Patrek had never been too smart when it came to books. It became evident early on that his chances of taking over his father's medical business were next to none, and from a tender age, he struggled to deal with persistent disappointment from his father and his mother's promises that he would end up shoveling horseshit off the roads for a living.
At 14, he could no longer bear his family, and left the modest home to find his own place in the world. A year later, he had picked up a sword and dedicated himself to the army, where he discovered his penchant for swordfighting.
Patrek sustained some grievous wounds when he and his garrison were ambushed while traveling the Kingsroad back to Palisade, and spent many months at Oldcastle recovering. His left shoulder was cut badly, leaving him with a stilted range of motion and nagging pain in humid weather, and his left leg is slowly growing stronger from a foot-long gash.
During his stay at Oldcastle, he was joined by a young singer who called himself Aufidius Marks, and also found a totem in the Wardwood.
Patrek is a soldier, with loyalty and a sense of honor that are rarely up for negotiation. His duty is his first priority, his occupation his next. He is a talented swordsman with a penchant for a good fight and a perverse dislike of killing to go with it. Though useful in the chaos of battle and in the training yard, he has difficulty finishing his opponents off when facing off in one-on-one combat, an unwelcome soft spot that Patrek usually fails to acknowledge.
Bull-headed and set in his ways, Patrek does not enjoy compromise and is difficult to sway once he has set his course. His beliefs and behaviors are rooted in old townsfolk superstitions and the idea that nothing pays better than an honest day's work. He is incompromisable to a fault, and relies largely on his physical prowess but less on his wits.
He comes across as somewhat crass and unapproachable, rarely hesitating to pepper the vicinity with curses and unsavory inquiries about other people's mothers. A deeper understanding of his character, however, would reveal that he is less bite than bark, and his comments, no matter how crude, rarely bare any real weight. He is, however, quite terrible when it comes to forming good first impressions, especially around women, and often it seems the harder he tries, the more trouble he encounters.
There are two things that Patrek is good at in life: soldering and gambling. The first, he does to award himself a feeling of self-worth and the other is little more than an unchecked addiction. Still, his unyielding and naturally miserly nature allow him to keep his coin for the most part, though rarely a day goes by without him placing some sort of wager.

[ personality ]
Careo is not an affectionate buck. Though not a timid creature, he is cautious and often more than a little suspicious, reserving his trust for those who earn it. Critical and difficult to impress, he allows precious few into his inner circle, granting those few the occasional cool and reserved interaction and flat out ignoring the masses that have not yet won his good graces.
Regal and analytic, Careo prefers to observe from a distant and decipher the situation for his own understanding, rarely rushing to react or take part in anything that does not directly involve him. His understanding of the world is layered and he does his best to comprehend the full complexities of the human race.
Much of his day is spent in stone-stillness. He is possessed of a shrewd patience that allows him to simply stand and watch, barely moving a muscle and taking in every detail of his environment. Little escapes his notice, and his strong memory allows him to recall many of those details at the drop of a hat.
Careo is a morally upright creature with a strong sense of justice and a good understanding of right and wrong. He does not condone immoral actions and will do his best to intervene should he witness any such behavior.
[ dreaming ]
Careo is the eyes and ears of the small "herd" headed by Dardanos. A naturally observant creature, Careo has charged himself with studying the surroundings and being aware of any small change, acting as a scout of sorts for the group.
