EnVic’s (Druid) character history:

EnVic was raised in a multiracial orphanage run by elves.  Because of this he is comfortable with a variety of races and has a rudimentary knowledge of key phrases in many languages (i.e. thank you, food, help, etc.).  He stayed with the orphanage until he was about 16, then he was taken in by the druids and spent some number of years in the wilderness where he befriended Hishin, a wolf.  He lives by the principal of perfect simplicity (i.e. you put up with things for as long as you can, then you change something) this can make him unpredictable to those that do not know him and what he is capable of.  He also tends to take the long view of things.
