Physical Description: Male Ellyllon. Flowing black hair with big curls. Short-trimmed beard and mustache.

Background: Ben, the adopted son of the pious Earl of Rubyglade, spent much time discreetly researching rumors of the Grand Princess' infidelity with Lord Rikvid, the royal wizard at the time. By piecing together bits of information from disparate sources both mundane and magical, Ben knows that he is their illegitimate child.

Coincidentally, the Commander of the Royal Guard recently discovered Ben's existence. The commander, concerned of the Grand Princess and her honor, has ordered a secret group of Ellyllon mercenaries to kidnap Ben. The mercenaries are completely unaware of Ben's identity. Their goal is to imprison Ben, but they will kill him, if necessary, to help the Grand Princess.

An unsuccessful abduction in Rubyglade has spurred Ben to say "fare thee well" to his family. Using the excuse of magical research, Ben packed up his belongings and joined the next passing caravan headed away from the homeland of the Ellyllon.
