5'8", 140 lbs., light brown hair, green eyes, left-handed
Burslem is a handsome fellow of average height and slim build. His hair is light brown, and he is clean-shaven but for a small, neatly trimmed mustache. He dresses well, though conservatively. He never used to wear armor or carry weapons beyond, say, a rapier, but his recent experiences have driven home the occasional nessecity thereof.
Almost everyone who gets to know Burslem likes him. He has a natural charm, and uses it well. He has no specific job title or duty for Lord Othemar, but being a shrewd judge of both character and goods, and able to put people at their ease, he often assists in trading, negotiations, entertaining guests, talking with the Lord's farmers, etc.. Those who've been around long enough themselves, know that Burslem has been in Lord Othemar's household for at least several years. Burslem doesn't talk much about his early years.
Those who've gotten to know Burslem better may have learned that he is the youngest son of a wealthy Braecan merchant. His aunt is the Lady of a domain in Vaerin. He has an older sister, who is taking over their family's business, and a brother who is a squire. Burslem wasn't physically cut out to be a squire, and wasn't that interested in business, but his father found a place for him with Lord Othemar.
After many adventures in the service of Lord Othemar, Burslem is now attempting to win a Lordship of his own in goblin-infested Fardossa.
