Background: Born in the Cambunian Mountains, Zeno was unsatisfied with the quiet life of a shepherd and dreamt of adventure. So he practiced with pointed sticks and stones, gaining great skill in throwing them at imaginary enemies -- or wolves looking to prey on his family's sheep. As soon as he was old enough, he joined the army of Boniface of Montferrat. He liked it well enough, being skilled as a scout, until the day that his unit was routed in the capture of Larissa by the armies of Epiros. He found his best friend gravely wounded, his right arm mangled, and carried him away from the battle. At his friend's request, Zeno carried him all the way to the sanctuary of Asklepios in Morea, seeking the assistance of the famed healers living there. Although his friend survived, he still lost his arm and chose to remain at the sanctuary. Zeno, for his part, decided to accept a position as the guard of one of the wise men who was visiting the sanctuary. He's been working as a man-at-arm and guard for magi ever since.
Personality: Zeno is an easygoing young man who likes to seek out the ordinary people who live everywhere, encouraging them to share their thoughts and troubles with him. He presents himself as just another ordinary man, not too bright nor pretty. He is sometimes impulsive, but for the most part he doesn't cause trouble.
