Max Hillthorn is a father, and a widower. His young daughter lives with his sister while he travels to sell pelts and anything he can hunt, as that's what he's good at. He was taught from a young age to hone himself, be smart, and know what it means to know your soul. He kills humanely, respects the dead, and fights with honor when applicable. He doesn't have much in book smarts, but he knows enough, he knows the wilds well and has mastered the art of the soul. He sometimes will fight in arena combat for extra money, and is currently on a long pilgrimage to bring home enough for his daughter and sister so he doesn't have to leave again for a very, very long time.
