Edvar al'Given
Profile: About 6 foot 2, 200 lbs, dark brown hair, about jaw length and slightly disheveled. Bright blue eyes. In good physical condition. Biography: Edvar al'Given was born in the Two Rivers on a farm half way between
Watch Hill and Taren Ferry. His father died when he was very young of
a wasting sickness. When he was sixteen he was traveling to Baerlon
with his mother to visit her parents. He had never met his grandparents
though, as they were wealthy lords and disapproved of his mother’s
marriage to a commoner. On the way bandits attacked them and killed
his mother. Scared and angry he dug down deep and found something there
he had never expected. The One Power. He didn't know what it was, but
he knew he could use it to help him survive. He called Fire and set
the bandits aflame, buying himself time to escape. Scared and alone
he ran, fighting a strange sickness and his growing depression at being
alone. He later joined a merchant’s caravan as a guard. For eight
years he wandered the borderlands guarding merchants, fighting Shadowspawn
and learning to control his Powers. He avoided using the Power for he
feared the taint and every time he was seen to wield the Power he had
to run and find a new caravan, and a new identity. He used it occasionally
though to help save his friends or help defend the wagons. He was seen
numerous times though and was forced to flee and start over. Then he
heard of the Grey Tower and left his life as a vagabond caravan guard
in hopes of finding a home, in hopes that he would finally be able to
stop running. Now Edvar submits himself to the Grey Tower, wondering
if he has indeed found the home he has sought.
