Background Bullet Points

-planar traveler stranded in Quelmar, original party got wiped out by X [easiest answer would be githyanki or mind flayers but could be anything local]

-(cant plane shift on his own and all his 'zerths' got killed)

-presumably picked up by the outpost colonists while he was wandering around trying to figure out how to continue his mission

-belongs to obscure order of gith knights whose purpose is to destroy planar gates

-believe permanent gates are 'tools of chaos' that will eventually merge and destroy all the other universes if allowed to exist

-(borrowing this idea from Greyhawk where it makes somewhat more sense, also why I changed the species from relith to gith)

-otherwise somewhat mild and curious about Quelmar, but there's underlying 'sadvibes' because he thinks this world is doomed to fall to chaos

-(also borrowing from Elric and Morgaine novels)
