El'nor Rikjaard

El'nor Rikjaard is a half-elf, and current member of The Skull Puppeteers.

Early Life
El'nor was born in the Ethralon Forest, near the town of Undassaya. Born to a human father and an elven mother, El'nor grew up in a time of cooperation and friendship between the human and elven communities. He spent his childhood mixed between these two places, and became a known face around the community. He was trained in combat and sword fighting in Undassaya, and archery in Ethralon, where he also gained a love of climbing. At nineteen though, this peace between Ethralon and Undassaya was shattered by the poisoning and subsequent death of the Elder of Undassaya. Relations between the two quickly soured as the elves of the forest were blamed, and before long the population of Undassaya begun a siege of Ethralon. El'nor was one of a small minority of young half-elves who refused to take up arms against their friends and neighbours in Undassaya, but unlike the others he also refused to join the human army from Undassaya. El'nor took it upon himself to attempt to broker a peace between the two sides, yet when this failed when members of the besieging army set fire to the forest. His homeland shattered, El'nor was sent into exile by the High Elves of Ethralon, never to return. Upon the brink of battle between the two communities he has spent his entire life, El'nor left for a new beginning far away from his home.

Skull Puppeteers
El'nor met with the Skull Puppeteers in a tavern in Fallcrest and set out with them on their journey to Albridge, and along the way became entangled with The Iron Circle. It was during this time he acquired The Capturer after defeating a soul collector in the Albridge Woods. He also lay the killing blow upon a dragon to attain its blood for the Woodsinger elves, upon which he was granted the title "Dragonslayer". He has seemingly never fully recovered from the large amount of pipeweed smoked that night in celebration.

Fighting Style and Weapons
El'nor carries two short swords with him to battle, as well as carrying an old sickle as a back up. Along with these, El'nor carries a longbow to shoot from range with.

El'nor fights with a mix between close and long range abilitys, as a "jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none" type of fighter. Up close, he fights as an "off-tank", dodging in and out of the main battle, looking to hit as many enemies as possible. If his opponents are too tough, El'nor will then tend to hang back and use his bow to be able to strike from distance.
