	Physically, Germain is a handsome young man with a slight build but a powerful presence. Much of the time, he ~~wears~~ well-fitted, high-quality armor and weapons, which ~~serves~~ to some degree to counterbalance his unimposing figure. In general, he is a fashion-forward dresser, and ~~sports~~ fitted and modestly adorned clothes and jewelery appropriate for minor nobles or successful merchants. He ~~wears~~ his wavy, light-brown hair cropped to his ears and slicked back with copious amounts of oil, and he ~~sports~~ a thin, well-groomed moustache. He ~~has~~ clear, blue eyes that ~~are~~ always alert, betraying his sharp intellect. In public, he is quick to smile and laugh, and he ~~has~~ the friendly and complimentary personality of a politician or socialite.

	Germain's most significant strength is his masterful understanding of society, politics, and culture. His political skills, in particular, ~~are~~ ''par excellence'': he ~~demonstrates~~ a commanding demeanor, and ~~has shown~~ himself to capable of controlling social situations through charm, subterfuge, and intimidation alike. Supporting this ~~are~~ his sharp senses; few facts, no matter how small, ~~slip~~ past his discerning eyes and ears, and fewer still ~~can~~ hide from his insights into the human mind.

Germain's most significant strength was his masterful understanding of society, politics, and culture. His political skills, in particular, were ''par excellence'': he demonstrated a commanding demeanor, and showed himself capable of controlling social situations through charm, subterfuge, and intimidation alike.

Germain was no specialist, however, and his passable skills as a naturalist, tracker, animal handler, historian, religious scholar, and cartographer contributed to many of the party's endeavours.

	While not particularly adept in combat, Germain is helpful and well-trained, and often ~~finds~~ ways to assist more capable allies. Despite his lack of martial talent, he ~~has~~ demonstrated training with a wide range of weapons and armors, a mastery of defensive fighting techniques, and a cunning tactical mind befitting a soldier. Although he clearly ~~lacks~~ the physical prowess and combat experience of a veteran warrior, he is a brave man who is not afraid of creating diversions and aiding his allies on the front-lines, even at the cost of exposing himself to considerable risk. As a result, he aids his companions through tactical positioning (flank!) and combat maneuvers (aid another!) in melee, and in the back protecting the casters from archers with his [[Barbarian King's Buckler\|shield]].

	Despite his persuasive and charming public face, Germain's friends ~~are~~ exposed to a number of personal idiosyncrasies and hypocrisies. Perhaps most glaring is the discrepancy between his public and private morals--while he ~~represents~~ himself publicly as an honest lawman, civil protector, and hero to the people, he ~~has~~ no personal qualms against propaganda, collateral damage to innocents, torture, and assassination (although he ~~does~~ not seem to revel in it). Also, he ~~displays~~ a tiresome obsession with public appearance and the nuanced meanings of conversations, often forcing others to follow along as he ~~reads the~~ tea leaves for even minor interactions. Perhaps not surprisingly, ~~the~~ obsession sometimes ~~cripples~~ his decision making abilities, as he is occasionally so preoccupied with suspicions that ~~he can have difficulty acting~~ decisively. Regardless, he ~~has shown~~ himself to be brave and loyal ~~when action is necessary~~, although how one ~~goes about earning~~ such loyalty is widely variable. Despite his personal lax morals, he ~~has~~ consistently ~~chosen~~ to advance noble ~~endeavorer~~ over blatantly self-serving ones.

	He was born into an ambitious family that has carved out a reasonable chunk of power in Fresia. His father is an appointed military governor in a lightly-contested [[Fresia\|Fresian]] border town. His accomplishments maintaining peace locally and managing border skirmishes has made him popular both with the people and the Fresian government, and he achieved reasonable political clout in the area. His mother is a deposed [[Flannary\|Flannari]] noble, and consequently an effective and ambitious social climber.

He possessed natural mental aptitudes and a fierce attention span that allowed him to perform his studies passably with little effort. The rest of his time he spent engaged in behavior that was irresponsible at best, and often illegal or immoral. Because Germain's parents were not proper landed, wealthy nobles, he had little in petty cash, and had to fund his activities through rich friends, benefactors, or "entrepreneurial" activities.

	Germain has traditionally been quite evasive about his life before Wydmoor, and is in fact operating under an assumed name. For those outside his circle of trust, he claims to hail from the Flannary side of the Fresian border and that he is trying to distance himself from his family due to some politically difficult situation. While this answer is generally correct, the reality is far less sinister: his parents are successful and self-made political actors, and Germain didn't want to besmirch their name if he became infamous in Wydmoor for his shady activities and lax morals. In recent months, however, Germain has become a good bit more open with his friends the [[Silverwalkers]], and they know more about the reality of his life.

	Germain's most significant strength is his masterful understanding of society, politics, and culture. His political skills, in particular, are ''par excellence'': he demonstrates a commanding demeanor, and has shown himself to capable of controlling social situations through charm, subterfuge, and intimidation alike. Supporting this are his sharp senses; few facts, no matter how small, slip past his discerning eyes and ears, and fewer still can hide from his insights into the human mind. Germain is no specialist, however, and his passable skills as a naturalist, tracker, animal handler, historian, religious scholar, and cartographer contribute to many of the party's endeavours.
