Biography

Early Life

Rojer is originally from Riverbridge , his parents were Kally and Jessum , who owned an inn. One night a messenger named Geral and the Duke's Herald Arrick Sweetsong took refuge. Whilst dancing in response to Arrick's fiddle playing, corelings invaded the inn, the wards of the inn had been neglected by the local warder as well as those of the rest of the village as a result the stopped working. Jessum and Geral attempted to hold them off but it was futile. During the commotion, Arrick ran for the bolthole with his "bag of marvels" ( a bag containing a Jongleur's belongings) and Kally begged him to take Rojer, shoving him into his arms While she was running with him a flame demon had bitten his arm cutting two fingers off and some of his parm.

While Riverbridge burned, Arrick decided the only chance to survive would be to get to his(Jessum's) circle while Rojer clung to him Arrick attemped to shake him off to no effect. At the circle, Arrick found Rojer wounded. They stopped and looked around to see the demons dancing and feeding on all of the villagers. Arrick realized that Rojer's hometown was not just gone but destroyed. He sang a lullaby to put him to sleep and distract him from what was happening. 

During an unknown period of time Rojer turned the hair of his mother into a talisman (a doll with her hair), while Arrick took him in as his apprentice.

The Brothel Incident

Arrick left Rojer usually with the responsibility of not getting them kicked out of the inn they were staying in.

Abilites

Rojer has an uncanny ability to manipulate the demons emotions and actions with his fiddle. On occasion, this ability has been used to force the demons to injure or kill themselves.

Though he has tried to teach this ability to others, it seems to be more natural talent than learned skill. His apprentice Kendall is the most adept at it, and Rojer is very proud of her and her progress.

Amanvah and Sikvah both lend their voices to Rojer and Kendall's fiddles, meaning the ability is not restricted to fiddles, and could possibly be taught on other instruments.

Personality

Basic Personality - He is a kind of cowardly person at times, while not known for his bravery he is willing to stand in front of a demon for his friends or loved ones when the time calls for it. He generally uses humor to mask his pain and any thoughts he does not want to share. He holds oaths in high regards and believes that it measures the man who holds it. He has deep pain and hatred for himself, blaming himself for all the pain caused to those around him. 

Painted Man personality elements

Rojer is in his childhood with his master a quiet and shy child scared of the dark and keeps to himself most of the time. He was also secretly a lonely boy, as he knew that the injury to his hand made him an outsider, he was also very responsible keeping his master from getting kick out of the room they were staying in and reminding him or waking him when they needed to go out to preform, as arrick was usually drunk or hungover.

As he grew up on the road with only himself to look after he took on many of Arrick's mannerisms and lost much of his responsibility, taking women whenever they offered themselves married or not. 

Desert Spear personality elements

Despite what Rojer's master did to him, he still loved Arrick like a father. He wished that he hated Arrick but couldn't bring himself to do it.
