Guarin is a tall and lean Jarinese fellow. He has grey eyes, sandy brown hair and a full beard. He is typically seen wearing his armour, which consists of a collection of hardened leather pieces worn over his clothing. He is particularly fond of his plate helm, which he waited a long time to be able to afford. His fondness for it stems from the large dent on one side of the helm, which surely would have been a killing blow had he not been wearing it.
Guarin came to Kaldor from his home at Habe in Azadmere in the fall of 718. He was a member of a small mercenary group hired by the Earl of Olokand to investigate some strange occurrences at Loban Manor. In late fall, 718, the same group participated in the successful retaking of Fana by the dwarves from Zerhun. Guarin spent the winter at Fana assisting with the cleanup of the complex, and traveled south when spring arrived, hiring on as a guard at Qualdris.
