Johnny Vreeden

Johnny Vreeden is an ex-bandit who was recruited to join the party after they captured him. In exchange for amnesty from the bandit leader Giovanna, the party took him under their wing and he has become a good friend and ally.

Appearance
Johnny is a handsome young man in his late teens. He has lightly tanned skinned from his work in the fields and, more recently, as a bandit. He is well-muscled for his age and walks with a quick gait. His nose, once perfectly straight and upturned is now slightly crooked because of a powerful blow form an Ogre. He prefers to wear earth and forest colored trousers and tunics.

Background
Johnny lived in the village of Aravel before it was wiped out by the Talanese when they took Valan. His parents and younger sister were slain, he only barely escaped with his life. Living as a peasant, he never got the chance to learn any useful skills or to read, wandering homeless from village to village finding work as a farmhand, then as a trapper. Was out hunting last year when he heard Giovanna and her bandits attacking a nearby caravan. The bandits saw him and came after him, Giovanna had him at swordpoint, when she was struck by a moment of whimsy and mercy, offering him a place with her bandits, money, food, and a place of dignity as opposed to struggling for scraps. He didn't have much choice, so he accepted her offer.

He's hasn't much liked his lot in life for the past year, the original heady rush of power draining away to leave him feeling shameful about his actions. When the party captured him, he realized that this was his chance to turn his life around.

Personality
Johnny is always quick to smile, and look on the bright side of things in life, although he is prone to making poor decisions, especially when stressed.

Beneath his sunny exterior however, there are glimpses of the shame that still haunts him for what he did as a bandit.
