Description
Rulan is an older middle aged human with slightly balding grey hair and dark brown eyes. He has pale, ashy skin, large dark bags under his eyes, and a heavily wrinkled forehead. He dresses in simple but fine clothes, usually composed of a tunic and vest.
Rulan is a bit of a straight lace, and appreciates cleanliness and order. Regardless, he aims to be helpful above all else, and is generally understanding when extenuating circumstances provide him with new headaches, though he may end up cursing the culprits under his breath. When dealing with the more eccentric members of Cloverhall, he tries to act as a sort of moral conscience, but usually acquiesces to demands. He enjoys collecting small wooden horses.
Skills and Abilities
Rulan has been keeping Cloverhall running for most of his life, and is skilled in paperwork, cleaning, logistics, trade, sewing, and bartering. He is also a competent baker, but claims it is only a hobby.
History
Rulan began working at Cloverhall as a young teenager at the receptionist's desk, and basically never left. As he grew older, the previous keeper of the hall passed away, and Rulan took his post. Rulan began devoting his life to the smooth operation of the hall, and eventually it became a point of pride for him. However, due to the size of the hall, Rulan was overworked and had to focus his efforts on the rooms the guild utilized, leading to other rooms falling into disuse and disrepair.
In Iron 987, Rulan hired a local woman, Adamine Longshallow, to head the reception counter of the guild due to the previous receptionist passing away under mysterious circumstances.
In 989 IaC after the arrival of the Cursebusters to Cloverhall, Rulan began caring for some of the various animals that group brought back to the guild. Rulan also built up an odd relationship with Lambchop due to the odd requests the half orc would often make of him.
