Steven Redhammer

"'This was suppose to be a growing experience, and look how that turned out. I almost died on at least three occasions.' - Steven to Emeth"

Appearance
Steven is a very talk and heavily built man, with tan skin and no hair save for a mild stubble. He normally walks with an aloof expression.

Early Life
Steven was raised by two members of a mercenary guild. By the time he came of age and joined the guild, his parents had died and the guild had gone under before he could take any jobs. Looking for steady work, he saught out an adventurers guild, as the line of work would be similar.

Dead War
Steven made it to the guild rather late, and got a pretty bad impression from one of the more head strong recruits named James Swiftarm. After speaking with one of the members of the guild, they left on a mission after two more recruits arrived.

On their mission, Steven misinterpreted one of the recruits and rushed in, being overwhelmed by a group of dragonlings. The others arrived to save him, but he still felt poorly about what happened. They completed the mission and returned back to the guild.

When they returned to the guild, they were given more tests. Unfortunately, Steven seemed to do quite poorly on all of them, enough so that he was not allowed to join the guild. He was very upset by this, and contemplated suicide. Before taking his leave, the guild master Emeth Mechapes came to him and suggested joining the Arcton city guard. Steven felt that this was a poor idea, but tried anyway.

Steven arrived at the city guard and spoke to their guard captain Eustas about joining. The man seemed quite strict, and told Steven to prove himself in a sparring match before joining. Steven was very nervous about this, and faced a man Eustas chose. Surprisingly, Steven was able to defeat the man who was then found out to be Eustas' lieutenant. Eustas allowed Steven to join and replace the man who he defeated.

Post Deadwar
Steven served in the city guard for a time, earning a bonus for helping the people of Arcton get into a more defensible position in preparations for the worst case scenario. After a number of years, guard captain Eustas was found dead in his home with his wife Lorelai, and that his son Atlas had gone missing. It was no secret that Eustas held no love for his son, but nobody knew why. After his death, Steven took up the title of guard captain, and eventually settled down and retired.
