History: Jorad hails from Stedding Yontiang, in Kinslayer's Dagger. For the last ten years, he has been travelling to Caemlyn each year to help with maintenance of the old Ogier stonework. His regular travels in human lands have taught him the value of a trusty axe. In fact, his hafted axe was a gift from Queen Morgase, who gave gifts to the Ogier masons several years ago in thanks for their work on her palace. Jorad has taken to calling his axe Keyblade, in reference to Morgase's personal sigal of three golden keys. Worked in rose and lion motifs on the blade, and haft wrapped in a red strip of cloth, Jorad is very proud of this gift, and treasures it highly.
This year, he's been pulled into a mysterious turn of events, and the promise of adventure and excitement - a chance to make his own history! - was too strong to resist.

I like to draw!
There is something that I perhaps should clarify, There has been no formal announcment for a hunt for the horn, and while you as players know that's what this adventure is about, your characters do not start out knowing that. That does not mean your characters may not be 'Hunters for the Horn' on thier own, Its just that there has been no formal call for hunters.
All your characters just happen to be in Tar Valon at a certain point, and wether or not you go after the Horn will depend on how things go.

Edit- Actually, since playing an Accepted would drive me nuts 
and we have an NPC Aes Sedai. I'm going to go with a Tar Valoner Armsman.

Gotcha. Jorad's history has been edited to reflect this. I figured mysterious happenings would accurately enough describe our initial hook.
By the way, Jorad has been in Tar Valon one month. 11 months till the Longing for those keeping score at home!!

Here is a quick writeup of my Armsman. I JUST typed this up and need to get going so errors may be prevalent. If I catch them I'll edit it later. Suggestion on the character are welcome if you see a way to make him better.

Description
Holm is a well-built man standing about 5’10” and weighing 155 pounds. He is 24 at the beginning of the campaign. Well muscled and quite fit, his father often quips that Holm is never sick. He has dark brown hair cut short and blue eyes. He wears a typical explorer’s outfit when traveling.
He is well liked and has a quick wit. He is charismatic and has a knack for finding out what he needs to know. When threaten of insulted he can be quite threaten having the strength to back up any threats. However, as his father often notes he is quite rash. He doesn’t take time to consider the consequences of his actions and often rushes into things.
Backstory
Holm is the son of a merchant family. His mother, Evelyn Gray, is a merchant’s daughter who inherited the family business. She takes of care of the numbers for the business while her husband does the trading. Holm’s father, Jonathan Gray, is a successful merchant in Tar Valon. He makes his money by trading between Tar Valon and Cairhien. Holm often accompanied his father on his trips and picked up the local dialect. Also Holm was taught to fight at an early age to protect himself from bandits encountered on the road. Holm showed great talent with the axe and decided early the military could be for him. However, Holm’s mother ensured her son was well educated too. During his teachings he took great interest in the history of the Age of Legends and geography. He began to dream about his future saying he would travel the world from Arad Doman to Mayene and write about his travels. He wanted to see everything and find the lost relics of the Age of Legend.
When the Aiel War began Holm was 22. He volunteered to be a guard in Tar Valon for the duration of the war. He quickly made friends and showed leadership in the army. By the time of the Battle of Tar Valon he was a sergeant in command of a small unit on the wall. During the battle his unit fought well against the Aiel.
After the war he decided it was time he saw the world. With his parents blessings he would set out to find the unknown. A fighting scholar, he plans to pen a book about the adventures he has and the discoveries he makes. He hopes that when it comes time to settle down he may find a position among the scholars that track the archaeology of the past.
