Protector of the Exiled

Whether you hide in the shadows and watch over the one you protect, or stand boldly by their side as their shield, clashing against those who would do them harm, you have devoted your life to servitude for an individual who has been exiled. Perhaps it's a loved one or family member, maybe you were the cause of their exile or you simply believe their exile was an unforgivable injustice. No matter the reason, you chose to follow them into exile and feel it is your duty to keep them safe.

Skill Proficiencies: Your ability to quickly adapt to the unknown grants you proficiency in Survival and your choice of: Insight or Investigation 

Languages: Exiled to a new land, you adapted quickly to learn the local language. (Consult your DM to determine appropriate language.) 

Equipment: A memento from your homeland or family, a set of traveler's clothes, a gaming set of your choice and an explorer's pack or a pouch with 10gp.

Suggested Characteristics

You are a rarity in this world. Few people would leave behind everything they know and love to follow another into exile. It may be a deep bond or an overwhelming sense of guilt or injustice, but something lead you down this path.
