Played by . View character sheet.

Dae'run, a young, gifted druid, is motivated by the desire to understand his species' great struggle with the beast within and by extension the origin of life and emotions. Dae'run is part of an isolated tribe, high up in the mountains, that feels that the best way to balance themselves was an applied focus of the anger that permeates them. While this lets them be psychologically stable it does not let them grow as a culture and as a species, and Dae'run wants to free his people from those bonds. This desire, however, conflicted with the tribe's shaman and elders, who believed that they had been created this for a reason beyond their comprehension and that it wasn't their place to question the will of nature or the gods. Unable to convince the elders, Dae'run decided to leave and seek out new knowledge and understanding in the hopes to prove his view, so that he may one day return.

Soft and gentle but well-spoken when in control of himself, Dae'run is one not for wasted movements or extra words. Speaking only when necessary for the most part he exudes a quiet confidence in himself, preferring to speak after careful consideration. This changes though when he enters a rage. Flying into battle with a roar and a ferocious charge Dae'run commands the power of his presence in combat as his instincts take a hold of him. Driven by the urge to protect the weak and defenseless, and defeating his enemy in honorable combat while caring less for his own survival, Dae'run is known to be a force to be reckoned with.

Dae'run feels a general disdain for what other creatures call anger or rage (even his own). These other beings only experience a mere ember's worth of the emotional bonfire that flows through himself. When he hears of atrocities committed by lesser beings under the guise of anger or rage he can only feel contempt, knowing that if he can control the great currents of his emotions, no one else has any excuses. In that light he also dislikes war, conflict or intrigue, as it often leads to destruction and suffering, threatening the precarious balance of nature and society.

In order to learn all he can, Dae'run has traveled far and wide across Illfrean looking for bits and pieces that offer more insight and could aid him in his search for understanding. His towering physique being more of a disadvantage then helpful as people tend to avoid him rather than answer his questions.

He currently resides at the court of Wendele Selu Helevorn-Sedis as part of an arrangement between them and the Unseelie Dominion Queen, to learn more from Wendele's experience in diplomacy and politics while offering her his protection in name of the Unseelie Fey.
