Name: Taltor Valan
Race: Human
Patron God: No Patron God
Homeland: Mixteca
Location: Mage's Tower
Physical Characteristics:
Age: 32 years
Hair Color: Prematurely silver, slightly longer than shoulder length and worn in a pony-tail
Eye Color: Blue
Skin Tone: Pale
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 147 lbs
Additonal Physical Attributes:
-He is always seen wearing a pair of gloves.
Personality:
Taltor is shy and reserved around strangers, but when the need arises he can tap into hidden reserves of charisma. He avoids physical contact as much as possible. This aversion to touch makes it harder for people to get to know him closely, and he is considered strange even by those who he counts as friends. He doesn't make friends easily, but once his friendship is given it is strong. He also loves to play with words and enjoys using double entendres when speaking.
History:
Taltor was born into a military family. All of his life he was compared to his stockier and more militant brothers. When it was discovered he had an interest in music and knowledge he was teased unmercifully by both his siblings and his father. However, his mother fostered his scholarly side. Keeping a constant schooling program was difficult, however, as his family had a tendancy to move about the country as the need arose. Finally, when he reached the age of 18 and was able to claim his own independance, he moved out. Even though he tested negatively for magic he applied to the Mage's Tower for a job. Head Mage Nikore had just been voted in and had already begun to implement major changes. The policy changes included employment opportunities for non-mages, even though such people were still at a disadvantage within the magical Tower. Taltor didn't mind; as long as he could have access to his books and occasionally have time to play or listen to music he was happy. The Library, a formidable collection of knowledge, became his project. Ever since he was hired he has been working on a new cataloguing system.
