Yorrick Wembledim

Background

Originally, Yorrick hails from the Anarian Empire but does not generally talk about his younger years or where his extensive knowledge of rifts comes from, though when asked about it he usually responds with a sad refusal to answer. He was a significant part of the creation of Shieldhaven and is rumoured to be the one to deliver it the power to resist rift formation within the area for which shieldhaven gets it's name.

At first glance, one would say that Yorrick is nothing but a high minded layabout, with his shabby and often torn clothing, or dirty and unkempt appearance. However, to him, such frivolities are pointless when uncovering the secrets of the universe. Despite his appearance, Yorrick is one of the foremost experts on Riftology and Aether studies. His knowledge and research has lead to many recent advances such as a feat once thought impossible: Temporarily stabilizing a rift in Trimaris.

Recently he has tasked adventurers from Trimaris with recovering specific items from Rifts that have opened nearby, as the same rifts cannot open near Shieldhaven itself.
