Okay, here's the promised bio.

Name: Oswald Bartholomew Falconbridge, called "O.B." by his friends, and referred to as Old Man Falcon by the villagers.

Age: 82

Traits and habits: Circumspect and tactful, O.B. has something of the reputation of an old wise hermit. He lives in the woods by himself, and survives with the help of his raptors (birds of prey). He seldom if ever comes to the village, but is sometimes sought out for advice. Unlike some pariahs who have a propensity for curmudgeon-ness, he is helpful and friendly with those who seek his aid. He is known to converse with animals, especially his raptors. It is not known if he actually understands animal tongues, or if he merely talks to them to avoid loneliness. He also constantly engages in hikes, and is sometimes found on the peak of the highest local mountains by hikers, watching the sun set or rise. He is also an expert swordsmen, and owns a sword collection.

Appearance: He has long white hair, usually in a braid behind him, and a long white beard that is also braided. Craggy, gaunt face, with thoughtful eyes. Roughly 5'8", with a light build. Despite being 82 years of age, he remains nimble and strong. Shows no signs of slowing down. He carries a sword cane with him at all times, as well as a knife.

Other comments: He has seven birds: one owl, two hawks, one eagle, three falcons and a kestrel.

Backstory: Only a few living individuals remember his tragic story, and I am not one of them.
