the decision is impossible and i hate myself lmao but assassin drinking buddy would be perfect? what i have for him so far is that he's from the cold north and possesses the bestial soul of his clan — so he can turn into a big scary animal when he loses his temper. he's usually working as some kind of bodyguard, fighter for hire, warrior etc, is casually employed as a sellsword sometimes for the noble families and royalty, has traveled extensively but has a secret art-focused passion that very few take seriously because isn't he just a big scruffy monster man?
