Rufus the Well Travelled is one of the most respected bards of the The Ensemble, the Bard College in Valoria. While a skilled musician he is most famous for his comedic story telling and his written works, which include books on philosophy, history, mythology in addition to several detailing his extensive travels.
His sardonic wit and lack of respect for authority are constantly getting him in trouble with those in power, though it is said that the king of Valoria and the god known as The Gentleman both are fond of him and protect him in their respective ways.
