Name:  Kris

Age: He doesn't know but looks around 20 years old

Height: 5'6"

Eye Color: Brown

Hair: Blond, longish, scruffy

Occupation: Thief

Personality: Hyper, friendly and cheerful, hiding a deep sadness.

History: Kris has no idea who his family were, he can't remember
anything about them.  He was employed in a sort of Thieves Kitchen by
an old woman called Mrs Connelly.  She said that she found him
abandoned when he was a small baby.  She taught him how to pickpocket
and sent him and the other youngsters living in her house out to
steal from the wealthier members of the community.  She wasn't averse
to using a whip on her 'children' as she called them and Kris's back
is criss crossed with scars and welts.

He finally ran away from her when his best friend died as a result of
her heavy handed punishments.  Kris lived rough on the streets for
some time managing to stay alive by using his skills.

He is well able to live off his wits and lying comes as easily to him
as breathing.  However, if he gives his loyalty to a person or a
cause he would give his life for them or it.

He is small and nondescript and can mix with a crowd without anyone
either noticing him or remembering him afterwards.  His small stature
can be a benefit but it is also against him when it comes to close
combat.  His preferred weapon is a knife and he keeps one in each
boot in a specially designed holder.  He fights dirty because he
would otherwise soon be overcome.
