He is not proud of what he did and exiled himself to a small hut in the middle of the woods.
Lachen is a bard. She is one of the few Twilight Goblins who doesn't worship evil deities, she actually worships no deity.
Überbringer der Liebe is a ranger. Even as a child, he felt an incredible wanderlust. Eventually, he left home, fighting for himself, battling deadly monsters of the wilderness.
