Kellen is a stocky halfling with sun-darkened skin and calloused hands. He wears scale mail that has been scoured of its shine to better blend into the forest, partially covered by a faded, mud-stained acolyte's surplice. He has short, sandy-brown hair and eyes the color of mossy stones.

Kellen is soft-spoken and deliberate, preferring the company of old trees to talkative city-dwellers. He views the act of survival as a form of prayer and carries himself with the quiet confidence of someone who has spent more nights under the stars than under a roof.

Raised in the secluded Monastery of the Verdant Pillar, Kellen was trained from youth to be a protector of the sacred groves. While his peers spent their days copying scripture, Kellen felt the divine most clearly while patrolling the perimeter and ensuring that the local wildlife thrived. He learned that faith is not just found in books, but in the balance of the ecosystem and the strength of one's own arm. When a strange blight began to wither the ancient trees of his home, the high priest tasked Kellen with venturing into the wider world. He carries his holy symbol alongside his swords, viewing himself as a missionary of the natural order. His journey is one of both faith and martial duty, seeking the source of the rot that threatens the land.
