Young Life

Bikkle grew up in a band of troubadours which travelled from town to town. As he grew up, he learned to entertain crowds for coin as his profession. He took a great interest in the cultures and customs of different peoples in his free time, and spent much time in the local archives while in town. When Bikkle reached the age of seventeen years, he set out on his own to accomplish his aspirations. What these could be, only he knew.

Founding of Purpose

For a time Bikkle wandered as a travelling entertainer. This routine lifestyle continued for a period of years and Bikkle became a handsome young bard with a growing reputation for his inspirational stories.

One evening, Bikkle came to a crossroads. He would not make it to the next village, and could not travel along the road at night for fear of thieves and brigands. Nearby, an old stone path was visible and appeared to lead to an abandoned castle on a hill. Deciding to camp there for the night, Bikkle made his way up to the ruined structure. Unfortunately for the young bard the castle was a local point of interest among the nearby village and was extremely haunted. The exact details are unknown, but a local member of the guild of antiquities later found the young man bewildered and on the verge of death. Bikkle was saved in time, and made a full recovery thanks to the noted guild scholar. His admiration and gratitude for the scholar became an admiration for the guild itself, and less than a year later Bikkle joined the guild.

Rise to Fame

Bikkle quickly rose up in ranks within the guild until he became a highly respected guild explorer within the region. Over time, he gained a trusted party and was commended by the guild in the halls of honor for his discoveries. He earned the moniker “Bikkle Bones” due to his uncanny knack for studying the bones of long lost ruins.

Sudden Death

Bikkle was on a routine expedition to a local abandoned castle when he met his untimely demise. While the party was moving single file through a room, it appeared as if Bikkle suddenly triggered a lethal magic trap. Blue arcane wisps of energy surrounded Bikkle’s body and in an instant, all that remained was a steaming pile of flesh. Strangely enough, no one else in the party was affected by the trap, and although Bikkle’s flesh remained, his items, armor, and bones disappeared without a trace.
