Schepper

Scheppercastles (stylized as scheppercastles and also known by their nickname schepper) is the owner of the Caupona Inn in Haven Vinum.

Childhood
Scheppercastles was born seventeen years ago. Abandoned by his parents at birth, he was found East of Voyagez in a log fort by a nomadic hunter. She decided to hold down the fort and look after the young child. As the years went by, the mysterious woman taught the child the way of the hunter, including sneaking, trap setting, cartography, gathering, and foraging. When he reached seven years of age, the hunter declared that it was time the child chose a name for themself. They chose "Schepper" meaning magician, since the hunter praised him for having a magician's skills, and "Castles" for the hunter praised him for his resilience. When he reached ten years of age, the hunter left him at the fort, leaving behind her green eyespot cloak.

Adolescence
After being left by himself once more, Schepper decided to travel in search of answers. He traveled from Senza-Nome to New Ashina City to Toscurnama. During his travels, he heard whispers that the Republic Of Lydoneia had ambitious developmental plans, including a library in Haven containing knowledge and tales from all over Alathra. Drawn by the possibility of finding out about the woman who raised him, he made his way to Haven. When they arrived in Haven, though being in awe of the architecture, they found the city overwhelming, and decided to instead settle in the smaller town of Haven Vinum.

Young adulthood
After settling in Haven Vinum, Schepper was offered a position at the local winery, a good role as his hunter training had taught him patience and his foraging experience had taught him how to prepare ingredients. He was subsequently offered a position at the local inn. As of November 17, 2021, Scheppercastles is the owner of the Caupona Inn in Haven Vinum.

Appearance
Scheppercastles wardrobe consists entirely of eyespot cloaks, a unique cloak with a jeering face on the back of the hood to ward off predators. They created the red, purple, and yellow cloaks themself, the green one originally belonged to the nomadic hunter. He also wears a pair of stained glass goggles to complement his cloak. Because of this, his true appearance is always hidden.
