Melvin the Elvin

Melvin the Elvin
Horace Edgar Bartholomue, now legally known as "Melvin the Elvin", is an eladrin mage that met with The Skull Puppeteers in Fallcrest. Horace is described by his collegues as silent and determined. His perserverance is assumed to be from the harsh experiences he had while growing up, but those close to him know it's because "...the dragon's more of a drakeling, so to speak...".

Background
Horace was born and raised in aristocracy, but was separated from his parents at the age of 9, due to a robbery. The bandit killed Horace's parents and made off with various valuables, leaving Horace an orphan. The nickname "Melvin the Elvin" was donned by the other children in Horace's orphanage, due to the way his hair looked. Horace spent 6 years at the orphanage, getting constantly ridiculed because of his outward appearance.

At 16, Horace fled the orphanage after murdering all the other children, and joined a magic academy at the top of Zethere mountain. There, he trained diligently for 4 years, practising the element of fire. News of his nickname had reached the academy, and various students ventured into his dormitory and enchanted "Melvin the Elvin" onto his forehead and gluteus maximus while he slept. After another 14 months of constant ridicule, he left Zethere mountain after murdering various members of the academy. Horace vowed vengeance against the bandit who killed his parents, and still searches for him today. Horace wears a mask to hide his face, and uses his alias instead of his real name.
