Traggan Drake Mason

| Race | Man |

| Kinship |
| Outward Appearance |
‘Trag’ is a strong and handsome man who’s aged in his middle twenties and reaches a height of slightly over six feet. His dark brown eyes look either caring or deadly, and his smile either compassionate or vengeful, depending on who’s he talking to. He has a stubble across his jaw and keeps his short brown hair styled. He works out on a daily basis, making his physical condition one of a high quality and his whole body attractively muscled – where especially his front hides an irresistible set of abdominal muscles. Combined with his unique attitude this made him a magnet for women, but when he manages to stick with one he turns out to be a loyal and kind man.
Unless he’s solving some important business, he wears a casual shirt, jacket and pants and spends his time in Bree. He hates people who present themselves heroically and those who cause way too much trouble around. Even though his fists are strong, he keeps a dagger tied to his belt at all times in case somebody would prefer to have his own throat cut.
He is a tough guy, but sensitive matters can easily make him sad. |

Background
Traggan (Drake) Mason is the ninth descendant of Drake “Fish-bane” Mason (see family documents for more details), who settled in Bree to find peace from the wildlife that he lived in. The Masons were always one of the best fish suppliers in Bree-land and Traggan kept this tradition until he turned seventeen and seemingly became a criminal. His parents, Max Mason and Elliot Newward, abandoned him and went to live in the wilds, hoping that their son would one time realize his purpose in this world. (Un)fortunately, Traggan was far from a criminal and what he did had a hidden purpose, which so far only he knows and never feels like sharing it, despite others may otherwise always see him as a filthy pickpocket.
Traggan is a very friendly fellow who likes humour, alcohol and a wide smile. At a younger age he enjoyed bedding girls and doing silly stuff with his friends, who are now all either imprisoned or left Bree for good. And with age he grew in experience and ‘reason’. When he witnesses a quarrel now, he doesn’t stop it but instead watches it and thinks about who should he bet on. When he spots somebody committing a light crime, he doesn’t disrupt it but instead follows him and robs him of the robbery. In case of a heavy crime, he doesn’t kill the murderer but instead ties him up and tortures him until he spits everything out. And when his eyes wander across to a pretty girl, the first thing to come to his mind isn’t bedding her right away, but having a ‘friendly’ talk at the bar.
Officially Traggan is a fisherman and most acquaintances know that, but very few know he actually makes most of his money from collecting on bounties. From all the Mason generations Traggan is the most similar to “Fish-bane” - in appearance, attitude and skills (but he is unaware of this fact). And so he spends some of his time outside Bree, hunting unaware brigands and turning their sheaths and hatchets in at the mayor. Apart from fishing and harassing the harassers he also enjoys hunting wild animals, especially boars. He has an increasingly large collection of boar tusks, two of which he carries with him when he hunts, believing they will bring him luck.
