Marcho Longbottom, a halfling rogue of surprising build, contrasts sharply with his dwarven companion. Standing a mere 3’9″ tall, Marcho is well-built for a halfling, his tanned skin and shock of red hair hinting at a life spent under the sun, a stark contrast to Makhulim’s subterranean pallor. His brown eyes, constantly darting and assessing, reflect a quick mind and a knack for spotting trouble – or opportunity – a mile away.
Marcho is the best asset The Roving Adventurers need when stealth is required in Hyebrenia.
Habits
Marcho is a creature of shadows, preferring to scout ahead, his movements fluid and silent. He’s a master of traps, not just in finding them, but also in… utilizing them. While most rogues would meticulously disarm a dangerous mechanism, Marcho has a peculiar fondness for triggering them safely, observing the results with a detached curiosity. He considers it an art form, a way to test the ingenuity of the trap maker without risking life or limb (at least, not his own).
His Prized Possesion
Aiding him in his shadowy pursuits is a peculiar brooch. It emits a light, but one visible only to Marcho, allowing him to navigate the deepest darkness as if it were midday. This gives him an unparalleled advantage in exploring the hidden corners of the world, making him an invaluable scout.
Actions
While Makhulim charges into battle with his axes blazing, Marcho prefers a more… strategic approach to combat. He’s not a coward, but he’s no fool. He understands the value of a well-placed strike, of waiting for the opportune moment. His weapon of choice is “Courage,” a rapier with a silvery blade. Forged from the remains of a destroyed warforged, “Courage” is more than just a weapon; it’s a symbol of Marcho’s pragmatic approach to heroism.
He’ll only draw “Courage” when the odds are in his favor, when he can strike swiftly and decisively, ensuring a swift and clean victory. He’s a rogue who understands that true courage lies not in reckless bravery, but in calculated action and a keen understanding of one’s own strengths. He lets Makhulim be the tank, while he waits for the perfect moment to apply “Courage” where it counts.
