Garfin Paxisys is a half-elf, with very long ears and a cool demeanor. He grew up in a small village near the edge of the Great Forest, where he was raised by his father, who was a skilled wizard. His mother, a human, passed away when Garfin was very young, and so his childhood was mostly spent in his father's company.
When Garfin turned 18, he began to feel restless and yearned to discover the world beyond his village. He wandered around different cities and towns, hoping to find his place in the world. It wasn't long before he stumbled upon an academy of magic, where he enrolled in a course for budding mages.
Garfin it wasn't long before he caught the eye of his mentor, a wizard by the name of Faylen. Faylen took Garfin under his wing and nurtured his magical talents, teaching him all he knew about the different schools of magic.
After years of hard work, Garfin graduated from the academy, and soon embarked on his own adventures. He traveled far and wide, developing a reputation as a skilled mage who could tackle any challenge with his impressive arsenal of magic spells.
Despite this, Garfin never forgot his roots, and would often return home to visit his father and exchange news of his latest exploits. His father was pleased to see him thrive, but Garfin always felt that the elder wizard harbored some degree of jealousy towards his success.
As he furthered his travels, Garfin developed a more introspective view of the world. He came to realize that magical power alone was not enough to conquer all of life's challenges, and he began to delve deeper into his own psyche and sense of morality.
These days, Garfin is working as a freelance mage, taking on assignments from various clients around the world. He is motivated by a deep sense of justice and the desire to help others - even those who are far beyond his reach.
Personality-wise, Garfin is often perceived to be a solitary figure. Nonetheless, those who know him well understand that he has a deep well of emotions that few people can prompt him to explore. His life credo is to never give up, no matter how hopeless the circumstances might seem.
The defining moment of Garfin's life occurred when he was young, observing the way his father dealt with the many obstacles life threw his way. It taught him resilience and the vital importance of determination.
He has a long history of doing battle with beastly and fiendish creatures. His years of self-imposed exile from the company of his own species have imbued him with a boldness and fearlessness that would never be present in other half-elves, rendering him one of the most formidable and respected magical beings around.
