Name: Rial "Darkpatch" Irunnwey
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Species: Ferret
Occupation: Traveling merchant.
Physical Appearance:
Darkpatch's body is slender and thin like an eel with two long footpaws that contain a wide assortment of blisters and bruises from seasons of walking and running. His legs are long and bony that reach up to his body in a curved line. His tail is long and pitch black like a furry black snake has a death grip on his bottom, and above it his slim and curved back arches up towards his normal sized head. He has circular stripes going around his face like many ferrets do, finally ending with a mask like blackness around his eyes. His right eye is concealed by a leather eyepatch that's strap runs around the top of his face. What's not concealed by the eyepatch looks cracked and scabby. He does not show any muscles in his thin arms. Darkpatch wears a brown rough leather tunic with the arms of it clipped off to reveal his arms. He has light brown rough trousers that had been torn and scraped so many times they look like a pile of rags.
Possessions
His precious blowpipe with an assortment of poison darts, an ill-concealed knife, various pots, pans or anything that he is able to scavenge from the ruins of holts, dens or cottages.
Personality:
Darkpatch to creatures who don't know him is a jolly and rambunctious old ferret who is a kindly merchant who won't even hesitate to give a poor old family a good deal on a pot or a pan. In truth, behind that dazzling smile are cool and calculating eyes who knows just where to press a mental pressure point and weave a complex web of lies certain to open the heart to any poor beast who does business with him. He is a sly, cowardly and greedy beast who would rob a badger of his vittles and beg for mercy as the angry beast comes storming after him. He is also boastful and vain and pronounced himself "The Greatest Liar in all of Mossflower". He also gets other beasts to do his battles for him by manipulating them with gossip and rumours. He also uses his blowpipe whenever tracked by other creatures by setting up ambushes and poisoning them because he is too cowardly to face them paw to paw. Also is very cynical and is lethargic. In short, he is an intelligent but cowardly scam artist.
Strengths:
Very intelligent and manipulative, skilled in firing a blowpipe. An expert liar.
Weaknesses:
Mastered cowardice to an art, is very weak and feeble, can be lethargic and unwilling to work, not very loyal to many, his pride can be his undoing almost all the time.
History:
Rial Irunnwey was born to vermin leaders of the Blackspot horde of vermin in the Northlands, Liva and Blackspot Irunnwey. Born weak and feeble, Rial was more than a disappointment to Chief Blackspot who was old and wished to get a suitable heir to the Blackspot horde. He got the best warriors in the horde to train him from childhood but to no avail. Most of them gave up the ghost in frustration of teaching such an unwilling pupil even to the protests of the horde chief. Finally in anger Blackspot ordered Rial to take threescore vermin and attack a Long Patrol squadron patrolling Salamandastron. The attack was a complete failure. Under Rial's horrible leadership and cowardice in battle the vermin were swamped by the Long Patrol hares. Rial's eye was gouged out by a hare's sword and he survived by playing dead on the battlefield. When the battle was over Rial slumped back to the campsite announcing his failure. In a fit of anger and rage Blackspot almost slew his son right then and there but Rial's mother Liva intervened shoving Rial out of the way as Blackspot's sword ran her through instead. Horrified, Rial fled camp and deserted the horde, much to no one's notice since the stoat Reprusu (a survivor of the aforementioned battle) slew Blackspot and became chieftain of the now new-named Reprusu horde. Bleeding badly from his eye and on the verge of death Rial was taken in by a wily shrew named Elberic. The shrew managed to stop the bleeding from the eye and healed him, giving the ferret a black eyepatch with which Elberic jokingly named him "Darkpatch", a name which Rial goes by to this day. So the newly christened Darkpatch left the kindly shrew and decided to go traveling when he witnessed a gang of rats razing a wood mouse cottage to the ground, taking all the vittles and valuables. Curious, Darkpatch scavenged threw the wreckage and found a huge assortment of pots, pans, ladles and the like. So Darkpatch decided to take them with him. He was walking along when his stomach started grumbling, and seeing that he had no food left in his haversack provided by Elberic and did not wish to use his precious blowpipe which his father had given him before the battle Darkpatch was certain he'd starve to death. But then he stumbled onto a family of poor hedgehogs. Suddenly an idea came to his mind. Posing as a traveling, honest merchant Darkpatch gave away all of his cutlery which he was carrying with him and in return the hedgehog family gave him a great assortment of vittles and a stuffed haversack. Darkpatch then decided to be an... "honest" merchant and give creatures trinkets and such in return for food.

Liva "Rooktongue" Irunnwey- Former mate of Daed "Blackspot" Irunnwey. Mother. Deceased
