Aldaron is the son of Tristan Melhurst, a minor lord of an province on the outskirts of the kingdom. His mother is Isolde, the half-elven daughter of Arendir, elf prefect and council member who fell in love with a beautiful human many decades ago.
Tristan and Isolde eloped far from her father's eyes for he did not want Isolde to suffer the fate of out-living her love that he experienced. After a long search Arendir found his daughter who was with child. She had married the noble Tristan who was a human of unparrelled beauty and grace. Arendir is a kind and gentle spirit and forgave his daughter and was given the honor of naming their child, Aldaron (Lord of the Trees in Elvish).
Aldaron's early years were spent in the rolling hills of his father's keep, these were pleasant times and the boy was often visted by his grandfather who taught him the language of his ancestors and thier history.
When Aldaron reached the age of 9, his father's keep was attacked by Orc warlord and his horde. Tristan and Isolde were able to save thier child by placing him in a raft in the underground stream beneath the keep. Aldaron was the only survivor of this attack.
Floating down the stream, which eventually reached the surface, Aldaron was discovered by a traveling halfling circus. Between sobs, Aldaron described the horrible events. The halflings being kind of heart offered the boy a place in thier caravan. Aldaron's gradfather was off fighting evils in another part of the world, and low Aldaron was alone in the world.
Several years passed and Aldaron had been named Twigg by the halflings due to a misinterpretation of his elvish name. Twigg as he was called soon became a accomplished juggler and acrobat in the circus, and he ran the shell and dice games after the show.
After nearly 20 years with the halflings, Twigg was reuinted with his grandfather in the most random of circumstances. The circus had stopped to perform in a elven village at the request of the town elders. One of these elders was Arendir, who was shocked to see his grandson who he hag thought dead.
Wanting to reconnect with his past Aldaron left the circus to live with his grandfather. Arendir loved the boy who was now 30 years old, and taught him much more on the ways of elves and of the fine art of fencing which Aldaron excelled. However after 15 years with his grandfather Aldaron felt the tug of wanderlust, likely caused by his human genetics and halfling upbringing. Bidding his grandfather farwell, Aldaron set off on his own with a few possesions and his moxy.
The last 10 years have not been kind to Aldaron, his many a business ventures have failed and he has been chased out of town by serveral fathers of former virgins. Yet Aldaron refuses to give up and he travels from town to town with a new get rich quick sceme.
Aldaron's equipment includes a rapier and main guache set which were given to him by his grandfather, a belt pouch and a set of thieves tools. He wear a doublet of green velvet that was once fine and elegant but has been worn by poverty and walking.
Aldaron lives by a personnal code that he follows relgiously. The code is as follows:
1. If somone has more of something than they need, they will not miss it.
2. Women deserve the best, sometimes providing it requires one to "bend" the rules.
3. Never cheat or scam children and always find a way to help a child in need.
These three simple rules are what Aldaron lives life by. If asked, Aldaron will tell others his name is Twigg, unless and Elf addresses him in elvish, then he will give his true name.
