As the Councilor representing The Great Forest and former Hand to The Speaker of the Wood, Torick left his former position at the Speaker's behest, traveling to The Hub in order to be The Speaker's voice where their own could not be heard. The next most junior member of The Realm Council next to Darius Martine, Torick's out-going and affable nature has made quite the impression since his arrival in the city, which has done no small amount of work to dispel to myths about the standoffish nature of his people. Though generally kind-hearted and generous, his slowness to act on measures has often been a source of frustration to his colleagues, though he would prefer to describe it as a wish to be certain or his choices rather than risk acting rashly.
