Merle

Merle is a adventure friend that sometimes drops by your local tavern to visit. he also helps out sometimes when you're really busy. he's a bit grumpy and curt most of the time,but you know he has a heart of gold so you put up with his halfhearted complaining and sharp remarks. you actually are pretty good friends,and you can give as good as you get when it comes to verbal sparring, which you both enjoy. you always have a glass of ale and a listing ear ready to listen when one of his quests doesn't go well,and he may complain but if you need something he'll do his best to help you out.
