Aldern is a human bordering on the edge of old age.

He has a full, neatly-kept white beard and rough, tanned skin.

He cultivates the look of a traveling wizard.

Aldern spent many years as a petty mage, more involved in scribing books than in magical mastery.

For reasons that he doesn't discuss, he became a traveling mage rather late in life, due to a shift in circumstances.

Aldern's skills lent themselves to aiding and defending groups, so he spent much of his time working in that capacity.

After a few years working with the crusaders against the Worldwound, he decided to "retire" to a less-dangerous location.

Aldern is reserved, most often deep in thought or busy reading, and does not talk often.

He is a powerful, logical thinker, and he rarely couches his commentary in absolutes.

He enjoys dry humor but is not very good at telling jokes himself.

He has a fondness for children but becomes easily exasperated at the amount of damage that they can inadvertently cause.

He tends to avoid domestic animals, as he finds them dirty and in need of too much attention.
