Appearance
Pierre is a lean, weathered human man with olive skin, dark curly hair threaded with gray, and a narrow face framed by an untidy beard. His green-brown eyes are bright and watchful, and small scars mark his hands from years of gathering roots, tending animals, and surviving the wilderness. He wears layered earth-toned robes beneath a patched leather mantle, carries a gnarled ash staff, and keeps sprigs of rosemary and juniper tucked into his belt.
Mannerisms
Pierre speaks to plants, animals, and weather as though they are old acquaintances. He pauses before answering questions, tilts his head as if listening to distant roots, and absentmindedly rubs crushed herbs between his fingers while thinking.
Personality
Pierre is curious, irreverent, and unusually patient with animals but impatient with most civilized conversation. He enjoys helping people, although he prefers to disguise compassion as practical advice or a sarcastic remark. He is comfortable living simply and finds excessive luxury faintly ridiculous.
Ideals
Freedom. The wild cannot thrive under cages, laws, or ownership, and neither should people. Every living thing deserves room to grow according to its nature.
Bonds
The ancient woodland that sheltered Pierre is his true home, and he will risk almost anything to protect it from those who would exploit or poison it.
Flaws
Pierre is contemptuous of authority and often refuses sensible orders simply because they were given as commands. He can also become dangerously fixated on proving that his strange visions are meaningful, even when evidence suggests he may be mistaken.
Quirks
Background
Pierre was born in a remote human village where the forest was treated as both neighbor and threat. As a young man, he learned to read animal tracks, identify medicinal plants, and listen for changes in the wind from an elderly hedge healer. When a fever swept through the village, Pierre brewed a remedy that saved many lives, but the village elders credited a local nobleman's physician instead. Bitter and disillusioned, Pierre withdrew into the wilderness rather than remain among people who valued titles over truth. During twelve years of solitude, Pierre built a small shelter beside a hill covered in unusually ancient trees. There he encountered visions of roots moving beneath the earth and heard a voice in his dreams warning that the natural world was being wounded by an unseen force. The experience awakened his druidic abilities. He emerged from isolation after discovering that the corruption had begun spreading toward settled lands, carrying his staff, his herb satchel, and an inconvenient willingness to help anyone who respects the wild, regardless of law, custom, or social rank.
