Braden is a proud mercenary warrior, who’ll gladly tell you about when he went to that place you need to go to, and wooed the Elven princess to boot. He’s roguish, charming, and utterly disreputable. Although he’ll sell his services, he talks about his superior experience and will overrule members of the party to “go scouting” or “establish a perimeter” when unpleasant tasks like digging trenches, or cooking dinner, or tidying, need to be done. Occasionally, this will also happen when the group comes under attack. Although he won’t be able to be located during combat, he usually turns up afterwards and “armchair quarterbacks” the fight, telling people what they should have done to turn back attackers. If he actually makes it into combat, he’s skilled, but never quite as skilled as he boasts. Physical: Braden boasts a white streak in his hair which he claims is from fighting off a Wraith, but is carefully bleached every few months, and an impressive handlebar mustache. He dresses in well-worn leathers, and carries a hefty falchion. Statistics: Braden is a Chaotic Neutral Fighter 3/Rogue 3. His skills range is mostly in bluffing and cards, but he does actually have survival and stealth skills to back himself up. Hooks: * Braden might be selling his services to help a low-level group through dangerous terrain. * Braden makes an excellent mercenary Guard for an NPC who the PCs need to Guard (or, alternately, abduct/assassinate). His reputation says he’s quite dangerous, but his willingness to take a bribe and look the other way may make a vulnerability in the NPC’s security.
