Personality
Drystan wears a gruff exterior, but is genuine, honorable, and kindhearted. He sacrificed much for his homeland and family and would do so again in a heartbeat, despite always having known loss and grief.

Drystan Santos is a human from South Faerun, whose family were nomadic shepherds around the Border Kingdoms. After his mother perished in an attack of beasts from the Shaar, Drystan decided to enlist as soldier to protect his homeland and people.
