De Fago

"'character quote here' - character"

Ability name Favoured enemy
When you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can call on your mystical bond with nature to mark the target as your favoured enemy for 1 minute or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell).

The first time on each of your turns that you hit the favoured enemy and deal damage to it, including when you mark it, you can increase that damage by 1d4.

You can use this feature to mark a favoured enemy a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

This feature’s extra damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class: to 1d6 at 6th level and to 1d8 at 14th level.

Level 0

 * Bullet list

Level 1

 * Hunters mark: verbal is a haunting sound of the Whippoorwill, which Defago has learnt rises in intensity as the dead are shepherded to the next life
 * Ensnaring strike: verbal is the sound of rustling brambles coupled with the snap of a whip, or belt.

Level 2

 * Bullet list

companion name
Clyde: DeFago views Clyde as a valuable buffer between himself and the merchant folk of the town, as he always seems to get the better prices. He is also an excellent extra set of eyes when in the woods and snow.

Pectinus: DeFago likes Pectinus's words, and interest in his own mimicry. He does worry about him in this rough climate, and is fascinated by his tales of the Smoke.

Dorvid: Defago is uncertain how to take the raven-like mask that the healer often wears, but recognises they have similar talents in treating the ill, albeit with different resources.

DeFago is quite protective of the two newcomers and hopes their mission will thrive.

Past
DeFago has drifted from settlement to settlement in the Dredges, working as guide, hunter and trapper, with his pay and more ending up in hands of cardplayers. Best known for his actions rescuing a band on would be investors from "something" in the wilds around StarFall. This led to him being somewhat of a local hero, although the lustre on that is failing with time.
