TIMOTHY (prefers to be called Tim or “The Sneaker”)
Race: Marcale
Eye color: Dark-green
Hair color: Strawberry blonde, often festooned with leaves and twigs
Distinctions: Short, with freckled green skin, like most of his kind, and a scar on the left side of his face
A young and spontaneous marcale, expert at camouflage and tracking (“sneakin’ ‘round” as he calls it), Tim is the only one in his secretive tribe who dreams of venturing beyond the borders of the protective Marcale Forest. Insatiably curious and enthusiastic, he is graced with a seemingly boundless energy and passion for life. He uses his friendship with the ghirna Solo and his ability to commune with nature to inform himself of the goings-on in other parts of the kingdom. He carries around a heavy stick twice his height, which he treasures more than any other possession. Cheerful and bold to the point of obnoxiousness, he will unfailingly fling himself at creatures several times his size if opportunity grants. His diminutive stature and mottled hues of his skin allow him to blend well with the loam of the forest floor and elude even the most watchful of enemies or determined pursuer.
During the Outcast war he befriends both Falen and Dasra, survivors of the massacre at Widdenwael, sheltering them for a time with his own people. He later follows Falen out into the wilderness, determined to make a name for himself as Avenan’s best spy and tracker. Through a series of fortunate “accidents,” he gains just such a position in Falen’s army, and proves his skills as an invaluable informant during the rebellion instigated by Morgan and the mysterious Illusionist people.
