Name: Filon Maliran Age: 23 Gender: Male Race: Hylian Place of Origin: Hyrule Castle-Town PWC: P/W/C, 1E: 1/5/1 Treasures: Compaction Pouch, Farore's Wind, Pirate's Charm Height: 5 foot 8 inches Weight: 137 Equipment: Dagger, Fake Glasses (they make him look smarter.) Appearance: Filon is somewhat tall and a little lanky. His hair is brown and is just a little beneath his ears in length. His clothes are inexpensive but tidy and he is always found holding a book or reading a scroll. Behind his (fake) glasses, his eyes are an odd green and his skin is a little paler than normal. Residence: A small, barely furnished one-room apartment near the libary. He doesn't really sleep there and only uses it for personal storage and guests. Backstory: Filon was born the third son of Marian and Aldron Maliran. They lived a fairly average life in the Residential District of Castle-Town for several years, Marian a researcher and Aldron a monetary advisor for the nobles. When Filon was around seven years old his mother died in an accident with an out of control horse. Filon was there during the incident, and stills fears horses. Several months later his father died of unknown reasons, though most agree it was heartbreak over losing his wife. This left the eldest son, Rolan, in charge of raising his two younger brothers. Rolan had lost an arm in the mill he worked in, ruining his dreams to join the Hylian Knights. However, he still managed to raise his brothers well, at least for a while. Three years later, Rolan had managed to save up enough Rupees for a small vessel and some supplies. Taking his ten year old brother with him, he formed a small band of adventure hungry men and boys. They formed together a small band of inexperienced fighters and journeyed on the boat to Southern Hyrule. The group were in high spirits, thinking they could single-handedly liberate the entire continent. The instant the boat set shore they were ambushed by a small army of monsters. Every last one of them was slaughtered, except for the ten year old Filon. He managed to get back in the boat before the massacre, and several months later he arrived back in North Hyrule, deprived of both food and water, shivering in fear and cold on the deck of the boat. The people of Castle-Town took pity on the boy, and gave him a job assisting the libarian. He eventaully became the new libarian at the age of twenty. His only surviving brother, Acern, sits in the Goron Slums day and night, drunk out of his mind. The two have not talked for years. Filon was destroyed mentally from the events thirteen years ago, and while vastly intelligent, is erratic and on the verge of insanity. He wishes to be a researcher, like his beloved mother, and has spent most of the last few years reading almost all of the books in the vast libary.
