Galvin

Galvin was a druid and an agent of the Harpers.

"The Harper disliked wars. No matter who won, they caused a senseless loss of life. And the land, which would be soaked with blood by the end of the battle, was usually the greatest casualty."

Description
Galvin was a tall man of almost six feet, lean and muscular build. His eyes were green, reminiscent of the color of fern. His blonde wheat-colored hair was long and loose. The druid's face was smooth with features that were described as quite striking with high cheekbones, and a strong chin. His skin was clear, fair, and tanned.

His usual outfit was colored in greens of various shades, he wore leggings, tunic, soft leather boots, and a thigh-length cloak edged with embroidered feathers. He wore a silver neck chain with a miniature crescent moon and a silver harp pendant.

Personality
Galvin loved open spaces and was uncomfortable in urban environments. He focused only on the mission and the state of nature around him. The druid thought himself to be more animal than human and generally preferred the company of animals.

Powers
Like other druids, Galvin was able to wildshape into animals. A hawk was one of the shapes he ofter took. The hawk shape was that of an Amn hawk with blue-gray feathers with an unusual mark below the bird's throat, a patch of glistening silver feathers in the shape of a crescent. When in battle he preferred the cave bear form or tiger for agility.

History
Galvin was born in Skuld, The City of Shadows, in Mulhorand in wealth and soon lost his parents, who were two thieves condemned and executed for robbing an ambassador in the city. He was just a scared seven-year-old child who escaped into the savage wilderness, where he learned to survive and live, scavenged, foraged, studied and learned from the forest animals becoming a self-taught druid. Later he joined the Harpers.

In 1362, he and his friend the centaur Wynter were instructed by Brenna Graycloak to infiltrate Thay to uncover some plots. They discovered the evil plans of the Zulkir Maligor and, thanks to the help of the lich Zulkir Szass Tam, defeated him. During that mission, Brenna came to love Galvin but knowing his dislike for her beloved cities, she said goodbye to him after the defeat of Maligor.
