Aden El-Rahm, a 21-year-old sellsword from Median, cuts an imposing yet captivating figure. Standing tall at 175 cm and weighing 72 kg (5'9" and 169 lbs), his lean, toned physique exudes strength and agility. His reddish-tan skin, a testament to countless hours spent under the sun, provides a striking contrast to his jet-black hair and piercing brown eyes. Aden's features are ruggedly handsome that demand attention. His movements are fluid and confident, hinting at the years of training that have honed his skills to lethal perfection. The vambrace adorning his arm serves as a subtle reminder of his martial prowess, while the shamsir at his side is a symbol of his unwavering resolve.

He is a man of few words, preferring to let his actions speak louder than any boastful proclamations.

They scavenge and steal, taking advantage of chaos and abandoned settlements.

Encounters with goblin bandits and their occupation of the abandoned seaport highlight their chaotic nature and the constant threat they pose to the more organized societies within the realm. contrary to harpies, goblins are all male. they procreate by kidnapping women. when cornered they would go into the deep of caves. they have the ability to hibernate one to five years straight, some even able to hibernate until ten years, waiting for the perfect time to strike back at the human who already lowered their guards down.
