Profile
Intro
Ernesh works as a sword for hire during the day, and by night he is an informant for the rebellion against the crown. He only takes jobs as he needs them, and only ever helps the rebellion for any information or other needs they may have. Otherwise, he tries to live a quiet life away from the everyday person. He does not talk often, given that he does not have his own voice, and he can only mimic the voices and sounds he has heard from others to communicate. He sometimes goes as far as to pretend he is mute so people don't talk to him.

Charisma
Ernesh is a bit of an eerie character at first. The way he communicates often creeps people out, his bird-like form, and his preference for the night and solidarity makes people assume the worst of him. He does not seem to care enough to actively try to remedy the assumptions people make about him. Almost all of the choices he makes has some sort of purpose behind them, usually motivated by self preservation.

Summary
Ernest grew up begging on the streets, living with a small group of children of all ages who collectively worked together to survive. He stole for food, and pocket change for some professional thieves. Eventually he was taken in by a group of people making a pilgrimage across the country, and he was trained to use a sword through them. He parted ways with them just before he started to become an adult, and settled in an overcrowded and corrupt city. Being one of the few of his kind, he became well known among the dark market.
After only couple of years of committing terrible deeds, and spying for those in power, he was hired by a powerful noblewoman and a wizard, who worked together to retain power over the city. They took a liking to him, and he was taken in as the wizard's apprentice. He worked for them for many years, and was given food, shelter, and even some power.
However, there came a time when the noblewoman's actions became too cruel to justify, and he found himself unwilling to participate. The people in power turned on him, but he could not leave. Ernest reached out to try and sound the alarms about their deeds, in hope that he would be given a way out, but nothing was done for him, or the people impacted by the noblewoman's terrible deeds.
He was forced to flee the city, and leave his life behind. He relocated to another far off town to try and start his life anew again, but he often lives in fear that one day he will be discovered by the noblewoman. Since his terrible experience, he tries to live a more ethical life, but the need to survive makes that difficult.
When the rebellion sought out his services, he initially declined, fearing of being caught up in another mess. However, after some consideration, he has agreed to make an alliance with them. Although he is not particularly active in their cause, he has been making smaller steps to try and use the terrible skills he has mastered to do some good.
