Faro
Faro is a dragonborn bard with a battered lute and fastidious dress. He carries a short sword and keeps careful notes. He looks out for Kettra in particular, pulling her back from danger more than once, and he presses the party's interests in negotiations—arguing Torvin for better terms and advocating for the group's chances where others hesitate. During the Scaries crossing, a fallen spar badly broke his left arm in several places, leaving him unable to fight for the rest of the day. His left hand will not fully recover from that injury.
Also known as Farrow, Pharaoh
