Description: Slightly tall and slightly built, Kalivan Greene never quite seems comfortable with his height despite probably having stopped growing some time ago, absentmindedly fidgeting in a birdlike fashion whether sitting still or on the go. His shoulder-length straight brown hair is usually tied back in a single neat braid, with two equally brown lines cresting the prominent ridge of his brow. His upturned eyes are ringed darkly by many sleepless nights, the contrast made all the more stark by his parchment pale skin.

Personality: A very studious man, Kalivan Greene is a relentless reader and apothecarial tinkerer, and can get so very absorbed in his little world that he can come off as a little detached at times. Despite his self-imposed hermitage he likes people just fine, but his lack of social graces can be a hinderance. He is a very patient person, and a good listener.

Background: Born and raised in Arx, Kalivan never had the opportunity to meet his parents, his mother taking ill shortly after his birth, and the identity of his father unknown. Thankfully, he had his maternal grandfather Jerem Greene to take him in. For as long as anyone's bothered to remember, the Greene family have been apothecaries, physicians and healers sworn to House Thrax, respected for their quiet professionalism and discretion. Little Kalivan was more than happy to follow in the family trade, and the first sixteen years of his life was spent as his grandfather's apprentice, learning much under his excellent tutelage. Just shortly after his seventeenth birthday, though, the home/laboratory they shared was destroyed in a fire none could determine the cause of, but thankfully nobody was harmed in the blaze. Already in advanced years by the time he'd adopted Kalivan, he took the loss of his laboratory as an opportunity to retire to more gentler climes in the south. Kalivan, for his part, took this as his opportunity to see the world and learn, and set off to the north to try and glean something of their shamanic traditions. It's unclear whether or not that really panned out for him, but he did greatly expand his knowledge of herbs and plants while among the dark primordial forests. After about three years and a modest peasant fortune spent on his voyage, he returned home to Arx.
