Description and Background
Description:
Crenshaw is tall and lean, with quick graceful movements and a delicate manner that belies his size. He's muscular without looking powerful and his chain armor shows an athletic build. He's friendly without being ingratiating and generally helpful when the opportunity arises.
Background:
Crenshaw is somewhat of an outcast. He hired on with local drinking establishment as a young man while he was perfectly comfortable mixing it up, he often found himself on the floor. He rapidly got a reputation for having a glass jaw or even taking a dive. It was always surprising how a man of his stature could be bested by smaller and even less skillful men. This caused him to do a couple of things. First, he took up the bow, to capitalize on his reach and agility. He was able to make himself useful in local patrols and guard jobs in a ranged support role. He just wasn't suited to be a front line kind of guy. Second, he was very cautious with who he made friends with. Over time, he came to know Herbert The Sincere and very much appreciated his sincere manner. After a fashion, the formed a bond. And with Herberts heavy armor and straight forward manner, Crenshaw found someone he could happily support. They soon started traveling together, Herbert seeking souls to save and building his coffers in order to eventually expand his local chapter and Crenshaw just happy to be with someone who didn't constantly egg him about being a fighter who drops at the first stiff contact. And their styles were so complimentary, they had some great adventures traveling the countryside, meeting new people and several times successfully fending off bandits and even a wounded party of gnolls. After hearing of possible treasure in the old Mad Mages castle, they soon decided they'd test their skills in its depths.
Herbert may be the spiritual and tactical leader, but Crenshaw is very protective of his friend and comrade, willing to lay down his life to protect that of Herbert. |
