Little is known of Shouglin Anthkyri’s early life, and the old dverg rarely offers more than a joke when questioned about his past. Already considered an elder when he encountered the young Ren Navei’Wan, Shouglin found the high-aelv alone after the destruction of Sylivar and took responsibility for raising him. Rather than settle in one place, he brought Ren along on his travels, teaching him how to survive while pursuing adventures across the continent.
Decades later, Shouglin and Ren encountered the Company of the White Wing, where they were reunited with Esriella, one of Ren’s distant relatives. Both soon joined the company and later fought beside its members during the overthrow of King Albric. Despite his age and guarded history, Shouglin remains adventurous, dependable, and possessed of an enormous sense of humor, rarely allowing danger or hardship to prevent him from finding something to laugh about.
