Appearance: Argoth stands tall, with scales of a deep, fiery red. His eyes are a bright gold, and his smile is quick and warm. He wears simple clothing, appropriate for his work, but keeps himself clean and neat. A small, silver scale pendant hangs around his neck, a memento of his heritage.
Inn: The Dragon’s Brew. A well-kept establishment known for its fine ale and warm hospitality. It has a large hearth that always has a fire going and the walls are adorned with artifacts from Argoth’s own adventuring days.
Secret: Argoth was once a member of a notorious adventuring group known as the Flameborn Five. They were renowned dragon hunters, but during a disastrous hunt, the group was wiped out, leaving Argoth as the sole survivor. Wracked with guilt, Argoth retired from adventuring, choosing to settle down and open an inn. He’s kept his past a secret, fearing the reaction of his patrons if they knew of his adventuring days and the tragedy that ended them.
