Theodard Longhole

Theodard in the party's words:
"He's a cock, but he's our cock.""He's a messy bitch."

Biography
Theodard Longhole is the handsomest halfling you'll ever meet. His -3 Wisdom modifier doesn't hold him back even when it should, which I guess is what happens when you have a -3 Wisdom modifier. A native of An and member of Roger's Guard, Theodard was brought to Red Deer when word got out that our heroes needed a guide to the Ethereal Plane. Being something of an expert — or, well, the closest thing to an expert they could get on short notice — Theodard came running only to discover his clients had mysteriously disappeared. Lucky for them, he stuck around to watch the ensuing intrigue unfold, and when our heroes were finally free to leave Red Deer, there he was to lead them.

Theodard seems fond of boasting about his past, but rarely discloses any sensitive information. Following the battle with the bandits led by Gulo's old acquaintance Borel, Theodard rarely spoke to our heroes for several days after, seemingly disgusted by their decision to kill numerous teenage children. Rorrik was the only one of our heroes to talk with him about this, and as such he got a hint of what had disturbed Theodard so much — he pointed out that a child of that age has little choice in how they were raised or by whom, and that it could just have easily been Gulo in the bandit band that made the mistake of trying to kill the wrong people for profit. Whether or not Theodard spoke from personal experience is unclear.

Another clue to Theodard's past is the revelation that he has, at some point, been in a serious relationship, though he declined to share details, turning the spotlight instead on Vyre's discomfort regarding her own romantic past when she kept pressing the matter.

For all his various eccentricities, Theodard is talented with his sword (wink), and has readily shared his wine, whiskey, and rations with the others.
