At a Glance
Standing 3’2” tall, and weighing in at 36lbs. Ringo “Warbler” Potts is far from an intimidating figure. His rounded boyish features, nest-like wavy auburn hair, short-scruffy beard, and perpetually half closed eyes tend to give others the immediate impression that he just woke up after falling asleep in a pile of leaves. He walks with a noticeable limp, wears brown, green, and orange leather armor, old rough-spun clothing, and well worn brown leather boots with one floppy sole that he is perpetually repairing. The staff he leans on is a gnarled old branch from a centuries old pear tree that he has carefully tended and cultivated into a miniature bonsai at the top, which is capable of producing miniature fruit. The exact means by which it continues to draw the nutrients necessary for its continued growth is uncertain. When interacting with others Warbler tends towards being somewhere between jumpy and on the verge of being distracted by a floating leaf and wandering away. He gives off the impression of being unfocused on the moment before him, which is most often true.
Doings
A peaceful halfling with a deep connection to plants and an unbridled rage simmering beneath, after the Swans burned down his hometown of Glenhollow. Joined up with the conspirators after a period of wandering dazed and confused in the wilderness upon seeing them wrecking Swan face and feeling that they were the best option for getting revenge upon the organization. Became fishing buddies with Sylas and gaming and sneaking buddies with Ethan. Once in Galoring, started infiltrating the Church of the Kindled Flame and started seeing some concerning activities. On the rescue mission to recover Sylas from the Feywild, found a sylvan mirror of Glenhollow there.
Season 13
The Shepherd’s End kids, in their jaunts through the Feywild, came across an odd haven with a ship grown out of a tree with a sign that said “Welcome to Glenhollow.” Albrecht had found shelter here, as much as there ever was shelter in the Feywild.
