Hank

Hank the Ranger, was the leader of an adventuring group and companion of Elminster's apprentice, Presto.

Description
Hank, being the oldest member, led the others of his group, who were originally from Earth.

In his adulthood, the ranger looked somewhat different. His hair was more ginger than blonde, and he wore a studded light-blue mantle, instead of typical studded-leather armor. He appeared to enjoy drinking ale.

Possessions
Hank fought with a large energy bow and a masterwork longsword, and wore studded leather armor +3, an amulet of natural armor +1, lesser bracers of archery, and a ring of protection +1.

History
At 15 years of age, Hank (and his adventuring party) became trapped in the Realm for a long duration. In the mid–14 century DR, his party appeared to have escaped the mysterious place, and they journeyed to Shadowdale in Faerûn. A member of Hank's adventuring group became an apprentice of Elminster Aumar in the 1360s DR.

By 1369 DR, a portrait of Hank the Ranger was displayed in Athkatla's Adventurer Mart. The accompanying text explained that he was killed and potentially eaten by Tiamat, once a nemesis to the group. However, the artwork depicted him as a youngster although he was an adult by the time he met Elminster at Shadowdale, which may indicate he was believed dead by mistake.
