Biography
Craig grew up wild in Forest Rim, a little village of the beaten track. Every opportunity he got, he was outdoors, making his way through the surrounding forest and plains studying nature and observing animals.
The older he grew the further away from his home he ventured, often to the despair of his parents. It went even so far that the only times you had any certainty of finding him at his home was around breakfast or at the conclusion-of-the-day dinner. There he would share his stories about which animals he had spotted and what they were doing, with the rest of his family. Mostly in the wintertime when the weather was too abysmal to go exploring just for the fun of it
As he grew up, his knowing his way around the area became highly appreciated by the village people. He was often asked to accompany a foraging or hunting party because by spending this much time outdoor he had become familiar with the plant life and animal behavior of the larger region around the village.
As an appreciation for his services, he always got a cut of the haul to bring home to his parents.

It was during one of these excursions that he was approached by Mirdinna, a friend of the family who was about the same age as his parent. She was a D rank Rogue and said she wanted to train him because when she didn’t make it as an adventurer. Charles, a retired C rank Rogue from the village, had taught her to become a huntress and she now wanted to do the same for Craig.

Growing up wild, he knew his way around his home and knew how to be careful and not make any noise. But seeing Mirdinna use [Soundless] and [Tracking] to move like a whisper without making any sound and pointing out faint traces that only made sense once she pointed them out to him was something else.

On one of the training days, she handed him an object wrapped in cloth. It contained a big survival style knife and a sheath just like the one she wore. She told him it will serve him well both as hunter and Rogue, should he receive that class.

After that, time flew by and before he knew it, it was time to leave for Riledo and the awakening ceremony.

At the parting, he said that he’ll swear to pay it forward. She only nodded.

Craig's little group with all the aspiring adventures made it to Rim City and from there they joined the caravan to Riledo.

At his awaking he got the Beast tamer class C rank. His skills were [Tracking],[Soundless], [Throw] and [Eyes of the beast]. It wasn't the same class as Mirdinna but he got the same skill set so if things don’t work out he could always return to Forest Rim and become at least as good a hunter as Mirdinna.

But soon after, he got picked up as a junior member of the Gryphon Knights. A guild of good repute.
The first thing he did was sending a letter to Mirdinna and his parents.

Upon hearing his story, a fox girl guild member Rogue taught him how to use the kunai. But he still got a short sword in case of a melee fight.

It has now been three years since his awaking and Craig (and his brown marten companion Mira) has become a valued member of the Gryphon Knights.
