Briefly provide a pertinent detail or notable quality of your character’s history:
Rufus was raised in fairly fortunate surroundings in Paeldern. His father being a rather wealthy trader lead to him to have whatever he needed whenever he needed it. This boon required that he act certain ways to further the family name, something that Rufus didn't really vibe with. He would often act out or in a manner his father deemed inappropriate to their standing. This struggle continued for years, till Rufus one day had enough of it and took a considerable bit of coin from his father's safe and left at the age of sixteen.
He had no real plan or goal, only to be out from under the stiffling nature of his father. Rufus wandered the provinces going from city to city enjoying everything he could about life. He did this for roughly thirty years before Rufus felt an urge that couldn't be satiated by booze,women,and any other manner of indulgence. He felt unfulfilled, as though he has no life's purpose. He took some time and deep thought on how he might best achieve such a fulfillment, till it came to him. He could achieve his goal of wandering the provinces while helping people that typically get left out in the cold. Rather than visit the larger cities and waste his time Rufus then began traveling the provinces once more, only this time he took himself to every village and small town he could find, helping where he could. Everything from chopping wood and gathering resources to even getting in a few brawls when the fighting was either unwarranted or drastically unfair.
He continued this much more fulfilling life for decades, even earning himself the nickname the grey wanderer in his later years. For the weather worn old man would wander into an area and help best he could, leaving just as quickly as he came. It in a same town that he had just managed to save a boy from a wild boar that he heard the word of the first province and the recent effort at saving the area. He know in his heart of hearts that is where he needed to wander to next.
Briefly write an in-character response to the following scenario:
Rufus had used much of what he owned as far as possessions and coin to purchase a writ of passage into the province. He idly waited his time in the line, spending his time between smoking his long stemmed pipe and doing what he could to help those in line around him. Giving a starved woman a piece of bread he had left in his supplies or giving a pep talk to a downtrodden man to get him ready for his new beginning at life.
Finally Rufus' time came to the Officient, he simply nodded to the speech and handed over his writ of passage before being sent forth into the wild region that was the first province.
