Porto Redfingers

His family are all cloth dyers. So the whole family had stained hands/fingers. Porto's great great great grandfather discovered how to make a brilliant red dye by using a specific type of insect eggs. The family had a monopoly on the technique until Porto's great uncle sold the technique to a rival to pay off his gambling debit.

Porto is the youngest of 4 brothers, all of which are currently working for the declining family business. His mother passed when he was quite young. The elder brothers all have wives and families to support, so Porto was forced into the adventure's life when his father was crippled in an accident 2 years ago. With little profit in the dye business there is no money to heal his father. He needs about 5000 gp to heal his father.

He worked for a while as a forest guide for big game hunters from the bigger towns, but the pay wasn't great and the danger high. He decided to strike out on his own to sell rare and or magical animals for pets/pelts/trophies/spell components/etc. With war brewing business is turning bad. In the fire forest to hunt something or other…

Physical Appearance:
26 years old, 3' 5" tall, 40 lbs – portrait attached
Stocky for a Halfling, with a neatly trimmed mustache/goatee combo. Short black hair, brown eyes, and a ruddy skin tone. Wears a concealing cloak and carries a well made Halfling sized longbow, a Halfling sized ranseur, and a bulging back pack.

Personality:
While not overly polite, Porto does respect his elders. As for table manners, he never had to use any. Prideful, but tries to hide his mistakes. Crude and crass cause that's all he was taught. No womanly influence. Not intentional, and sometimes he feels bad/angry about hurting others feelings.

Likes strong coffee, spicy food (hard to get as a child). Smokes, really addicted to it. Only compromises grudgingly and is quite stubborn. Likes to sleep in and stay up late, not a morning person. Really dislikes potatoes, that's mostly all he ate growing up. Would go without, to avoid eating potatoes (for a meal or two anyway).

Hopes to one day make his father and brothers proud. Immediately hopes to get enough money to heal his father's broken back. Fears he'll fail to amount to anything.
