was the only surviving child of his parents. A father who stopped caring about his children after the first three died, Oswald was the fifth born, and a mother that inspired for her offspring to have more, a better life.

Oswald was the name of the town's mayor; the fact of which let to the last fight between his parents, with his father not believing that the child is his. Eventually he simply left and never returned.

His mother though, she named him that for a completely different reason; as she has often told Oswald. She chose that name because Oswald is a name of someone who has become a Mayor, someone important. And an important name will help him achieve more during his life.

But the wounds from his father tainted that name; a name that drove his dad away. As he got older he hated that name more and more; and hated when his mom would remind him that he was going to be important.

In his teens he had had enough. He simply left...just like his father. He saw homelessness as only a little less than his current conditions. And sadly he was right.

He became travelling the roads, begging for food and shelter. One evening he was lying in an alley when some shady fellows asked him to watch the alley for them and to say something if someone comes. He agreed and no one came. When they paid him the coin, he asked if he could come with them, if they could train him.

They accepted and trained him. He aided them in numerous jobs, until his skill took him higher. Until he realized how much adventurers make.

He spent years on the adventurers market, working jobs of all kinds. He would attach himself to a group for a job or two and then move onto a new group. He was just a man for higher, using his skills to aid the group's, but he was just their for the treasure and his usual payment requirements.

He would work only the name Deepshadow, refusing to use his real name due to his hatred of it.

Then, while on a mission, he paired up with a group that had a paladin of Lathander. The two became friends, a rarity in Oswald's life, and he learned of the way of the light. He learned about Lathander's drive for self improvement of his followers and through that he learned that there is more to life than gold.

When the quest ended, Oswald sadly turned down the group's offer to have him join as a full member. He had more to learn and more training to do.

Under his friend's guidance he found the temple where the paladin trained and learned under his friend's teachers for several years.

After five years he felt that it was time to make amends and finally returned home. But sadly it was too late as his mother had passed away long before.

With his mother's love and desire for his betterment in mind and in heart, he once again took up his birth name of Oswald and replaced his father's name with the name he has worn for years; Deepshadow.

He returned to the adventuring circuit to find others like himself, others that have become obsessed with coin and have lost track of their true self; whether adventurer of bandit. He helps them, and himself reach self perfection and to learn that even in the darkest places, there is light within us all.

Recently the Harpers have hired him to aid a group. He is eager to see how many lives he can change, that he can save.
