Rale Thistlelea

Rale Thistlelea is a semi-orphaned Halfling who lived in a moderately sized town in the Red Hills. He was raised by the community and quickly learned to steal, decieve, and lie to survive and thrive. He worked for the town's only inn as a stableboy, and learned a fair deal about taking care of animals, and their owners. Throughout the years the streetboy learned to live on his own, and managed to collect a fair deal of coin, until the Calamity hit.

Rale was enjoying his day off in the inn with his long time aquaintance and friend, Mikal Romnakov, listening to the sweet sounds of bardic song, enjoying a fine drink, and eyeing the odd looking travelers in the corner when the fireplace erupted beside him and almost sent him spinning. Mikal attacked the Bard after he sensed his threatening and seductive song towards one of the barmaids. Rale and Mikal managed to subdue the Bard, thinking he was the cause of the fire that had now enveloped the entire building. Once everyone was outside and everyone safe, Rale looked at the charred remains of his only real home. Devastated and demoralized, he gathered the stash of money he had collected and began to aspire to a great life above this little town. He was determined to become great and powerful. He was tired of being pushed around and treated as a child even by his town and neighbors.

Current Goals
Rale is planning big goals for himself and his trusted friends. Forging a criminal empire on a new continent would make Rale one of the most powerful halflings in the world.
