The History of Elwood Coin

The history of Coin is as black and white as he is green. Born to a rich businessman in the Shire, Elwood grew up in the lap of luxury. However, the family business was plagued by some bad investments (or bastardly competitors depending on who you asked). It was failing and there was nothing Elwood could do to save it.

Elwood sought refuge in drinking, gambling, and sleeping with all the wrong people. His excess carried him away from his native Shire - to the other side of the Imperium. To help pay his bar tabs he eventually found his way to a mercenary company, the Ruby Round Eyes. After his experience in the cutthroat world of business he found cutting throats to be much easier.

Elwood worked his way through the ranks, showing a natural aptitude for swordsmanship. He worked diligently for 10 years honing his skills in combat, and in business.

The life of a mercenary requires certain skills and Elwood Coin is proud to claim them as his own. Most importantly, Elwood Coin dresses entirely in green after winning this honor the hard way many years ago. Even today he does not wear any other color and won't go to a feast without proper attire!

The Ruby Round Eyes were looking for a captain and Elwood seemed like the perfect man for the job with an abundance of both knowledge and skill. But he made one mistake in his quest for recognition: refusing to acknowledge his flowing blond hair was in fact a blond wig.

After being ousted from the Ruby Round Eyes, Elwood Coin again found himself in search of something to fulfill his need for glory and warfare. He strolled into the Imperial Colosseum one day and decided he had found a new home. A place to put his paired swords, blond hair and green armor to the test.

Maybe someday he'll return to take up the family trade - till then, his blades and the Colosseum hold all the reward he needs.
