Boots is most recognised by.. you guessed it, his boots. They're a very well made and looked after pair of adventuring boots made of black leather, similar design to horse riding boots but cut short, they have a three buckles, just and below the ankle, and last near top of the boot.

In his youth in Meshela he was taken by a gang for the first week Boots held hope that someone would come rescue or bail him out. A month later his hope faded and he worked to free himself, eventually he did so and fled to Uthasil where he searched for backing and help to start a new life and find a new family.

During his early days in the Blackfyre corporation, before they made their way to Mor-Thir. Boots gained his nickname from an event which he has buried from public knowledge. These days he just points to his fancy boots and claims they're the reason behind the name. Rumours are if you're good friends and with enough drink he may let slip the real reason behind his name.

In the following years Boots excelled at finding intel and processing information, to gain the rank of spy master Boots sought out every last scrap of history about himself destroying records of his family, upbringing, and even his own birth name, now only going by his nickname of Boots, some say if you dig far enough you can find his past while others claim he planted false information in place of real now hidden past. After many more years of service he was one of four scouts sent to each capital of Mor-Thir in 12337, assigned to Sunwood in Covania, the first stop for the corporation during its expansion from Ostrov.

Boots is mostly working as an informant and intel gatherer for Blackfyre, while also running the tavern front to the shady business.
